Get and set WPF custom attached property from code behind

Question

I generate objects of framework Rectangle class (which is sealed) and programmatically add them to Canvas. I want to add some information to that objects. Is there such a possibility? I can get and set attached properties in XAML but these is not useful for me.

Take a look at Custom Attached Properties. – Lacteous

@ Clemens, if I wrote that I can get and set this property in XAML it means that I can properly register it. – Gummy

The section from Clemens link that describes how to do this in code is at: Section "Attached Properties in Code". This is similar to the accepted answer, with additional explanation. – Stormystorting

Answer 1

You can set attached properties in code, something like this:

OwningClass.SetMyAttachedProperty(textBox, true);

It's good for any "attached property", presuming you declare it in the standard way. Here's an example of me using a custom one in code: github.com/ButchersBoy/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit/blob/master/… – Twelvemonth
