Hi,
I'm interesting in obtaining a "frame effect" of a canvas. I'm using the Clip property with a RectangleGeometry, but setting it cuts the canvas around the geometry. I want to obtain a canvas with a "hole" in it, the "hole" being the RectangleGeometry I've set.
Thanks

You don't have to do anything for that. If you make your Canvas transparent and lay it on top of the other layers, all other layers will show thru and you have your frame.

Thanks. I finally got to an end to this using GeometryGroup. It draws a white canvas with a "hole" in it.
<Canvas Width="554" Height="296" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0" Background="White"> <Canvas.Clip> <GeometryGroup> <RectangleGeometry x:Name="OutterBorder" Rect="0,0,554,296"/> <RectangleGeometry x:Name="InnerBorder" Rect="0,0,554,296"/> </GeometryGroup> </Canvas.Clip> </Canvas>
