Static resource for Setter Value - c#

This is my Style in App.xaml:
<Style x:Key="numButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Image x:Name="img" Style="{DynamicResource imgDefault}"></Image>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Source" TargetName="img" Value="img/1_push.png"></Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand"></Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="imgDefault" TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="img/0.png"></Setter>
</Style>
I have multiple buttons as numbers (0-9) and I want to use one style for all of the to avoid more text typing. Currently I am able to change each button's default background like this:
<Button Name="btn1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Style="{DynamicResource numButton}" Foreground="White">
<Button.Resources>
<Style x:Key="imgDefault" TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="img/1.png"></Setter>
</Style>
</Button.Resources>
</Button>
So now I want to know is it possible to change Value="img/1_push.png" in App.xaml for each button when it's pressed? For example when 2 is pressed I want it's background to be 2_push.png.
Thanks in advance.

You could create custom Button class with two dependency properties:
ImageButton.cs:
namespace WpfApplication2
{
public class ImageButton : System.Windows.Controls.Button
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty DefaultImageProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("DefaultImage", typeof(Uri), typeof(ImageButton));
public Uri DefaultImage
{
get { return (Uri)GetValue(DefaultImageProperty); }
set { SetValue(DefaultImageProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty PressedImageProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("PressedImage", typeof(Uri), typeof(ImageButton));
public Uri PressedImage
{
get { return (Uri)GetValue(PressedImageProperty); }
set { SetValue(PressedImageProperty, value); }
}
}
}
App.xaml:
<Application x:Class="WpfApplication2.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication2"
StartupUri="Window1.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<Style TargetType="local:ImageButton">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:ImageButton}">
<Image x:Name="img" Source="{Binding DefaultImage,RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, FallbackValue=img/0.png, TargetNullValue=img/0.png}" />
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Source" TargetName="img" Value="{Binding PressedImage, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, FallbackValue=img/1_push.png, TargetNullValue=img/1_push.png}"></Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand"></Setter>
</Style>
</Application.Resources>
Usage:
<local:ImageButton x:Name="btn1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Foreground="White"
DefaultImage="img/1.png" PressedImage="2_push.png"/>
This is a much more cleaner and flexible approach.

RadioButton with custom image and text change at runtime

I have a custom RadioButton style with an Image and 2 TextBlocks.
<Style x:Key="ToggleButton_Chose" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}" >

VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Image Source="{TemplateBinding Button.Tag}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Stretch="Uniform" Width="45" IsEnabled="True" />
<StackPanel Margin="2">
<TextBlock Foreground="#DCDDDE" FontSize="18" FontFamily="Arial">Strona</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Foreground="#52555C" FontSize="12" FontFamily="Arial"> Login</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>

