Question: Brushes and Colors Implementation Missing ???

[VijayanRamachandran]

Hi,

I am currently doing some prototypes migrating custom controls available in our end from WPF to WinUI.

During prototype I noticed that, in our end there are some WPF custom controls using Brushes and Colors( available in System.Windows.Media ) but equivalent implementation for WinUI is missing.

These implementations will be available soon in near WinUI Preview release ?

I am using right now
VS => Version 16.7.0 Preview 5.0
.Net SDK => dotnet-sdk-5.0.100-preview.4.20268.1-win-x64 / dotnet-sdk-5.0.100-preview.4.20268.1-win-x86

Thanks in advance.

The equivalent does exist in UWP. However, the namespace was moved to Windows.UI.Colors in UWP and again to Microsoft.UI.Colors in WinUI.

Also, you might find this useful porting from WPF: https://github.com/robloo/PublicDocs/blob/master/UWPvsWPF.md

I should add while all Colors should be supported, some Brushes are not. Some like VisualBrush are still missing and features like tiling are more difficult #536

@VijayanRamachandran given Robloo's correct response, can you clarify what wpf feature you are missing?

@StephenLPeters @robloo ,

I overlooked about Colors.
Yes i noticed now that Colors is available in Microsoft.UI and i could use that.
I am sorry about that. It was my mistake that i overlooked.

Similar like Colors in Microsoft.UI, i was talking about whether Brushes is also available in WinUI in my initial query.

Thanks.

For brushes you need to use the constructor:

new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red)

In markup you can use all the same values (ex 'red' or '#FF0000'), whether the property is a Brush or Color type.

@MikeHillberg

As you mentioned for brushes i will use the constructor and check it.

Thanks.
