MetadataControl
The MetadataControl control displays a list of labels and hyper-links separated by a bullet. It also generates an accessible string representing its content.
The bullet separator can be customized using the Separator
property.
AccessibleSeparator
is used as a replacement for Separator
to generate the accessible string.
The control needs a list of MediadataItem.
Each item will be displayed either as a text or as an hyper-link (if the Command
property is set).
The default control template is using on a TextBlock
. The style of this TextBlock
can be customized using the TextBlockStyle
property.

metadataControl.Items = new[]
{
new MetadataItem { Label = "Hello" },
new MetadataItem { Label = "World", Command = myCommand },
