WPF rotate canvas

I'm working in a WPF windows application and am wondering if it's possible
to rotate a Canvas or user control derived from Canvas. I created a user
control which derives from Canvas and I need to rotate it 90, 180, and 270
degrees. Is this possible and if so, how would I do it? The use control
lives in a main canvas.

Thanks.

Is such Xaml suitable your requirement?
<Canvas Width="200" Height="200" Background="Yel low">
<Canvas.RenderT ransform>
<RotateTransfor m CenterX="100" CenterY="100" Angle="60" />
</Canvas.RenderTr ansform>
<Button Canvas.Left="50 " Canvas.Top="50" >button1</Button>
</Canvas>

Thanks. this works good, but I need to do it all from c#. Can you show an
example of this from the button click event? I see plenty of xaml examples
online, but no c# examples of working with RotateTransform .

Thanks again.

I found the answer:

void ButtonClick(obj ect sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
canv1.RenderTra nsform = new RotateTransform (90,100,100);
}

Hi, I'm trying to put an Tkinter.Entry of fixed size onto a specific location on a canvas using the place manager. The idea is that one can double-click a rectangle object on a canvas to get an entry field of the same size as the rectangle placed exactly over the rectangle thus creating the effect that the rectangle has entered "input mode". When clicking return in the entry field, the value is fed back to a text object within the...

I have a wpf project where I use a canvas to drag shapes around. when I drag a shape beyond the right or bottom side I get scrollbars which is good.

I need the behavior similar to Visio where you can drag an object past the left or top and you will...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