</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
When I create a new button at runtime, setting the Style and I want to change the Image and the text for every single RadioButton. Right now I am thinking about using a Tag for that.
RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton();
radioButton.GroupName = "Side";
radioButton.Style = (Style)Resources["ToggleButton_Chose"];
radioButton.Tag = new BitmapImage(new Uri("https://www.google.com/favicon.ico"));
Is there any other method to set this?
I will have around 100 of the RadioButtons and any of them should get different images and texts.
Custom Control
If you want to create a ToggleButton that requires additional (bindable) properties, you could create a custom control with dependency properties for the image and texts based on the ToggleButton type. Create a new type AdvancedToggleButton that derives from ToggleButton.
public class AdvancedToggleButton : ToggleButton
{
static AdvancedToggleButton()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(AdvancedToggleButton), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(AdvancedToggleButton)));
}
public ImageSource ImageSource
{
get => (ImageSource) GetValue(ImageSourceProperty);
set => SetValue(ImageSourceProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty ImageSourceProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
nameof(ImageSource), typeof(ImageSource), typeof(AdvancedToggleButton));
public string FirstText
{
get => (string) GetValue(FirstTextProperty);
set => SetValue(FirstTextProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty FirstTextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
nameof(FirstText), typeof(string), typeof(AdvancedToggleButton));
public string SecondText
{
get => (string) GetValue(SecondTextProperty);
set => SetValue(SecondTextProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty SecondTextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
nameof(SecondText), typeof(string), typeof(AdvancedToggleButton));
}
Then you can create a default implicit style (by omitting the x:Key) in your application resources or another resource dictionary in scope, so the style is applied automatically.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:AdvancedToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="#32353B" />
<Setter Property="Margin"
Value="10,5" />
<Setter Property="Height"
Value="45" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness"
Value="0" />
<Setter Property="Padding"
Value="1" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment"
Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:AdvancedToggleButton}">
<StackPanel>
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="0">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Image Source="{TemplateBinding ImageSource}"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Stretch="Uniform"
Width="45"
IsEnabled="True" />
<StackPanel Margin="2">
<TextBlock Foreground="#DCDDDE"
FontSize="18"
FontFamily="Arial"
Text="{TemplateBinding FirstText}"/>
<TextBlock Foreground="#52555C"
FontSize="12"
FontFamily="Arial"
Text="{TemplateBinding SecondText}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="#282B2E" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#FF282B2E"
Opacity="0.5" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Note, that I removed the duplicate setter for HorizontalAlignment. The Image binds its Source to the ImageSource property and the TextBlocks bind to FirstText and SecondText respectively. You can either define the AdvancedToggleButton in XAML or code.
<local:AdvancedToggleButton ImageSource="\Resources/Check.jpg"
FirstText="Strona"
SecondText="Login"/>
RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton();
radioButton.GroupName = "Side";
radioButton.ImageSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("https://www.google.com/favicon.ico"));
radioButton.FirstText = "Strona";
radioButton.SecondText = "Login"
Useful resources on custom controls:
Control authoring overview
Dependency properties overview
Attached Properties
An alternative without creating a custom control is to create a set of attached properties.
public static class ToggleButtonProperties
{
public static ImageSource GetImageSource(DependencyObject dependencyObject)
{
return (ImageSource) dependencyObject.GetValue(ImageSourceProperty);
}
public static void SetImageSource(DependencyObject dependencyObject, ImageSource value)
{
dependencyObject.SetValue(ImageSourceProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty ImageSourceProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"ImageSource", typeof(ImageSource), typeof(ToggleButtonProperties));
public static string GetFirstText(DependencyObject dependencyObject)
{
return (string) dependencyObject.GetValue(FirstTextProperty);
}
public static void SetFirstText(DependencyObject dependencyObject, string value)
{
dependencyObject.SetValue(FirstTextProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty FirstTextProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"FirstText", typeof(string), typeof(ToggleButtonProperties));
public static string GetSecondText(DependencyObject dependencyObject)
{
return (string) dependencyObject.GetValue(SecondTextProperty);
}
public static void SetSecondText(DependencyObject dependencyObject, string value)
{
dependencyObject.SetValue(SecondTextProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty SecondTextProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"SecondText", typeof(string), typeof(ToggleButtonProperties));
}
These properties can be bound in the control template using parentheses, which is the binding syntax for attached properties and RelativeSource to the parent ToggleButton.
<Style x:Key="ToggleButton_Chose" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="#32353B" />
<Setter Property="Margin"
Value="10,5" />
<Setter Property="Height"
Value="45" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness"
Value="0" />
<Setter Property="Padding"
Value="1" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment"
Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<StackPanel>
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="0">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Image Source="{Binding (local:ToggleButtonProperties.ImageSource), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Stretch="Uniform"
Width="45"
IsEnabled="True" />
<StackPanel Margin="2">
<TextBlock Foreground="#DCDDDE"
FontSize="18"
FontFamily="Arial"
Text="{Binding (local:ToggleButtonProperties.FirstText), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
<TextBlock Foreground="#52555C"
FontSize="12"
FontFamily="Arial"
Text="{Binding (local:ToggleButtonProperties.SecondText), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="#282B2E" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#FF282B2E"
Opacity="0.5" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Assigning or binding the attached properties is done via the static class.
<ToggleButton Style="{StaticResource ToggleButton_Chose}"
local:ToggleButtonProperties.ImageSource="\Resources/Check.jpg"
local:ToggleButtonProperties.FirstText="Strona"
local:ToggleButtonProperties.SecondText="Login"/>
RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton();
radioButton.GroupName = "Side";
ToggleButtonProperties.SetImageSource(radioButton, new BitmapImage(new Uri("https://www.google.com/favicon.ico")));
ToggleButtonProperties.SetFirstText(radioButton, "Strona");
ToggleButtonProperties.SetSecondText(radioButton, "Login");

