Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the GetLayoutSlot method to translate the bounding box of a FrameworkElement into a GeometryDrawing.

private void getLayoutSlot1(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
 RectangleGeometry myRectangleGeometry = new RectangleGeometry();
 myRectangleGeometry.Rect = LayoutInformation.GetLayoutSlot(txt1);
 Path myPath = new Path();
 myPath.Data = myRectangleGeometry;
 myPath.Stroke = Brushes.LightGoldenrodYellow;
 myPath.StrokeThickness = 5;
 Grid.SetColumn(myPath, 0);
 Grid.SetRow(myPath, 0);
 myGrid.Children.Add(myPath);
 txt2.Text = "LayoutSlot is equal to " + LayoutInformation.GetLayoutSlot(txt1).ToString();
}

Private Sub getLayoutSlot1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
 Dim myRectangleGeometry As New RectangleGeometry
 myRectangleGeometry.Rect = LayoutInformation.GetLayoutSlot(txt1)
 Dim myPath As New Path
 myPath.Data = myRectangleGeometry
 myPath.Stroke = Brushes.LightGoldenrodYellow
 myPath.StrokeThickness = 5
 Grid.SetColumn(myPath, 0)
 Grid.SetRow(myPath, 0)
 myGrid.Children.Add(myPath)
 txt2.Text = "LayoutSlot is equal to " + LayoutInformation.GetLayoutSlot(txt1).ToString()
End Sub
