I have a button in my view with style in staticResource. I have IsEnabled bind to a bool in my viewmodel and want to change background when is disable.
I tried to use Style.Triggers on IsEnabled = false but this don't change the background.
Styles.xaml
<Style x:Key="buttonNegative" TargetType="Button">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
view.xaml
<Button Style="{StaticResource buttonNegative}" Command="{Binding InversionAxis_Command}" IsEnabled="{Binding SettingsButtonIsEnable}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Orientation}"/>
</Button>
viewModel.cs
private bool _settingsButtonIsEnable;
public bool SettingsButtonIsEnable
{
get { return _settingsButtonIsEnable; }
set
{
if (Equals(value, _settingsButtonIsEnable)) return;
_settingsButtonIsEnable = value;
RaisePropertyChanged();
}
}
public ICommand InversionAxis_Command
{
get { return new RelayCommand(InversionAxis, IsSettingsButtonIsEnable); }
}
private bool IsSettingsButtonIsEnable()
{
return _settingsButtonIsEnable;
}
The command was not execute because I use canExecute but the style not changing when SettingsButtonIsEnable change
It's more complicated to change the disabled background than adding a trigger to the style. You'll have to define a custom ControlTemplate:
<Style x:Key="buttonNegative" TargetType="Button">
<Style.Resources>
<Style x:Key="FocusVisual">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="2" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashArray="1 2"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Static.Background" Color="#FFDDDDDD"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Static.Border" Color="#FF707070"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.MouseOver.Background" Color="#FFBEE6FD"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.MouseOver.Border" Color="#FF3C7FB1"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Pressed.Background" Color="#FFC4E5F6"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Pressed.Border" Color="#FF2C628B"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Disabled.Background" Color="Green"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Disabled.Border" Color="#FFADB2B5"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Disabled.Foreground" Color="#FF838383"/>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="border" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter" Focusable="False" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="true">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="border" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border" Value="{StaticResource Button.MouseOver.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="border" Value="{StaticResource Button.MouseOver.Border}"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border" Value="{StaticResource Button.Pressed.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="border" Value="{StaticResource Button.Pressed.Border}"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border" Value="{StaticResource Button.Disabled.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="border" Value="{StaticResource Button.Disabled.Border}"/>
<Setter Property="TextElement.Foreground" TargetName="contentPresenter" Value="{StaticResource Button.Disabled.Foreground}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
The default disabled background is hardcoded into the default template and cannot be overridden with a style setter.

I have a WrapPanel containing a Label and a CheckBox. The idea is to make the Label and the CheckBox look like 1 element, so when the WrapPanel's MouseLeftButtonUp is fired (weather the event happens on the CheckBox, or the Label), the checkbox inside it becomes checked (or unchecked if it was already checked).
In WPF, when you move your mouse over a CheckBox it gets this blue border. i want it to happen when the mouse goes over any part of the WrapPanel (the Label or the CheckBox itself)
I tried to call the myCheckbox.Focus(); when the MouseEnter for the WrapPanel is fired, but didn't do the trick.
I also saw this link on how to make checkbox focus border apear when calling CheckBox.Focus(), but it didn't answer my question either.
Any help is appreciated.
Modify the template of the CheckBox to use a WrapPanel instead of the default Grid:
<CheckBox>
<TextBlock>Label that wraps with the CheckBox...</TextBlock>
<CheckBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">

If you're open to an alternative (simpler) solution, This is how you should do it: define a custom style for the checkbox and override the Template so to get the WrapPanel and whatever controls you want look as part of the CheckBox..
<Style TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}" x:Key="myCheckboxStyle">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<WrapPanel>
<Label />
<!-- other Controls -->
<ContentPresenter/>
</WrapPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Apply the custom style to the checkbox
<CheckBox Style="{StaticResource myCheckboxStyle}" Content="Check Me"/>

i'm sorry for the bad quality
I have this code I found on here, that generates me a grid of buttons - I know this may not be the best way to do this, but for now I'd like to do it this way, I am quite new at this. So the button should be either Black(1) or White(0), depending on it's value. This all works, until I hover the button and I can see it's value. If I just add the Visibility property = "false" to the button, it does not even get displayed.
This is my code:
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate_Level2">
<Button Content="{Binding}" Height="15" Width="15" Margin="1,1,1,1">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding}" Value="1">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding}" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate_Level1">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}" ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource DataTemplate_Level2}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
And then I display the grid here:
<Grid Margin="10,10,10,-636" Grid.Row="3">
<ItemsControl x:Name="automata" ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource DataTemplate_Level1}" Margin="0,0,0,-119"/>
</Grid>
I would also be happy of a recommendation on how to display these values in another way.
If you want to change the appearance or visual states of a control, create a style with a ControlTemplate that fits your requirements. You can also extract the default style using Blen or Visual Studio and adapt it.
In the following, I took the default style with its control template for Button and commented out the triggers for MouseOver, Pressed and other states so they are ineffective, but you still see where to continue since your question certainly is only the starting point for further customization. I adapted and added your triggers to the ControlTemplate. What this does is simply show a black button for 1 and white for 0.

