Lying to the layout system for a good cause [Bringing LayoutTransform to Silverlight 2!]

Silverlight 2 LayoutTransformControl

SilverlightのコントロールにはRenderTransformはありますが、LayoutTransformはありません。前者はレイアウトされた後で回転などの座標変換が適用されるので、レイアウトが正しく行われません。後者はレイアウト前に適用されるので、座標変換後のコントロールに対しレイアウトが正しく行われます。

Has this been tested on Beta 2? I don't know enough about how dependency properties and PropertyMetadata to debug this properly. In the LayoutTransformControl.cs file, I'm getting the following:

Error 1 The best overloaded method match for 'System.Windows.DependencyProperty.Register(string, System.Type, System.Type, System.Windows.PropertyMetadata)' has some invalid arguments C:\Software Projects\Samples\SilverlightLayout\LayoutTransformControlSilverlight\LayoutTransformControl.cs 36 69 LayoutTransformControlSilverlight

Error 2 Argument '4': cannot convert from 'System.Windows.PropertyChangedCallback' to 'System.Windows.PropertyMetadata' C:\Software Projects\Samples\SilverlightLayout\LayoutTransformControlSilverlight\LayoutTransformControl.cs 37 80 LayoutTransformControlSilverlight

And then again when it tries to set the AngleProperty dependency.

My apologies. I came to this post from somewhere else, and didn't notice that you'd posted an updated version.

Hey Delay!

This was an amazing post. I've made use of it and have noticed that it broke with RC0. They have made the constructors of Transform internal. Please let us know if you plan to update this yourself.

Otherwise if you post a technical discussion of how LayoutTransformControl works it would make my tracing into the code a little easier.

Either way thanks a bunch for the control it was working like a charm in Beta 2 and I'm sure I'll get it going again for the RC!

coughlinj,

Thank you for the kind words! I'm aware of the breaking changes with RC0 and hope to release an update of LayoutTransformControl very soon. I'd actually begun working on this some time ago, but was blocked by a couple of problems that have since been fixed.

Thanks for your patience!