Attached Properties Overview
But is ther any other method to sett this? I will have around 100 of the RadioButtons and any of there should get other image and text.
Create a simple data type:
public class ButtonContent
{
public string Strona { get; set; }
public string Login { get; set; }
public object ImageSource { get; set; }
}
This type will be used to pass the button data into the context.
Therefore, we will slightly change the style:
<Style x:Key="ToggleButton_Chose" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}" >
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#32353B" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10,5"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="45" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<StackPanel>
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0">

VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" Stretch="Uniform" Width="45" IsEnabled="True" />
<StackPanel Margin="2">
<TextBlock Foreground="#DCDDDE" FontSize="18" FontFamily="Arial"
Text="{Binding Strona}"/>
<TextBlock Foreground="#52555C" FontSize="12" FontFamily="Arial"
Text="{Binding Login}"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#282B2E"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#FF282B2E" Opacity="0.5"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
For a set of buttons use ItemsControl:
<DataTemplate x:Key="itemTemplate" DataType="{x:Type local:ButtonContent}">
<ToggleButton Style="{DynamicResource ToggleButton_Chose}"/>
</DataTemplate>
<ItemsControl x:Name="itemsControl"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource itemTemplate}">
</ItemsControl>
Create an observable collection with data and pass it to the ItemsControl source:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private readonly ObservableCollection<ButtonContent> ButtonContents
= new ObservableCollection<ButtonContent>();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
itemsControl.ItemsSource = ButtonContents;
ButtonContents.Add(new ButtonContent() { Strona = "Strona1", Login = "Login1", ImageSource = "Image/block.png" });
ButtonContents.Add(new ButtonContent() { Strona = "Strona2", Login = "Login2", ImageSource = "Image/block.png" });
ButtonContents.Add(new ButtonContent() { Strona = "Strona3", Login = "Login3", ImageSource = "Image/block.png" });
ButtonContents.Add(new ButtonContent() { Strona = "Strona4", Login = "Login4", ImageSource = "Image/block.png" });
}
}

WPF: Change the CornerRadius for only the last item in a ListBox

I've created a ListBox with round corners. I've also added a bottom border to all ListBoxItems except for the last one.
The ListBoxItems, however, have normal, square corners, so when hovering over or selecting the first or last items, you can see an overlap between the round ListBox corner and the square ListBoxItem corners.
I can't set CornerRadius the same way I set BorderThickness - I think that's because CornerRadius is a property of the Border property(?).
I can force ALL ListBoxItems to have all round corners which fixes the overlap, but then ALL ListBoxItems have round underlines & selections- which I'd rather not have. I only want those round corners on the bottom of the last item (and eventually top of the first item)
I would like to use a similar sort of trigger for setting CornerRadius that I do for setting BrushThickness.
Is there a way to set the corner radius of just the last item in a ListBox? (and eventually the first item)
In my test, I'm using the MaterialDesignTheme package from NuGet. Because that's non-standard, I'll add all my code here (also note: I'm new to WPF, so feel free to critique anything that looks off):

...and in MainWindow.xaml.cs, I have defined the converter to find the last item:
public class IsLastItemInContainerConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType,
object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
DependencyObject item = (DependencyObject)value;
ItemsControl ic = ItemsControl.ItemsControlFromItemContainer(item);
return ic.ItemContainerGenerator.IndexFromContainer(item)
== ic.Items.Count - 1;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType,
object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
First of all, please understand that the MaterialDesignTheme package was not used in my code.
Items.cs
Instead of using Converter, I added a model class.
public class Items
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool IsFirst { get; set; }
public bool IsLast { get; set; }
}
App.xaml
I defined styles of ListBoxItem, ListBox like below.