Use this style in your data template and you should get the expected result.
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate_Level2">
<Button Content="{Binding}" Height="15" Width="15" Margin="1,1,1,1" Style="{DynamicResource MyButtonStyle}"/>
</DataTemplate>
Since you try to make the text 1 and 0 invisible by setting the background and foreground to the same color, you could also simply remove the ContentPresenter from the ControlTemplate, so there is no content displayed at all and the Foreground setters are not needed.
Another thing to note is that your binary state maybe suggests to use a ToggleButton instead.
Base class for controls that can switch states, such as CheckBox.
This is an example style for a ToggleButton that does not show content and sets the background like in your question, but dependening on its IsChecked property.
<Style x:Key="MyToggleButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Style.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Static.Background" Color="#FFDDDDDD"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Button.Static.Border" Color="#FF707070"/>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Style>
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="2" StrokeDashArray="1 2" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource Button.Static.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource Button.Static.Border}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Border x:Name="border" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true"/>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Black"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Change the binding in your data template from Content to IsChecked.
<DataTemplate x:Key="DataTemplate_Level2">
<ToggleButton IsChecked="{Binding}" Height="15" Width="15" Margin="1,1,1,1" Style="{DynamicResource MyToggleButtonStyle}"/>
</DataTemplate>
This buys you the advantage of toggling the states automatically, but only if you can provide a property for two-way binding (getter and setter), otherwise an exception will be thrown.
I want to change the background color of a button when IsMouseOver == True
<Button Command="{Binding ClickRectangleColorCommand}" Background="{Binding Color, Converter={StaticResource RGBCtoBrushColorsConverter},Mode=TwoWay}" Width="auto" Height="40">
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" Text="{Binding Color, Converter={StaticResource RGBCColorToTextConveter},Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="DarkGoldenrod"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
I can't seem to understand why this trigger isn't working.
Try this- In this example Original color is green and mouseover color will be DarkGoldenrod
<Button Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="50" Height="50" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Foreground="{x:Null}" Margin="50,0,0,0">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="DarkGoldenrod"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
<Button Content="Click" Width="200" Height="50">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="Border" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGreen" TargetName="Border" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
As others already said, there seems to be no good solution to do that easily.
But to keep your code clean I suggest creating a seperate class that hides the ugly XAML.
How to use after we created the ButtonEx-class:

set { SetValue(HoverBackgroundProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty HoverBackgroundProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"HoverBackground", typeof(Brush), typeof(ButtonEx), new PropertyMetadata(DefaultHoverBackgroundValue));
}
}

Tip:
You can add an UserControl with name "ButtonEx" to your project in VS Studio and then copy paste the stuff above in.
Adding on Microsoft_DN answer, if anyone wants to reuse the style for different buttons with different color we can create a custom Button class with hovercolor and bgcolor DependencyProperty.
HoverButton.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Media;
namespace StackOverflow
{
public class HoverButton : Button
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty hoverColorProperty = DependencyProperty.Register
(
"hoverColor",
typeof(SolidColorBrush),
typeof(HoverButton),
new PropertyMetadata(new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#5D5D5D"))
);
public SolidColorBrush hoverColor
{
get { return (SolidColorBrush)GetValue(hoverColorProperty); }
set { SetValue(hoverColorProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty bgColorProperty = DependencyProperty.Register
(
"bgColor",
typeof(SolidColorBrush),
typeof(HoverButton),
new PropertyMetadata(new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red))
);
public SolidColorBrush bgColor
{
get { return (SolidColorBrush)GetValue(bgColorProperty); }
set { SetValue(bgColorProperty, value); }
}
}
}
Then add the following style in App.xaml file inside Application.Resources tag
<Style TargetType="{x:Type StackOverflow:HoverButton}" x:Key="customButton">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path = bgColor}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value ="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path = hoverColor}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
The we can use the style as in HoverButton
<myApp:HoverButton Height="20" Width="20" Style="{StaticResource customButton}" bgColor="Orange" hoverColor="Blue">
</myApp:HoverButton>
Because HoverButton is not using the project namespace we need to add
xmlns:myApp = "clr-namespace:StackOverflow"
in both Application tag in app.xaml and Window tag in MainWindow.xaml file.
Sample: https://github.com/ayush1920/Stackoverflow/tree/main/WPF%20HoverButton
<Button Background="#FF4148" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="Transparent">
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Right" BorderBrush="#FF6A6A" BorderThickness="0>
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF6A6A" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Source="//ImageName.png" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Button>
I have the following xaml-code to set a border on a checkbox if the checkbox is checked.
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<StackPanel.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="2"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Lime"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</StackPanel.Resources>
<CheckBox Content="Use Method 1" />
<CheckBox Content="Use Method 2" />
<CheckBox Content="Use Method 3" />
</StackPanel>
Unfortunately this doesn't work. If I check a CheckBox, nothing happens to the border.
What is wrong with this xaml-code?
You'd need a custom check box template. See below the Aero default style with the modifications that you need:
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxFillNormal" Color="#F4F4F4"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="CheckBoxStroke" Color="#8E8F8F"/>
<Style x:Key="EmptyCheckBoxFocusVisual">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="1" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashArray="1 2"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="CheckRadioFocusVisual">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="14,0,0,0" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashArray="1 2"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CheckBoxFillNormal}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource CheckBoxStroke}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource EmptyCheckBoxFocusVisual}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
<BulletDecorator Background="Transparent" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<Microsoft_Windows_Themes:BulletChrome BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" IsChecked="{TemplateBinding IsChecked}" RenderMouseOver="{TemplateBinding IsMouseOver}" RenderPressed="{TemplateBinding IsPressed}"/>
</BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<Border x:Name="ContentBorder" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
<ContentPresenter RecognizesAccessKey="True" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
</Border>
</BulletDecorator>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="ContentBorder" Value="Lime"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="HasContent" Value="true">
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource CheckRadioFocusVisual}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="4,0,0,0"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
You can add a setter to change border brush of BulletChrome when check box is checked (add a name for bullet chrome and duplicate the setter in trigger for IsChecked, just change the name in the new setter)
EDIT:
Oh, and you'd need this xmlns definition:
xmlns:Microsoft_Windows_Themes="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Themes;assembly=PresentationFramework.Aero"
(of course you'd need a reference to PresentationFramework.Aero assembly)
