Use Iconpack as Image

Hi everyone

I want to use some Icons if this Pack as Images, so everthink looks the same. But i don’t know how to access the Images …

`xmlns:iconPacks=“http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/iconpacks”

this works : <Button Content=“{iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Settings}”

here i wan’t to use the Image … This doesn’t work : <myWPF:ImageButton Image=“{iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Settings}” `

So how can i get or convert the iconPacks to an Image Source ?

I use an IValueConverter for this, which is slightly more useful than a markup extension as you can also use bindings.

For example: ImageSource="{Binding Source={x:Static iconPacks:PackIconEntypoKind.AddToList}, Converter={common:PackIconEntypoImageSourceConverter}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource TextBrush}}"

or like this:

ImageSource="{Binding Path=AddToListIcon, Converter={common:PackIconEntypoImageSourceConverter}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource TextBrush}}"

There are absolutely valid reasons for having the icons as an image, as mentioned here already. I’d like to see this added to the IconPacks.

Here’s the full code to the converters I’m using. Feel free to use it as you want. https://gist.github.com/Phyxion/160a6f04e6083016d4b2a3aed3c4fe71

Another application would be using the icons for RibbonButton which requires a LargeImageSource and a SmallImageSource.
