I'd like the Margin
property to reference the center of the UIElement
and not the top-left corner. That way when I change the width/height of the UIElement
it stays in the same spot.
Is there a way to configure this behavior or I'll have to rely on Binding to make the adjustment ?
Thanks.
For instance if I change the Width/Height
of the following rectangle, its center will move.
<Grid>
<Rectangle Fill="#FF991C1C" Width="10" Height="40" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="90,161,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Grid>
For an obscure reason I couldn't figure out that the Rectangle Alignment should be Center if I wanted the Margin to be relative to the center. This code make my Rectangle behaves like I wanted.
<Grid>
<Rectangle Fill="#FF991C1C" Width="10" Height="40" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="90,161,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
