I'm creating arrows that represent the hands on a clock. My codebehind then
applies the correct rotation transform to put the hands in the right places.
I've attached a DropShadowBitmapEffect but the angle of the shadow is
affected by the rotate transform, as if the light source moves as the hand
moves. I suppose I could adjust the direction of the DropShadowBitmapEffect
in my codebehind too, but it feels like something that I should be setting up
in my XAML for WPF to do it for me.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Andy,

Have you tried binding the angle of the shadow to the angle of the hand?
I'm thinking you should be able to write a valueconverter that would convert
the hour to an angle, and another for the minute to an angle, then use these
converters in the binding.
