Change listbox item style when selected in WPF

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing incorrect but it appears that my style trigger is not being recognized. I want to change the color of the Stroke when the listbox item is selected.
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding CityList}" DisplayMemberPath="Name" SelectionMode="Extended"
VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizing="true"
VirtualizingPanel.VirtualizationMode="Recycling"
Background="Brown">
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="Canvas.Left" Value="{Binding Longitude, Converter={StaticResource longValueConverter}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource mapWidth}}"/>
<Setter Property="Canvas.Top" Value="{Binding Latitude, Converter={StaticResource latValueConverter}, ConverterParameter={StaticResource mapHeight}}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="3" />
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Ellipse x:Name="indicator"
Fill="#FF000000"
Height="10"
Width="10"
Stroke="Transparent"
StrokeThickness="2"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="indicator" Property="Stroke" Value="Red"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Canvas IsItemsHost="True"
Width="{StaticResource mapWidth}"
Height="{StaticResource mapHeight}"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>

You can't use TargetName in a Style Setter.
Instead of setting the ContentTemplate property, you may set the Template property and add the Trigger to the ControlTemplate.Triggers collection:
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Grid>
<Ellipse x:Name="indicator"
Fill="#FF000000"
Height="10"
Width="10"
Stroke="Transparent"
StrokeThickness="2"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="indicator" Property="Stroke" Value="Red"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
You may also add a ContentPresenter to the Grid in the ControlTemplate, which would display the elements of the ItemTemplate (if you later decide to declare one).

Changing Foreground color of ComboBoxItem

I am trying to change the foreground color of ComboBoxItem, however it does not apply, what am I doing wrong? Also I'm trying to change the foreground color of hovers on ComboBoxItem which does not work as well.
Here is my xaml:
<ComboBox x:Name="tab5_2_num" ItemsSource="{Binding}" FontSize="13" FontFamily="/WPF;component/Font/#Agency FB" Margin="722,46,406,281" BorderThickness="1,1,1,4" Height="30">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label Content="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ComboBoxItem}">
<Label x:Name="lblCombo" Foreground="Black" FontFamily="/WPF;component/Font/#Agency FB" FontSize="13" Height="20" />
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="lblCombo" Property="Background" Value="#FFF01F1F"/>
<Setter TargetName="lblCombo" Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ComboBox>

Since you have set Label in your ComboBoxItem's template, the Label set in DataTemplate won't work. So please try following code:
<ComboBox x:Name="tab5_2_num" Height="30" BorderThickness="1,1,1,4" FontFamily="/WPF;component/Font/#Agency FB" FontSize="13" ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ComboBoxItem}">
<Label x:Name="lblCombo" Content="{Binding}" FontFamily="/WPF;component/Font/#Agency FB" FontSize="13" Foreground="Black" />
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="lblCombo" Property="Background" Value="#FFF01F1F" />
<Setter TargetName="lblCombo" Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ComboBox>
It should work.

First of all I wonder if you see the Label content. You may need the following:
<Label Content={Binding} ... />

Style Basedon not working with checkbox

I have a style defined in a resource dictionary to make my checkbox look like a button:
<Style TargetType="CheckBox" x:Key="CBCheckBoxButton">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Border Name="BackgroundBorder" Background="Black" CornerRadius="20">
<Grid>
<Rectangle x:Name="UpperRect" Margin="1" Grid.Row="0" RadiusX="20" RadiusY="20" Fill="{StaticResource GrayGradient}"/>
<TextBlock Name="ButtonContent" Text="{TemplateBinding Content}" Margin="3" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="UpperRect" Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource LightBlueGradient}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="UpperRect" Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource BlueGradient}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="BackgroundBorder" Property="Background" Value="DarkGray"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Effect" Value="{StaticResource ShadowEffect}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14"/>
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Calibri"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="DarkGray"/>
<Setter Property="Effect" Value="{StaticResource DisableShadowEffect}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
When used like so it works great:
<CheckBox Width="80" Height="80" Margin="10" Content="{Binding Y2LockAxisString}" Command="{Binding Y2LockDisableEnableCommand}" Style="{StaticResource CBCheckBoxButton}"/>
But I need to add a style so that different commands etc. are called depending on the state of the check box. So I used the basedon property:
<CheckBox Width="80" Height="80" Margin="10">
<Style TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}" BasedOn="{StaticResource CBCheckBoxButton}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding ExecuteX2LockDisable}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding ExecuteX2LockEnable}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</CheckBox>
But the checkbox looks like a default checkbox with none of the appearance elements applied to it.
Why isn't the appearance style working?

