            new PixelShader() { UriSource = MakePackUri("ThresholdEffect.fx.ps") };

        public ThresholdEffect()

        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty ThresholdProperty =

        #region BlankColor dependency property

        public Color BlankColor

        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty BlankColorProperty =

The following code example shows a shader that corresponds to the previous ShaderEffect class.

// Threshold shader 

// Object Declarations

sampler2D implicitInput : register(s0);
float threshold : register(c0);
float4 blankColor : register(c1);

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Pixel Shader
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
float4 main(float2 uv : TEXCOORD) : COLOR
{
    float4 color = tex2D(implicitInput, uv);
    float intensity = (color.r + color.g + color.b) / 3;
    
    float4 result;
    if (intensity > threshold)
    {
        result = color;
    }
    else
    {
        result = blankColor;
    }
    
    return result;
}

The following XAML shows how to use the custom shader effect.

Remarks

Derive from the ShaderEffect class to implement a custom effect based on a single pixel shader.

The following steps show how to create a custom effect.

Load a PixelShader from precompiled High Level Shading Language (HLSL) bytecode.
Define dependency properties that represent the parameters of the effect and the Brush-based surface inputs. Use one of the RegisterPixelShaderSamplerProperty overloads to associate these inputs with register numbers that are referenced in the HLSL bytecode.

The number of samplers is limited to 4.

The following restrictions apply when using a PS 3.0 shader.

When a PS 3.0 shader is assigned, the number of samplers increases to 8. Assign the PS 3.0 shader before other shaders to enable registering 8 samplers.
The full shader constant register limit of 224 for floats is used. For more information, see ps_3_0.
The following data types are supported in PS 3.0 shaders only. An exception is thrown if these are used in lower shader versions.
- int and types convertible to int: uint, byte, sbyte, long, ulong, short, ushort, char
- bool
If a valid PS 3.0 shader is loaded on a computer that does not have hardware support for PS 3.0, the shader is ignored. If the shader is invalid, no exception is thrown.
If a computer has more than one video card, the behavior is defined by the least capable video card. For example, if the computer has two video cards, one of which supports PS 3.0 and one of which does not, the behavior is the same as if the computer does not support PS 3.0.
If a computer supports rendering PS 3.0 in hardware, but an invalid PS 3.0 shader is assigned, the InvalidPixelShaderEncountered event is raised. An example of an invalid PS 3.0 shader is one compiled with the ps_3_sw flag. The ShaderEffect class accepts only PS 3.0 shaders that are compiled with the ps_3_0 flag passed to fxc.exe. For more information, see Effect-Compiler Tool.

Note

PS 2.0 shaders run when rendering in software. However, even if PS 3.0 is supported by the system's hardware, PS 3.0 shaders do not run during software rendering.

Methods

ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty, AnimationClock, HandoffBehavior)	Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty, AnimationClock)	Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline, HandoffBehavior)	Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty, AnimationTimeline)	Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable)
CheckAccess()	Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject)
ClearValue(DependencyProperty)	Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ClearValue(DependencyPropertyKey)	Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Clone()	Creates a modifiable clone of this ShaderEffect object, making deep copies of this object's values. When copying this object's dependency properties, this method copies resource references and data bindings (which may no longer resolve), but not animations or their current values.
CloneCore(Freezable)	Makes the instance a clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values.
CloneCurrentValue()	Creates a modifiable clone of this ShaderEffect object, making deep copies of this object's current values. Resource references, data bindings, and animations are not copied, but their current values are copied.
CloneCurrentValueCore(Freezable)	Makes the instance a modifiable clone (deep copy) of the specified Freezable using current property values.
CoerceValue(DependencyProperty)	Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
CreateInstance()	Initializes a new instance of the Freezable class. (Inherited from Freezable)
CreateInstanceCore()	Creates a new instance of the Freezable derived class.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Freeze()	Makes the current object unmodifiable and sets its IsFrozen property to `true`. (Inherited from Freezable)
FreezeCore(Boolean)	Makes this Animatable object unmodifiable or determines whether it can be made unmodifiable. (Inherited from Animatable)
GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the non-animated value of the specified DependencyProperty. (Inherited from Animatable)
GetAsFrozen()	Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable, using base (non-animated) property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference. (Inherited from Freezable)
GetAsFrozenCore(Freezable)	Makes the instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable using base (non-animated) property values.
GetCurrentValueAsFrozen()	Creates a frozen copy of the Freezable using current property values. Because the copy is frozen, any frozen sub-objects are copied by reference. (Inherited from Freezable)
GetCurrentValueAsFrozenCore(Freezable)	Makes the current instance a frozen clone of the specified Freezable. If the object has animated dependency properties, their current animated values are copied.
GetHashCode()	Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetLocalValueEnumerator()	Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
GetValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
InvalidateProperty(DependencyProperty)	Re-evaluates the effective value for the specified dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)

PixelShaderSamplerCallback(Int32, SamplingMode)	Associates a dependency property value with a pixel shader's sampler register and a SamplingMode.
PixelShaderSamplerCallback(Int32)	Associates a dependency property value with a pixel shader's sampler register.
ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ReadPreamble()	Ensures that the Freezable is being accessed from a valid thread. Inheritors of Freezable must call this method at the beginning of any API that reads data members that are not dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable)
RegisterPixelShaderSamplerProperty(String, Type, Int32, SamplingMode)	Associates a dependency property with a shader sampler register and a SamplingMode.

VerifyAccess()	Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject. (Inherited from DispatcherObject)
WritePostscript()	Raises the Changed event for the Freezable and invokes its OnChanged() method. Classes that derive from Freezable should call this method at the end of any API that modifies class members that are not stored as dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable)
WritePreamble()	Verifies that the Freezable is not frozen and that it is being accessed from a valid threading context. Freezable inheritors should call this method at the beginning of any API that writes to data members that are not dependency properties. (Inherited from Freezable)
