Gets the number of children for the ContainerVisual.

protected:
 property int VisualChildrenCount { int get(); };

protected override sealed int VisualChildrenCount { get; }

member this.VisualChildrenCount : int

Protected Overrides NotOverridable ReadOnly Property VisualChildrenCount As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The number of children in the VisualCollection of the ContainerVisual.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a ContainerVisual object that is used as the parent for two DrawingVisual objects. Objects that are added to the ContainerVisual object must be added in reverse z-order (bottom to top) to ensure they are rendering in the correct drawing order. In order for the visual tree to be enumerated correctly, the example provides overridden implementations of the GetVisualChild method and VisualChildrenCount property.

// Create a host visual derived from the FrameworkElement class.
// This class provides layout, event handling, and container support for
// the child visual objects.
public class MyContainerVisualHost : FrameworkElement
{
    private ContainerVisual _containerVisual;

    public MyContainerVisualHost(DrawingVisual border, DrawingVisual text)
    {
        // Create a ContainerVisual to hold DrawingVisual children.
        _containerVisual = new ContainerVisual();

        // Add children to ContainerVisual in reverse z-order (bottom to top).
        _containerVisual.Children.Add(border);
        _containerVisual.Children.Add(text);

        // Create parent-child relationship with host visual and ContainerVisual.
        this.AddVisualChild(_containerVisual);
    }

    // Provide a required override for the VisualChildrenCount property.
    protected override int VisualChildrenCount
    {
        get { return _containerVisual == null ? 0 : 1; }
    }

    // Provide a required override for the GetVisualChild method.
    protected override Visual GetVisualChild(int index)
    {
        if (_containerVisual == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException();
        }

        return _containerVisual;
    }
}

' Create a host visual derived from the FrameworkElement class.
' This class provides layout, event handling, and container support for
' the child visual objects.
Public Class MyContainerVisualHost
    Inherits FrameworkElement
    Private _containerVisual As ContainerVisual

    Public Sub New(ByVal border As DrawingVisual, ByVal text As DrawingVisual)
        ' Create a ContainerVisual to hold DrawingVisual children.
        _containerVisual = New ContainerVisual()

        ' Add children to ContainerVisual in reverse z-order (bottom to top).
        _containerVisual.Children.Add(border)
        _containerVisual.Children.Add(text)

        ' Create parent-child relationship with host visual and ContainerVisual.
        Me.AddVisualChild(_containerVisual)
    End Sub

    ' Provide a required override for the VisualChildrenCount property.
    Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property VisualChildrenCount() As Integer
        Get
            Return If(_containerVisual Is Nothing, 0, 1)
        End Get
    End Property

    ' Provide a required override for the GetVisualChild method.
    Protected Overrides Function GetVisualChild(ByVal index As Integer) As Visual
        If _containerVisual Is Nothing Then
            Throw New ArgumentOutOfRangeException()
        End If

        Return _containerVisual
    End Function
End Class

Remarks

By default, a ContainerVisual does not have any children.

Notes to Inheritors

Classes that derive from ContainerVisual must implement the VisualChildrenCount property to enumerate the visual children. The derived property must return the number of children for the ContainerVisual.

The visual tree cannot be modified during this call.
