Image = FontAwesome Image?

[andrewcartwright1]

Hey, great work on this.

I have recently added this to my app and have removed quite a lot of images I designed myself in favor of this. I'm wanting to use this in collaboration with Material Menu, which can set an Image in the MenuButton Control ie:

<materialMenu:MenuButton Text="Settings" Image=""/>

I was wondering if there was a way in the xaml to have it use a fontAwesome image? Or would this have to be set in the code behind?

Many thanks.

@andrewcartwright1 what is materialMenu:MenuButton? is it a 3rd party lib?

[andrewcartwright1]

Yeah, https://github.com/beto-rodriguez/MaterialMenu

@andrewcartwright1 after first fast look it seems the MaterialButton should be allow this...

I'm just wondering how to achieve it, Xaml is not my strongest area unfortunatly.

Currently I'm looking at this

<materialMenu:MenuButton Text="Settings" Image="{fa:ImageAwesome Icon=Cog}">

And seeing errors, I know this is probably the wrong way to do it. Still trying a variety of ways to achieve it.

@andrewcartwright1 problem is that Image property is a ImageSource

I guess the quickest way, would be to assign the Image in the codebehind. Another solution would be to create a simple converter to supply an ImageSource from a FontAwesome icon. In the example project there is an example on how to obtain an ImageSource (icon for Window).

Hmm okay, I'll take a look at that. I guess there is no easier way to do this in the xaml itself ^^.

Thank you
