true to stretch the shape; otherwise, false.

Use the Stretch property to determine whether a shape’s image should be stretched to fit the entire size of a control. Otherwise, its proportions should be preserved.
Note
Note that the Stretch property is in effect only if the shape is rotated (its XRShape.Angle property value is different from 0 ).
This example demonstrates how to create the XRShape Arrow type control, and set its basic properties.
