Creating an XAML Text Object

There may be some instances where you want a text object to change color, size, or content using XAML input. To do this, you must first configure the text object to work with XAML.

ClosedTo configure a text object to accept XAML output

  1. Select the icon on the object toolbar. Alternatively, select Text from the Create menu.

  2. Under Markup Language Containers, select XAML.

  3. Click at the desired location on the template to add the text object.

  4. Double-click on the text object to open the Text Properties dialog. Alternatively, select Properties from the object's context menu.

  5. In the navigation pane, select Markup Language from the list of available property pages.

  6. Under Markup Language, verify that Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) is selected.

  7. In the navigation pane, select the data source that will contain the XAML code.

  8. Input the desired XAML into the Embedded Data field. Alternatively, you can modify the source to automatically import XAML from another data source, such as a database or VBScript.
