Interface IMarkupTextAdapter

Namespace

Icy.Markup

Assembly

IcyUI.dll

Turns the bare text inside an element into a value its content property can actually hold.

public interface IMarkupTextAdapter

Extension Methods

PropertyReferencesExtensions.ContainsProperty(object, IPropertyReference)

Remarks

Markup lets an element carry text directly:

<Button>Click Me</Button>

Content is a UIElement, not a string, so the text can't simply be converted - something has to decide what element represents it. That's what an adapter does; the built-in UIElementTextAdapter wraps the text in a TextBlock.

Adapters are consulted only when the content property's type is not assignable from string, and only in TextAdapters order, first match winning - so a registration added later can take precedence over the built-in one by being inserted ahead of it.

Methods

Adapt(string, Type)

Produces the value to assign to a content property of targetType for text.
