378 CHAPTER 16 ■ PROGRAMMING SILVERLIGHT WITH XAML AND JAVASCRIPT You can see how this is rendered in Figure 16-2. Figure 16-2. Using ZIndex to fine-tune your UI Also note that a Canvas may contain another Canvas, and that each Canvas can contain multiple controls, giving you complete creative control over how your UI is laid out. Using Brushes in XAML XAML uses brushes to define how shapes will be drawn and filled. The earlier example showed rectangles that were filled with white and black and outlined in black. These were simple examples of using brushes to set the fill (how a shape is painted) and the stroke (how a shape is outlined). In this case, you filled the rectangles with a solid color, but there are other options. These are as follows: SolidColorBrush: This paints with a solid color. LinearGradientBrush: This paints with a linear gradient defined in two-dimensional space. RadialGradientBrush: This paints with a circular (radial) gradient.
CHAPTER 16 ■ PROGRAMMING SILVERLIGHT WITH XAML AND JAVASCRIPT 379 ImageBrush: This paints using a picture as the brush. VideoBrush: This paints using a video as the brush. These will be discussed in the next few sections. The SolidColorBrush The SolidColorBrush is used to paint with a solid color. This color can be a named value, such as Red or Black, or a hexadecimal value that describes the color intensity in alpha (transparency), red, green, and blue 8-bit values. So, for example, to paint with the color black, you can use either the value Black or #00000000. The LinearGradientBrush This paints with a linear gradient defined in two-dimensional space. A gradient is what you get when you fade from one color to another. So, to define a gradient, you need at least two colors and a direction. When you use more than two colors, you will also need to define stops, which indicate at which point you should change to that color. Colors are defined using either names or hexadecimal values in exactly the same manner as the SolidColorBrush. The direction is defined using a normalized rectangle. This is a virtual rectangle that is 1 unit wide by 1 unit high. Thus, the top left-hand corner of this rectangle is at (0,0) and the bottom right-hand corner is at (1,1). This defines the direction of the gradient as being from the upper left to the lower right. Should you want to change this direction, you simply do it by specifying the coordinates of the start point and endpoint of your gradient direction using the coordinates of this virtual rectangle. These are set using the StartPoint and EndPoint properties of the brush itself. Here’s an example of a rectangle filled in using a LinearGradientBrush, and set to have a start point of (0,0.5) (i.e., halfway down the left side of the rectangle) and an endpoint of (1,0.5) (i.e., halfway down the right side of the rectangle), thus giving the gradient left-to-right horizontal movement.
