Hello,

Is there any simple way to add a Position transform to an element? Specifically, I am intrested in a RotateTransform

E.g.:

before:
|
x
|
a

after 180 degree rotate transform performed on letter 'a' with a center at point x:
a
|
x
|

NOT:
(rotated 'a')
|
x
|

Got it?

Thanks in advance,

Greetings - Jacek

How about this:

XML

<Window x:Class="Transform.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <Label Content="A" Height="48" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="134,124,0,0" Name="label1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="41" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="32">
            <Label.RenderTransform>
                <RotateTransform Angle="-45" CenterX="-50" CenterY="-50" />
            </Label.RenderTransform>
        </Label>
    </Grid>
</Window>

This XAML is all that is needed. I have put the letter into a label, but this would also work with any other text and even with other controls.

Edit: You can't use transformations on a letter or a string directly, but you can use the transformation on the controls containing them.
