Dynamically creating an ImageMap (clickable area on image) in WPF using codebehind.
- by Thomas Stock
Hi, I'm trying to create "imagemaps" on an image in wpf using codebehind.
See the following XML:
<Button Type="Area">
<Point X="100" Y="100"></Point>
<Point X="100" Y="200"></Point>
<Point X="200" Y="200"></Point>
<Point X="200" Y="100"></Point>
<Point X="150" Y="150"></Point>
</Button>
I'm trying to translate this to a button on a certain image in my WPF app.
I've already did a part of this, but I'm stuck at setting the Polygon as the button's "template":
private Button GetAreaButton(XElement buttonNode)
{
// get points
PointCollection buttonPointCollection = new PointCollection();
foreach (var pointNode in buttonNode.Elements("Point"))
{
buttonPointCollection.Add(new Point((int)pointNode.Attribute("X"), (int)pointNode.Attribute("Y")));
}
// create polygon
Polygon myPolygon = new Polygon();
myPolygon.Points = buttonPointCollection;
myPolygon.Stroke = Brushes.Yellow;
myPolygon.StrokeThickness = 2;
// create button based on polygon
Button button = new Button();
?????
}
I'm also unsure on how to add/remove this button to/from my image, but I'm looking into that.
Any help is appreciated.
