Our v19.2 release includes a new Badge control. With its API, you can display a badge over any control or UI element, be it a data grid column or a Toolbar\Ribbon item. In addition to standard WPF properties, our Badge control ships with numerous customization options.
Shape
The Badge API includes a predefined shape set. You can use predefined shapes without modification or customize a shape via the CornerRadius property:
Color
The Badge API also includes a Badge.BadgeKind property. Each BadgeKind ships with a predefined color value.
Color values can vary based on the DevExpress Theme used in an application.
You can specify custom Badge colors via Badge.Background, Badge.BorderBrush, and Badge.Foreground:
Position
A Badge’s default position is over the top-right corner of the parent UI element, but you can customize its horizontal\vertical alignment and anchor as needed.
When you display a Badge over a BarItem with a glyph, the Badge is displayed over the glyph:
Content Format
You can use ContentStringFormat and ContentFormatProvider to format Badge Content when it is displayed as a string:
