GetSurfaces Method

Gets a value representing the surfaces that are supported by the Cardflow 3D view.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

public static CardflowView3DSurfaces GetSurfaces( 
   DependencyObject obj
)

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function GetSurfaces( _
   ByVal obj As DependencyObject _
) As CardflowView3DSurfaces

'Usage
 
Dim obj As DependencyObject
Dim value As CardflowView3DSurfaces
 
value = CardflowView3D.GetSurfaces(obj)

Parameters

obj: The dependency object from which the property value is read.

Return Value

A CardflowView3DSurfaces value representing the surfaces that are supported by the Cardflow 3D view.

Remarks

A multi-surface theme defines the default surface configurations that will be applied to all surfaces provided by a multi-surface view (see DefaultSurfaceConfigurations property). These default configurations can be overridden by adding surface configurations to the theme's SurfaceConfigurations collection and specifying the surfaces to which they will be applied using the multi-surface view's Surfaces attached property (see Examples 1 and 3).

If a surface configuration is added to the SurfaceConfigurations collection but does not specify the surfaces to which it should be applied, it will be ignored. If more than one configuration specifies the same surface, the last one on which the Surfaces attached property was set will be used.

Example

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Employees table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.

The following example demonstrates how to provide an image and title surface configuration that will be applied to the center surface and a title surface configuration that will be applied to the left and right side cards.

XAML

  <Grid.Resources>
     <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_employees"
                              Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current}, Path=EmployeesTable}"/>

                   <!-- Because an attempt is made to automatically detect an image in the data
                        item, there is no need to specify the name of the field that contains
                        the image in the surface configuration's ImageRegionConfiguration.
                       
                        If a data item contains more than one image you can set the FieldNames
                        property of the ImageRegionConfiguration to the name of the field that
                        contains the desired image. -->
                   <xcdg:ImageAndTitleSurfaceConfiguration xcdg:CardflowView3D.Surfaces="Center"/>
