XAML Floater
This article shows how to use XAML Floater element to create floaters and add them to the contents of a WPF document.
A floater is a portion of flow content with placement properties that can be customized independently from the primary content flow within a FlowDocument. A floater has following attributes.
A floater cannot be positioned.
You cannot set the offset or anchor on a floater.
A floater cannot be sized to more than one column. If the size of a floater does not fit in a column, the outside area will not be visible.
You cannot set height of a floater.
If contents of a floater do not fit in a given width, it paginates. It may paginate to next column, next page and so on.
Floater element in XAML is used to create floater to a FlowDocument. The following code snippet creates a floater.
<Floater> Blocks </ Floater >
A Floater has only two properties â€" HorizontalAlignment and Width. The following code snippet sets these properties.
<Floater Name="MCFloater" Background="GhostWhite" ]
Width="300" HorizontalAlignment="Left" >
</ Floater >
