I need to draw some simple lines within a Border control (or similar) that always stretch to the bounds of the Border. Is there a way to stretch the lines only but not its pen? Without involving lots of C#?
In this version the lines stretch:
<Border>
<Border.Background>
<DrawingBrush>
<DrawingBrush.Drawing>
<DrawingGroup>
<GeometryDrawing Brush="Red">
<GeometryDrawing.Geometry>
<GeometryGroup>
<RectangleGeometry Rect="0,0 100,1000" />
<LineGeometry StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="100,1000"/>
<LineGeometry StartPoint="100,0" EndPoint="0,1000"/>
</GeometryGroup>
</GeometryDrawing.Geometry>
<GeometryDrawing.Pen>
<Pen Thickness="20" Brush="Black"/>
</GeometryDrawing.Pen>
</GeometryDrawing>
</DrawingGroup>
</DrawingBrush.Drawing>
</DrawingBrush>
</Border.Background>
</Border>
The best solution I have come up with is this:
<Border>
<Grid>
<Path Stretch="Fill" Fill="Red" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" Data="M0,0 L100,0 100,1000 0,1000 z" />
<Path Stretch="Fill" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" Data="M 0,0 L0,0 100,1000" />
<Path Stretch="Fill" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" Data="M 100,0 L100,0 0,1000" />
</Grid>
</Border>
But isn't there a better solution? That doesn't involve extra Grid?
