BubbleControl

class.NET 6 / 8 / 10.NET Framework 4.8Binarymission.WPF.Controls.CommandVisuals

A WPF custom control that can be used to provide an exotic visual action response indicator/cue for any user action on the application user-interface, just like what we see in other popular mobile OSs like Android, etc.

public class BubbleControl : ContentControl

Inherits from / implements: ContentControl

Remarks

You can use this control to host any other .NET UI element in it, and be able to provide visual feedback to any user action on it (mouse click, etc.), by letting the control render a animated wave / bubble-like UI visual as feedback.

We have all seen this kind of feature in various Presentation/screen-casting software where, when you click on a element on the screen, we get the visual feedback of where we had clicked, by the software rendering a circular swirls at the point of mouse-clicks.

Well! Now with our ExoticBubble .NET control, you too can have that feature (and much, much more) in your very own WPF applications.

Properties

BubbleChildLayerBrush

public Brush BubbleChildLayerBrush

Gets or sets the bubble child layer brush.

BubbleExpansionFactor

public double BubbleExpansionFactor

Gets or sets the bubble expansion factor.

A value of 0 completely hides the bubble rendring. A higher value (in increments of 0.1, for example) starts to grow the rendering size of the bubble.

BubbleInnerLayerBrush

public Brush BubbleInnerLayerBrush

Gets or sets the bubble inner layer brush.

BubbleInvocationEvents

public ObservableCollection<RoutedEvent> BubbleInvocationEvents

Gets or sets the bubble invocation events.

With this property, you can add all desired routed events to which this bubble control instance should respond and activate itself.
For example, you can add the MouseRightButtonUpEvent to be used for invoking the ExoticBubble control's features.
Remember, the ExoticBubble control already provides (by default) invoking its services for the MouseLeftButtonDownEvent RoutedEvent. By setting additional routed-events (like MouseRightButtonUpEvent), we get the bubble control invoked in both these situations.

BubbleOuterLayerBrush

public Brush BubbleOuterLayerBrush

Gets or sets the bubble outer layer brush.

ShouldRunOnTop

public bool ShouldRunOnTop

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the bubble should run on top of the clicked content area (over the content area), or should it show the clicked content and show the bubble aspect underneath the clicked content.

Methods
