ISContentControl is one of many available content model that Intersoft ClientUI provides. To learn more about other content model see Content Model Overview.

ISContentControl is a base class for all ClientUI content controls. It is used to host and display common language runtime object (such as a string or a DateTime object) or a UIElement object (such as a Rectangle or a Panel). This enables you to add rich content to controls such as Button and CheckBox.

By default it already has predefined template which able to display common language runtime object in its string representation. If you want to enhance the appearance of the control, you can create a new ContentTemplate. This is commonly used in MVVM or data binding approach where you want to represent the data in more fashionable ways.

Some of the common members implemented in ISContentControl are:

CornerRadius to customize the round corner shape in most Intersoft Content Control when applicable
Routed event for ContentChanged which will be raised when content of ISContentControl is changed.

The following example demonstrates how to create three GlassLabel controls with Content set to one of the following:

A string
A UIElement
A Panel that contains other UIElement objects.

XAML	Copy Code
<Intersoft:GlassLabel Content="String Value" Margin="4"/> <Intersoft:GlassLabel Margin="4"> <TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox"/> </Intersoft:GlassLabel> <Intersoft:GlassLabel Margin="4"> <StackPanel> <Ellipse Fill="WHITE" Height="48" Stroke="Black" Width="48" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/> <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBlock" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/> </StackPanel> </Intersoft:GlassLabel>

XAML

Copy Code

<Intersoft:GlassLabel Content="String Value" Margin="4"/>             
<Intersoft:GlassLabel Margin="4">
    <TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox"/>
</Intersoft:GlassLabel>
<Intersoft:GlassLabel Margin="4">
    <StackPanel>
        <Ellipse Fill="WHITE" Height="48" Stroke="Black" Width="48" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
        <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBlock" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
    </StackPanel>
</Intersoft:GlassLabel>

The following figure shows three GlassLabel controls created in the previous example.
