It works, but the contextMenu is only triggers when you click on the outline or the path... How can I make the background clickable too? => resolve
I'd also like to be able to change the background color inside the shape...
I'd like to keep what's circled in green as a transparent background.
Thanks in advance
If you want your path to be scalable, then it needs to be placed within a fixed sized container, otherwise it will try to grab as much screen space as it can.
To make an object clickable, the background needs to be set to something other than the default null value. To keep the same as the parent background, use Transparent.
There's no need to use a ViewBox control for this layout.
