RectangleGeometry with relative dimensions... how?
- by Padu Merloti
I'm trying to replicate the nowadays so fashionable "reflex" effect on a controltemplate for buttons I'm creating.
The basic idea is to create a rectangle with a gradient fill from white to transparent and then clip some of that semi-transparent rectangle with a rectanglegeometry.
The problem is that I don't know how to define a relative rectangle geometry. I kind of worked around width by defining a large value (1000), but height is a problem. For example, it works good for buttons that have a 200 height, but doesn't do anything for smaller buttons.
Any ideas?
<Rectangle RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="Transparent">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,0.55">
<GradientStop Color="#66ffffff" Offset="0.0" />
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="1.0" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
<Rectangle.Clip>
<RectangleGeometry Rect="0,0,1000,60" />
</Rectangle.Clip>
</Rectangle>
