Labels Property (AnnContainer)

Gets the collection of labels to render on top of this AnnContainer.

Syntax

WinRT C#
WinRT JavaScript

public Windows.Foundation.Collections.IVector //In WinRT the IList interface is replaced by IVector<AnnLabel> Labels {get;}

 get_Labels();

Property Value

A collection of AnnLabels to render on top of this AnnContainer.

Remarks

The labels will be rendered using the global AnnRenderingEngine.ContainerLabelRenderer object. This object is automatically created by the annotation framework and can be usable right away.

The container labels can be used to place text items on top of the container that are not part of the annotations objects. For example, to place legends in a mapping application.

Example

Visual Basic
C#
WinRT C#
WinRT JavaScript
Silverlight C#
Silverlight VB

[TestMethod]
public void AnnContainer_Labels()
{
   // Get the container for this automation
   AnnContainer container = _automation.Container;
   double inch = 720.0;

   // Create a couple of labels
   AnnLabel label = new AnnLabel();
   label.IsVisible = true;
   label.OriginalPosition = LeadPointDHelper.Create(1 * inch, 1 * inch);
   label.Foreground = AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("Red");
   label.Background = AnnSolidColorBrush.Create("rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)");
   label.Text = "Red Label";
   container.Labels.Add(label);

   label = new AnnLabel();
   label.IsVisible = true;
