Question[WP8.1] How to scale a background image of a button? Pin
Dr Miroslav Stimac6-Nov-15 10:02

Hello,

I am developing an app for Windows Phone 8.1 by using XALM and C# within a Windows Universal Project.
My problem is that the background images of the buttons do not correctly scale.

I want to use an image as the background of a button and the image should always scale to maximum size of the button, but keep the correct ratio (a circle shall always look like a circle and not like an ellipse!).

I tried this:
XML
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
          <RowDefinition Height="17.3*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="4.2*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="1*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="6.025*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="4.95*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="6.025*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="6.5*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="1*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="6.5*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="30*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="8*" />
          <RowDefinition Height="8.5*" />
      </Grid.RowDefinitions>
      <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
          <ColumnDefinition Width="12*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="9.5*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="16.5*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="15*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="16.5*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="9.5*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="1.0*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="10.0*" />
          <ColumnDefinition Width="1.0*" />
      </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>


      <TextBox x:Name="textBox1" Grid.Row="8" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" TextAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" BorderThickness="0" />


      <Button x:Name="buttonMeasurement" Grid.Row="9" Grid.Column="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Content="" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" BorderThickness="0" Click="buttonMeasurement_Click" >
          <Button.Background>
              <ImageBrush ImageSource="Images/Screen3/START.png" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
          </Button.Background>
      </Button>


But the background image of the button is cut at the top and the bottom!
It seems that there is not enough vertical space (height) for the image.

If I use
XML
<ImageBrush ImageSource="Images/Screen3/START.png" Stretch="Uniform"/>

instead of
XML
<ImageBrush ImageSource="Images/Screen3/START.png" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>

then the image is not cut and looks OK, but only on 16:9 devices such as Lumia 640 XL.
On 15:9 devices auch as Lumia 520 there is a distortion: a circle looks like an elipse!
The image is not correctly scaled: the aspect ratio is not perserved!

What did I wrong?

Thanks for any hints!

Best wishes,

Miroslav
