[WPF C#} Polygon filled with video


Question

Hello gang,

I am in need to make a polygon object that I will with a video. I have this working fine, however the fill of the video using the

<VisualBrush Stretch="UniformToFill">

including "None", "Fill", "Uniform" or "UniformToFill" is not filling the polygon as I would like.

Here is the XAML code for creating the polygon

        <Polygon Name="vlcPolygon" Points="500,300, 500,250, 770,200 770,440" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="4" >
            <Polygon.Fill>;
                <VisualBrush Stretch="UniformToFill">
                    <VisualBrush.Visual>
                        <Image Source="{Binding VideoSource, ElementName=vlcPlayer}" />
                    </VisualBrush.Visual>
                </VisualBrush>
            </Polygon.Fill>;
        </Polygon>

Any thoughts?

Hi James.

Saw your 2011 post while searching for wpf polygon fill video ....
You've probably moved on to other things.
Thought I'd share my experience and ask what your experience was and is.

Are you still working with video for apps/web/games/ just fun?

 

I experimented with it in 2009 (using F# and WPF no XAML) -- 

Create Outside the Box on YouTube ...

Recently trying to get "replay" or "loop"  found this MSDN XAML and hacked .mp4

    • I happen to try it today not knowing about the update and was happily surprised; it is great.
    • Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store.

    • This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.  
    • Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
    • Big fan of EAC Here's a good non-default naming scheme I found on the web (can't take credit) File Name Scheme - %albumartist%\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Various Artists Naming Scheme - Various Artists\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Also, I need test but there is a new flac.exe binary & dll you can drop in the folder to upgrade flac support. I did this pre EAC 1.8. EAC 1.8 did upgrade it to 1.4.3. Flac 1.5.0 came out this year. https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/ I don't know how much of a difference / impact will make.
