Hi, I want to create a speed dial feature in WPF. I have seen that feature in browsers. where multiple page images are shown. The user can click on the pages to go to that page.
I searched in Google and found that i can do this using RenderTargetBitmap. Basically i am trying to create the image of the screen using RenderTargetBitmap and add it to the stackpanel. But i am not able to add the image to the stackpanel. Any suggestion?
List<Visual> visualList = new List<Visual>();
UserControls.UserControl1 uc1 = new UserControls.UserControl1();
visualList.Add(uc1);
for(int i = 0;i<=6;i++)
{
Image img = new Image();
img.Source = CaptureScreen(visualList[i], 96, 96);
img.Margin = new Thickness { Top = 2 };
usingWorkaround.Children.Add(img);
}
private static RenderTargetBitmap CaptureScreen(Visual target, double dpiX, double dpiY)
{
if (target == null)
{
return null;
}
Rect bounds = VisualTreeHelper.GetDescendantBounds(target);
//RenderTargetBitmap rtb = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)(bounds.Width * dpiX / 96.0),
// (int)(bounds.Height * dpiY / 96.0),
// dpiX,
// dpiY,
// PixelFormats.Pbgra32);
RenderTargetBitmap rtb = new RenderTargetBitmap(596,596,dpiX,
dpiY,
PixelFormats.Pbgra32);
DrawingVisual dv = new DrawingVisual();
using (DrawingContext ctx = dv.RenderOpen())
{
VisualBrush vb = new VisualBrush(target);
ctx.DrawRectangle(vb, null, new Rect(new Point(), bounds.Size));
}
rtb.Render(dv);
return rtb;
}
