The Drawing object provide an object model for enumerating the contents of a Visual.
Example
The following example uses the GetDrawing method to retrieve the DrawingGroup value of a Visual and enumerate it.
Note
When you are enumerating the contents of the visual, you are retrieving Drawing objects, and not the underlying representation of the render data as a vector graphics instruction list. For more information, see Windows Presentation Foundation Graphics Rendering Overview.
public void RetrieveDrawing(Visual v)
{
DrawingGroup dGroup = VisualTreeHelper.GetDrawing(v);
EnumDrawingGroup(dGroup);
}
// Enumerate the drawings in the DrawingGroup.
public void EnumDrawingGroup(DrawingGroup drawingGroup)
{
DrawingCollection dc = drawingGroup.Children;
// Enumerate the drawings in the DrawingCollection.
foreach (Drawing drawing in dc)
{
// If the drawing is a DrawingGroup, call the function recursively.
if (drawing.GetType() == typeof(DrawingGroup))
{
EnumDrawingGroup((DrawingGroup)drawing);
}
else if (drawing.GetType() == typeof(GeometryDrawing))
{
// Perform action based on drawing type.
}
else if (drawing.GetType() == typeof(ImageDrawing))
{
// Perform action based on drawing type.
}
else if (drawing.GetType() == typeof(GlyphRunDrawing))
{
// Perform action based on drawing type.
}
else if (drawing.GetType() == typeof(VideoDrawing))
{
// Perform action based on drawing type.
