FrameworkElement.VisualChildrenCount Property

Definition

Gets the number of visual child elements within this element.

protected:
 virtual property int VisualChildrenCount { int get(); };
protected override int VisualChildrenCount { get; }
member this.VisualChildrenCount : int
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property VisualChildrenCount As Integer

Property Value

The number of visual child elements for this element.

Examples

The following example shows how a custom adorner uses the values declared by a VisualCollection that it maintains for its multiple visual children and reports these values through overrides of VisualChildrenCount and GetVisualChild.

// To store and manage the adorner's visual children.
VisualCollection visualChildren;
' To store and manage the adorner's visual children.
Private visualChildren As VisualCollection
// Override the VisualChildrenCount and GetVisualChild properties to interface with 
// the adorner's visual collection.
protected override int VisualChildrenCount { get { return visualChildren.Count; } }
protected override Visual GetVisualChild(int index) { return visualChildren[index]; }
' Override the VisualChildrenCount and GetVisualChild properties to interface with 
' the adorner's visual collection.
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property VisualChildrenCount() As Integer
    Get
        Return visualChildren.Count
    End Get
End Property
Protected Overrides Function GetVisualChild(ByVal index As Integer) As Visual
    Return visualChildren(index)
End Function

Remarks

The FrameworkElement implementation of VisualChildrenCount always returns either zero or one. Classes that maintain a visual child collection that might exceed one must override both this property and GetVisualChild.

This property is generally used to determine the upper bounds of the current child collection for purposes of implementing the layout overrides (MeasureOverride, ArrangeOverride).

Notes to Inheritors

If your class supports more than one visual child in a child element collection, override this property to return the count of elements in that collection. You must do this even if the collection object itself returns a count. Element layout logic at the WPF framework level presumes that all elements will return a valid count through their VisualChildrenCount property.
