Remarks

The ImageBox class enables you to display a WPF/Silverlight System.Windows.Media.ImageSource or one of its derived classes. To display a LEADTOOLS Leadtools.RasterImage, use the RasterImageBox control.

This control is suitable when you want to display a static image, i.e. an image that does not require scrolling or any other interactive operations in your WPF/Silverlight application. If such interactive operations are required, use the ImageViewer or RasterImageViewer controls.

Until the image content is loaded, the System.Windows.FrameworkElement.ActualWidth and System.Windows.FrameworkElement.ActualHeight of the control will report as zero, because the image content is used to determine the final size and location of the control.

For a fixed size control, the System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Width and/or System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Height properties can be set. However, to preserve the media's aspect ratio, set the System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Width or System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Height properties but not both.

The ImageBox controls supports the following functionality:

Viewing a WPF/Silverlight image using the Source property
Determining how the control displays the image and automatic adjustment for viewing when the control size changes using the SizeMode property
Changing the zoom value used to display the image using the ScaleFactor property
Manual adjustment of extra horizontal and vertical stretching values using the AspectRatioCorrection property
Support for viewing an image using its actual resolution through the UseDpi property
Image viewing transformation using the Flip, Reverse and RotateAngle properties
Using animation to control how the image is displayed with the Transition property
Converting a point or a rectangle between image (logical) and control (display or physical) properties using the PointToImageCoordinates, BoundsToImageCoordinates, PointFromImageCoordinates and BoundsFromImageCoordinates methods
