Control adding badge

[Jacob]

Hello,

I currently new  with the WPF and the  telerik technologies and i was wondering if the Telerik has any badge controls (see the attach file for exemple).

if yes, is it possible to add a image on the side in which the format in a SVG.

 

Thanks

Hello Jacob,

Can you tell me a bit more about this badge control? Do you have any specification what it should do? Can you click it? Is there any special positioning behavior that should support? Any additional description about the control will be useful.

This seems like a simple Border element with an Image and TextBlock inside. If there isn't anything else that is specific for the badge, you can use this approach. For example:

<Border CornerRadius="5">
	<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
		<Image Source="myImage.png" />
		<TextBlock Text="main" />
	</StackPanel>
</Border>

About the SVG part, in general the WPF framework doesn't support SVG rendering, so you cannot show one in the UI. However, since the WPF uses its own vector-based rendering engine, you can use it to show any shape or geometry. For example, you can read the SVG xml and parse it to WPF geometry objects which can be shown in a Path control. We do not have an example showing how to do this, but there is a feature request to introduce such API out of the box with the Telerik UI for WPF suite.

Hi Martin,

No their is any special mechanism (ex: clickagle), it's juste a simple badge that will be place on the top left of image for  mentionning the main/default image

Hello Jacob,

In this case, the most convenient approach that I can think of is the one from my last reply - with the Border and the Image, and TextBlock control.
