How do you set a default size of a control that you can resize?
I have been looking at a code sample from Charles Petzold.
It is from here:
http://www.charlespe...ilverlight.html
it uses mouse over methods to increase the size of button classes.
I have it working but I want to make some modifications. I want the starting size of the button to be larger. I do not know how much of the code I need to post here to make the issue clear enough. The XAML for the page describes a "FisheyeButton" that is described in a seperate xaml file. Something like this:
The functionality of the project is such that if I give the Fisheyebutton a width and height a set size at this loction, the effect where the size of the control the effect of becoming larger does not happen. In other words, if I write in the <src:FisheyeButton... tag above Width="100", then the button does not behave at run time as it should.
In the same page.xaml file, the btnStyle is defined like this:
I wonder if perhaps at this point, I can add a "Setter" property to define a default starting widh and height for the class.
