Hi. I've recently made an UserControl, which took quite a long time, because I had to work with custom Dependency Properties and so on... Anyways, it was just a bunch of 3 controls: TextBox, Popup with Hierarchical Tree. Now I realized I could probably write a ControlTemplate only. Hence what is the benefit of using UserControl? ...

As far as I can see I have to define a setter for every element to change its color. Is there a way to reference a shared resource in the template that all contained elements can access, and which...

I've got an ItemsControl (in a DockPanel with other stuff) which has a ControlTemplate to provide a ScrollViewer because the items won't fit on the screen. With the given config, I get a strange double-border top and bottom. It looks like a grey line above the top line and another below the bottom line. The sides are unaffected. I ge...

In order to apply a triggered animation to all ToolTips in my app, I'm using a ControlTemplate. However, when using a ControlTemplate the ToolTip loses all of its default visual properties as defined, I believe, by the theme. How can I retain all properties except for those that I override? Using the following code <ToolTip Opacity="...

What I'd like is a control that functions just like the tab control but instead of having the tabs along the top, the items would be displayed in a list box along the side. I imagine it's possible but haven't found any examples, I'm hoping there's someone here that's done something like this. ...
