how to add shapes to canvas

  In my previous post, I used that to fill the Rectangle:
  
  r.Fill = Brushes.Black;
  
  So it could be easy to modify a little the code to use a different color or to change some values (width, height, etc...)

  Take a look at the examples of the SDK: they are a lot of them that will help you.
  Check also the hands of labs

  Try this:
  
  XAML:
  <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  xmlns:m="clr-namespace:TestWPF"
  x:Class="Window1"
  xmlns:IcoToImageConverter="clr-namespace:TestWPF"
  Name="MainWindow"
  MouseDoubleClick="MyMouseDoubleClickEvent"
  >
  <Canvas>
  <Button Name="m_TestButton" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
  
  <Canvas Name="TestCanvas" />
  </Canvas>
  </Window>
  
  C#:
  public void MyMouseDoubleClickEvent(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
  {
  // Get mouse position
  Point p = System.Windows.Input.Mouse.GetPosition(MainWindow);
  
  // Initialize a new Rectangle
  Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
  
  // Set up rectangle's size
  r.Width = 500;
  r.Height = 500;
  
  // Set up the Background color
  r.Fill = Brushes.Black;
  
  // Set up the position in the window, at mouse coordonate
  Canvas.SetTop(r, p.Y);
  Canvas.SetLeft(r, p.X);
  
  // Add rectangle to the Canvas
  TestCanvas.Children.Add(r);
  }
  
  
  Now, each time you will double clic on the Window, a black rectangle will appear at the mouse at the mouse cursor position :)
  
  
  HTH.

  I think you will need to modify the ControlTemplate for the Shape
  
  
  

• rod_r

  You can named the Shape so you might be able to reffer to a particular Shape by using its name.

  Thanx for ur reply but a small doubt regarding to zoom in and zoom out is it possible to apply zoom (or any thing like change background color or change height or width like that) properities to a particular shape(circle or rectangle)

  Thanx - Nagu
