TextDecoration(TextDecorationLocation, Pen, Double, TextDecorationUnit, TextDecorationUnit)

Initializes a new instance of the TextDecoration class with the specified Location, Pen, PenOffset, PenOffsetUnit, and PenThicknessUnit values.

public:
 TextDecoration(System::Windows::TextDecorationLocation location, System::Windows::Media::Pen ^ pen, double penOffset, System::Windows::TextDecorationUnit penOffsetUnit, System::Windows::TextDecorationUnit penThicknessUnit);

public TextDecoration (System.Windows.TextDecorationLocation location, System.Windows.Media.Pen pen, double penOffset, System.Windows.TextDecorationUnit penOffsetUnit, System.Windows.TextDecorationUnit penThicknessUnit);

new System.Windows.TextDecoration : System.Windows.TextDecorationLocation * System.Windows.Media.Pen * double * System.Windows.TextDecorationUnit * System.Windows.TextDecorationUnit -> System.Windows.TextDecoration

Public Sub New (location As TextDecorationLocation, pen As Pen, penOffset As Double, penOffsetUnit As TextDecorationUnit, penThicknessUnit As TextDecorationUnit)

Parameters

location

TextDecorationLocation

The location of the text decoration.

pen

Pen

The Pen used to draw the text decoration. If this value is null, the text decoration color matches the text color to which it is applied, and the text decoration's thickness is set to the font's recommended thickness.

penOffset

Double

The vertical displacement from the text decoration's location. A negative value moves the decoration lower, while a positive value moves the decoration higher.

penOffsetUnit

TextDecorationUnit

The units used to interpret the value of penOffset.

penThicknessUnit

TextDecorationUnit

The units used to interpret the value of the Thickness for the pen.

Examples

The following code example shows how to create a TextDecoration by using the location, pen, penOffset, penOffsetUnit, and penThicknessUnit parameters.

// Use a Maroon pen for the baseline text decoration.
private void SetMaroonBaseline()
{
    // Create an baseline text decoration 2 units lower than the default.
    TextDecoration myBaseline = new TextDecoration(
            TextDecorationLocation.Baseline,
            new Pen(Brushes.Maroon, 1),
            2.0,
            TextDecorationUnit.Pixel,
            TextDecorationUnit.Pixel);

    // Set the baseline decoration to a TextDecorationCollection and add it to the text block.
    TextDecorationCollection myCollection = new TextDecorationCollection();
    myCollection.Add(myBaseline);
    TextBlock2.TextDecorations = myCollection;
}

' Use a Maroon pen for the baseline text decoration.
Private Sub SetMaroonBaseline()
    ' Create an baseline text decoration 2 units lower than the default.
    Dim myBaseline As New TextDecoration(TextDecorationLocation.Baseline, New Pen(Brushes.Maroon, 1), 2.0, TextDecorationUnit.Pixel, TextDecorationUnit.Pixel)

    ' Set the baseline decoration to a TextDecorationCollection and add it to the text block.
    Dim myCollection As New TextDecorationCollection()
    myCollection.Add(myBaseline)
    TextBlock2.TextDecorations = myCollection
End Sub
