Rounded corners

[Sonderwoods]

Hi all,

I'd like to ask how you create rounded corners best with Eto. Both on a window but also on other objects such as buttons.

I've seen examples in winforms by overriding OnDraw and in WPF by encapsulating objects in a object.

However i haven't managed to do it successfully in Eto(wpf).

In Eto.Styles.Add I can add a thick corner for a button for instance, but I can't see any controls to make the corners round.

Any clues? Thanks in advance.

Changing the style of buttons or other controls require platform-specific code. Some platforms only have limited styling (e.g. macOS only has certain modes but no customization). An alternative is to create your own Drawable-based control and use that to draw whatever you like with its OnPaint() event. If you want to hook it up to Eto's Button class you can create a themed handler that implements everything that the Button requires, similar to other themed controls in Eto.

thanks @cwensley , i was looking for a way to just override the OnPaint in a button for instance, but seems the drawable class is the way to go.

This however isnt compatible with dialog forms for instance that require accept button and cancel buttons etc. Is there planned any way of overriding OnPaint on other objects than the Drawable? Or a Drawable based button?
