Is there any workaround to apply more then one Effect on one UIElement in WPF?

Question

Hi WPF Lovers,

Is there any workaround to apply more then one Effect on one UIElement in WPF? e.g.

                        <Button Content="Blurred (Radius=2)">
                            <Button.Effect>
                                <BlurEffect Radius="2"></BlurEffect>
                            </Button.Effect>
                        </Button>

Thanks in advance. Saghar Ayyaz

Answer 1

Perhaps you might be interested in the BitmapEffectGroup:

 <Button Content="Blurred (Radius=2)">
     <Button.Effect>
         <BitmapEffectGroup>
             <BlurEffect Radius="2"></BlurEffect>
         </BitmapEffectGroup>
     </Button.Effect>
 </Button>

You can wrap the UIElement in, say, a Border, and apply the additional effect to the Border.

  <Border>
    <Border.Effect>
        <DropShadowEffect/>
     </Border.Effect>
     <Button Content="Blurred (Radius=2)">
       <Button.Effect>
         <BlurEffect Radius="2"></BlurEffect>
       </Button.Effect>
      </Button>
  </Border>
