I want a frame with a dashed border (as shown in the image). I am looking for UWP Renderer if anyone has any suggestions on that please share them with me. I am stuck with this.
Custom Renderer for Dashed Border of frame in UWP Xamarin
Current there is not such Dashed Border of frame in UWP Xamarin, but you can make it with Rectangle
and set available StrokeDashArray
to implement it and then use ViewRenderer
to render it within Xamarin. We will share DashedBorderRenderer
below, for the complete control please refer code sample here.
public class DashedBorderRenderer : ViewRenderer<DashedBorder, DottedBorder>
{
DottedBorder _dottedBorder;
FrameworkElement _navtiveContent;
double defaultPadding = 2;
bool isOpened;
public DashedBorderRenderer()
{
}
protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<DashedBorder> e)
{
base.OnElementChanged(e);
if (e.OldElement != null)
{
_navtiveContent.Loaded -= Native_Loaded;
_navtiveContent.SizeChanged -= Native_SizeChanged;
}
if (e.NewElement != null)
{
if (Control != null)
{
var stroke = Element.DashedStroke == 0 ? Element.DashedStroke : 2.0;
var borderColor = Element.BorderColor.ToWindowsColor() == null ? Element.BorderColor.ToWindowsColor() : Colors.Red;
Control.DashedStroke = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.DoubleCollection() { stroke };
Control.StrokeBrush = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.SolidColorBrush(borderColor);
}
else
{
_dottedBorder = new DottedBorder();
_navtiveContent = Element.Content.GetOrCreateRenderer().GetNativeElement() as FrameworkElement;
_navtiveContent.Loaded += Native_Loaded;
_navtiveContent.SizeChanged += Native_SizeChanged;
var stroke = Element.DashedStroke == 0 ? 2.0 : Element.DashedStroke;
var borderColor = Element.BorderColor.ToWindowsColor() == null ? Element.BorderColor.ToWindowsColor() : Colors.Red;
_dottedBorder.DashedStroke = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.DoubleCollection() { stroke };
_dottedBorder.StrokeBrush = new Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.SolidColorBrush(borderColor);
SetNativeControl(_dottedBorder);
}
}
}
private void Native_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
{
UpdateSize(sender);
}
private void Native_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
UpdateSize(sender);
}
private void UpdateSize(object sender)
{
var content = sender as FrameworkElement;
if (content is Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Image)

if (!isOpened)
{
(content as Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Image).ImageOpened += (s, e) =>
{
isOpened = true;
var image = sender as Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Image;
_dottedBorder.Height = image.ActualHeight + defaultPadding;
_dottedBorder.Width = image.ActualWidth + defaultPadding;
};
}
else
{
_dottedBorder.Height = content.ActualHeight + defaultPadding;
_dottedBorder.Width = content.ActualWidth + defaultPadding;

_dottedBorder.Height = content.ActualHeight+defaultPadding;
