Issue
This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by Junaid Pathan
I want to set a control as a property in XAML.
I have a custom Control BlurredImage that sends another control (XAML view or Visual Element) as the Root for generating blurred background for the current Image. I have implemented custom control.
Here’s my custom control:
public class BlurredImage : Image
{
public static readonly BindableProperty RootProperty = BindableProperty.Create(nameof(Root), typeof(VisualElement), typeof(BlurredImage), propertyChanged: RootPropertyChanged);
public VisualElement Root { get => (VisualElement)GetValue(RootProperty); set => SetValue(RootProperty, value); }
static void RootPropertyChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
{
var control = (BlurredImage)bindable;
Task.Run(async () =>
{
var imageStream = await DependencyService.Get<IVisualElementExtension>().PlatformCaptureImageAsync(control.Root, Color.Red);
control.Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => imageStream);
});
}
}
The RootPropertyChanged()
is added here for reference, it works properly when capturing image of a UI by a button click, it only has problem when I specify Root="{Binding someView, Source={x:Reference this}}"
Here is my XAML code when I am creating BlurredImage in my XAML Page:
<ext:BlurredImage Root="{Binding ssView, Source={x:Reference this}}" HeightRequest="200" WidthRequest="200" />
Am I doing everything correctly? How can I pass a control as a property value from XAML?
