Convert DXBrush to Brush

[pjsmith]

We have one way conversion of a brush to a DXBrush via .ToDXBrush(), but if you have a DXBrush, is there a way to return the wpf brush for use in OnBarUpdate, etc? Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

I'm not aware of a way to convert a SharpDX.Brush to a System.Windows.Media.Brush, however there shouldn't be any need to.

Brushes should be defined as System.Windows.Media.Brush and used in OnBarUpdate() and then this should be converted to a SharpDX.Brush for use in OnRender().

OK, thank you. My reason for asking is that I already have a cache collection of DXBrushes with different opacities calculated for use in OnRender. It would have been easier to convert these than create new Brushes for the sole purpose of use inside OnbarUpdate.

Hello pjsmith,

I would recommend instantiating these as Media Brushes with the calculated opacity first and then converting these to SharpDX brushes.