It seems you are adding the Style as Content, instead of Style.
Have you tried
<CheckBox Width="80" Height="80" Margin="10">
<CheckBox.Style>
<Style --- snip --->
</Style>
</CheckBox.Style>
</CheckBox>

ToggleButton style not working when in treeview

I have a treeview with buckets and parts. Everything looks great except one feature. A property on bucket (bool IsEditable) allows the user to toggle editing on or off within the tree view for that node. But for some reason when wpf displays the collection of buckets in the treeview the togglebuttons do not show the proper text
Here is my xaml:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}" x:Key="Editor">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Content">
<Setter.Value>
<TextBlock Text="Edit"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Content">
<Setter.Value>
<TextBlock Text="Done"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
<DataTemplate x:Key="HierarchialItemTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding BucketQty, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding PartNum}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DisplayBucket">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Sequence}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}"/>
<ToggleButton IsChecked="{Binding IsEditable}" Width="25" Style="{StaticResource Editor}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="EditBucket">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBox Text="{Binding Sequence}"/>
<TextBlock Text=" "/>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Description}"/>
<ToggleButton IsChecked="{Binding IsEditable}" Width="25" Style="{StaticResource Editor}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="TreeTemplate"
DataType="{x:Type domain:Bucket}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Parts}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource HierarchialItemTemplate}"
>
<ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}"
Style="{DynamicResource TreeNodeStyle}"/>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentPresenter}" x:Key="TreeNodeStyle">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource DisplayBucket}"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsEditable}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource EditBucket}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
The above is window.resources. In the Grid is
<TreeView x:Name="Buckets"
ItemsSource="{Binding Model.Job.Buckets}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource TreeTemplate}"
>
So for whatever reason when I add nodes I get a bucket with a toggle button, but the toggle button text only shows up for the last node added. If I click a toggle button, the text disappears out of the previous toggle button and shows up in the one just clicked. The effect is similar to what this person experienced, but I have no idea what the guy was talking about who answered the question ToggleButton Style only works on last ToggleButton.
Any thoughts?

You have couple of options (ordered from least to most dramatic):
1) Content
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}" x:Key="Editor">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Content" Value="Edit" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Content" Value="Done" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
2) ContentTemplate
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}" x:Key="Editor">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="Edit"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="Done"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
3) ControlTemplate
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}" x:Key="Editor">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<TextBlock Text="Edit"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<TextBlock Text="Done"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
The reason why your approach didn't work is that TextBlock control is created only once (i.e. not created as part of template - ControlTemplate or DataTemplate).

Attached Behavior in Trigger Causes Build Error

I have a Style with a control template and I am having trouble getting it to compile. I am trying to trigger an attached behavior. If I put it in the control template triggers it works fine...but if I put it in the textbox triggers I get a build error that says:
Cannot find the static member 'SelectAllProperty' on the type
'TextBoxBehavior'
Here is my code:
<Style x:Key="RenamingTextBox" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Style.Setters>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Grid>
<TextBlock x:Name="block" Visibility="Visible" Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" Margin="0"/>
<TextBox x:Name="box" Visibility="Collapsed" Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" Margin="0">
<TextBox.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Visibility" Value="Visible">
<Trigger.Setters>
<Setter TargetName="box" Property="FocusManager.FocusedElement" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>
<!-- This next line gives an error even though it is the same format as the one below -->
<Setter Property="behaviors:TextBoxBehavior.SelectAll" Value="True"/>
</Trigger.Setters>
</Trigger>
</TextBox.Triggers>
</TextBox>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsRenaming}" Value="true">
<DataTrigger.Setters>
<Setter TargetName="block" Property="TextBox.Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
<Setter TargetName="box" Property="TextBox.Visibility" Value="Visible" />
<!-- Uncommenting below works fine -->
<!--<Setter TargetName="box" Property="behaviors:TextBoxBehavior.SelectAll" Value="True"/>-->
</DataTrigger.Setters>
</DataTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style.Setters>
</Style>
Any ideas as to why one gives a build error and the other doesn't?

Nevermind, I needed to put the triggers for the textbox in a style instead:
<TextBox x:Name="box" Visibility="Collapsed" Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" Margin="0">
<TextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TextBox}}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Visibility" Value="Visible">
<Setter Property="FocusManager.FocusedElement" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>
<Setter Property="behaviors:TextBoxBehavior.SelectAll" Value="True"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>
