MarkupExtensions

A faster way to get a Button (or any other ContentControl) with an Icon is to use the MarkupExtension(s).

If you want e.g. a Button with an Icon from the PackIconFontAwesome then you can do this one:

<Button Content="{iconPacks:FontAwesome StarRegular}" />

<!-- or -->

<Button Content="{iconPacks:FontAwesome Kind=StarRegular}" />

It's also possible to change some properties of the icon itself like this:

<Button Content="{iconPacks:FontAwesome SpinnerSolid, Width=32, Height=32, Spin=True}" />

It's also possible to use a general (generic) MarkupExtension:

<Button Content="{iconPacks:PackIcon {x:Static iconPacks:PackIconMaterialKind.Cookie}, Width=32, Height=32}" />
