Remarks

The Shield control is designed to mimic the style of shields.io badges. It consists of two parts: a subject (left side) and a status (right side), each with distinct background colors.

Fields

IsReadOnlyProperty

Defines the IsReadOnly property.

public static readonly StyledProperty<bool> IsReadOnlyProperty

Field Value

StyledProperty<bool>

StatusProperty

Defines the Status property.

public static readonly StyledProperty<object?> StatusProperty

Field Value

StyledProperty<object>

SubjectBackgroundProperty

Defines the SubjectBackground property.

public static readonly StyledProperty<IBrush?> SubjectBackgroundProperty

Field Value

StyledProperty<IBrush>

SubjectProperty

Defines the Subject property.

public static readonly StyledProperty<object?> SubjectProperty

Field Value

StyledProperty<object>

Properties

IsReadOnly

Gets or sets whether the shield is in read-only (display-only) mode.

public bool IsReadOnly { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

When true, the shield is non-interactive but retains full opacity, unlike the disabled state which fades the control. Use this for informational badges.

Status

Gets or sets the content displayed on the right side of the shield (the status/value).

public object? Status { get; set; }

Property Value

object

The status content, typically a string like "passing", "1.0.0", or "MIT". Can also be any UI element for custom rendering.

Subject

Gets or sets the content displayed on the left side of the shield (the subject/label).

public object? Subject { get; set; }

Property Value

object

The subject content, typically a string like "build", "version", or "license". Can also be any UI element for custom rendering.

SubjectBackground

Gets or sets the background color of the subject (left) part of the shield.

public IBrush? SubjectBackground { get; set; }

Property Value

IBrush

An Avalonia.Media.IBrush used as the background for the subject section. If not set, falls back to the theme-defined ShieldSubjectBackgroundBrush.

Methods

OnCreateAutomationPeer()

Returns a new, type-specific Avalonia.Automation.Peers.AutomationPeer implementation for the control.

protected override AutomationPeer OnCreateAutomationPeer()

Returns

AutomationPeer

The type-specific Avalonia.Automation.Peers.AutomationPeer implementation.

OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs)

Invoked when an unhandled Avalonia.Input.InputElement.KeyDownEvent reaches an element in its route that is derived from this class. Implement this method to add class handling for this event.

protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)

Parameters

e KeyEventArgs

Data about the event.

OnPointerPressed(PointerPressedEventArgs)

Invoked when an unhandled Avalonia.Input.InputElement.PointerPressedEvent reaches an element in its route that is derived from this class. Implement this method to add class handling for this event.

protected override void OnPointerPressed(PointerPressedEventArgs e)

Parameters

e PointerPressedEventArgs

Data about the event.

OnPropertyChanged(AvaloniaPropertyChangedEventArgs)

Called when a avalonia property changes on the object.

protected override void OnPropertyChanged(AvaloniaPropertyChangedEventArgs change)

Parameters

change AvaloniaPropertyChangedEventArgs

The property change details.
