Draw a cross in WPF
.net, wpf, wpf-controls
Solution
Quick and dirty way is to use lines and bind their coordinates to the width and height of some parent container. Something like this:
<Grid Name="parent">
<Line X1="0" Y1="0" X2="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualWidth'}" Y2="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualHeight'}"
Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" />
<Line X1="0" Y1="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualHeight'}" X2="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualWidth'}" Y2="0" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" />
</Grid>
Using a grid as the parent means any other children added to the grid after the lines will appear on top of the lines:
<Grid Name="parent">
<Line X1="0" Y1="0" X2="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualWidth'}" Y2="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualHeight'}"
Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" />
<Line X1="0" Y1="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualHeight'}" X2="{Binding ElementName='parent', Path='ActualWidth'}" Y2="0" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" />
<Label Background="Red" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">My Label</Label>
</Grid>
Problem
I have a WPF Control. I need to have in background a cross, like this: After that, I'd be able to add other controls over my "crossed" background: How should I draw the cross, knowing that when I rezize the control, the cross should follow its size?
