I have a user control that applies a style to button, with the style containing a ControlTemplate section. Within the ControlTemplate, there are various UI elements such as an Ellipse and a Path. If I give those elements -- the Ellipse and Path -- a name with x:Name, can I access them from code behind? It appears the style's Ellipse an...
Okay, I've not done much WPF lately and this is confusing me. I have a Style defined for RadioButton, which uses a ControlTemplate with a MultiTrigger. The gist is that I want a Border to become opaque when the mouse either hovers over it or when it's IsChecked is true. So I have the MultiTrigger, which animates the Opacity in and ou...
So the thing is that I have a main ControlTemplate which defines the most basic stuff for the new button look we're designing. But I want to do 3 other control templates for this button so we can set different colors in those; but I don't want to copy paste the main ControlTemplate and change the color there, instead I want to "inherit" ...

Hi all, I’m loving behaviours and states in Blend 3. Typically I’m using the GoToStateAction behaviour to go to a state when an action (such as a button click) occurs. I’ve hit a snag with ControlTemplate triggers though. Blend lets me define states in the ControlTemplate, but I can’t work out how to assign the behaviour to use them....
I have a style that overrides the ControlTemplate of the element (in this case, Label). So, I can use TemplateBinding to give the consumer control of certain things within the ControlTemplate. For example, I can set FontSize and Background explicitly in the Control and have access to these values within the ControlTemplate. However, th...
When I override the default style/controltemplate of a standard WPF control in blend using "Edit a Copy" without modifying it (just creating a local copy of if), will this already break theming in some scenarios? In other words, do different themes provide differnt controltemplate- and/or styledefinitions for the standard controls? How c...
When it comes to UI design I generally don't care to do custom styling (appearance-wise), I'm not much of an artist and I hate trying to come up with interesting color schemes and the like. Are there any online repositories of premade WPF styles and/or control templates? I could have sworn I saw one before but I can't find it now, it mig...
I have a Canvas in a ResourceDictionary xaml file like so: <Canvas x:Key="Icon"> <Path ... /> <Path ... /> </Canvas> In my code-behind I load this icon using LayoutGrid.Children.Add(FindResource("Icon") as Canvas); And this works fine. Now I want to create a button that uses the same icon as a template. So I create a cont...
When creating a Style, is it possible to set the ControlTemplate property to a previously defined resource? For example, if I had the following in a ResourceDictionary: <ControlTemplate x:Key="MyControlTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> ... </ControlTemplate> And then later wanted to use it in a Style like this: <Style x:Key="M...
I want to define a ToggleButton that appears with red foreground (for example) when checked, rather than the default appearance of a pressed button. I see that the visual states are maintained as named elements inside the ToggleButton's control template. What is the easiest way to replace/remove/customize a visual state WITHOUT redefin...

Hi All, I am trying to retemplate a Silverlight3 progress bar, to show the "Value" in a TextBlock within the ProgressBarIndicator, and the "Maximum" in another textblock in the ProgressBarTrack. I think that using TemplateBinding on the Value and Maximum properties would do this, but it isn't working. FYI the template I have so far i...
In my WPF application, I have the standard Generic.xaml file, which contains a style for my custom class, Frost. I need to find a way to hook up the Completed event of one of the animations to my custom Frost class, I cannot do it at runtime because it complains at me that i need to set IsFrozen to false which I do not want to do (becau...
Hello everyone, I'm starting to study Silverlight 3 and Visual Studio 2008. I've been trying to create Windows sidebar gadget with button controls that look like circles (I have couple of "roundish" png images). The behavior, I want, is the following: when the mouse hovers over the image it gets larger a bit. When we click on it, then i...
I've used a control template to change the appearance of a button in a trivial way. It now looks different, but does not behave like a button. There are really two problems: The button's command is never executed After clicking on the button, it appears selected (i.e., the ellipse turns into an ugly blue rectangle) Here's the gener...