Binding to Command property on inherited button custom control

I've created a custom control called ActionButton inherited from Button. I've added a couple of dependency properties which work perfectly, however, I cannot get the binding to the Command property to work. When the application runs, the Command property always returns null.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Here's some of the code which I hope should suffice.
// Custom control
public class ActionButton : Button
{
static ActionButton()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(ActionButton), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(ActionButton)));
}

}

ActionButtons[0].Command = ((SettingsViewModel)DataContext).ResetThemeCommand;
// It's also worth noting, that the dependency properties ToolTipHeader and ToolTipText of the ResetThemeCommand are working properly.
}
}

After change wpf button IsMouseOver trigger color not work

this is my button code
public class MetroButton : Button
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty MoseOverBrushProperty;
public static readonly DependencyProperty PressedBrushProperty;
public MetroButton():base()
{
var resource = new ResourceDictionary
{
Source = new Uri("/Parking.Component.Ui;component/Styles/ButtonMetro.xaml",
UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
};
Style = resource["ButtonMetro"] as Style;
//SetResourceReference(StyleProperty, Style);
}
static MetroButton()
{
MoseOverBrushProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("MoseOverBrush", typeof(Brush), typeof(MetroButton));
PressedBrushProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("PressedBrush", typeof(Brush), typeof(MetroButton));
}
public Brush MoseOverBrush
{
get { return (Brush)base.GetValue(MoseOverBrushProperty); }
set { base.SetValue(MoseOverBrushProperty, value); }
}
public Brush PressedBrush
{
get { return (Brush)base.GetValue(PressedBrushProperty); }
set { base.SetValue(PressedBrushProperty, value); }
}
}
and I use this style for my button
<Style x:Key="ButtonMetro" TargetType="{ x:Type LochalUI:MetroButton}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="MoseOverBrush" Value="#FF3F62FD"/>
<Setter Property="PressedBrush" Value="#FF000099"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF6B9AFF"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15" />
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="B Yekan" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type LochalUI:MetroButton}">
<Border x:Name="border" CornerRadius="4" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="MyContentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding Path=MoseOverBrush , RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding Path=PressedBrush , RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
but the problem is there when i put color for my button background like below code:
<UI:MetroButton HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="132" Height="107" Background="#FF09CD00" >
<Grid>
<Label Content="تنظیمات" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Padding="5,5,5,12" Foreground="White" Margin="5"/>
</Grid>
</UI:MetroButton>
the IsMouseOver changer color and IsPressed Triggers not work.
(I don't want use static resource in my setters)
Changing other properties has no effect just changing background made this problem.
I found the answer problem was in 2 place:
first one when we use trigger in
<ControlTemplate.Triggers/>
you have sure you set your setter set property on the currect object
and the secend one is in the binding we have change
Value="{Binding Path=MoseOverBrush , RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
to
Value="{Binding Path=MoseOverBrush , RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
because MoseOverBrush is parrent property not the ControlTemplate property

Textbox placeholder translations WPF XAML

I have this XAML code that creates a txtbox with a placeholder text, that appears and disapears if it's focused or not.
But right now, I need to translate the aplication to 2 languages with a button. That button simply sets a global variable to "EN" for english and "ES" for spanish.
How can I adapte the code, so depending on that variable (written in code behind) the text "Please, write the reason for your request" changes?
This is the code working right now:
<TextBox x:Name="txt_reasons" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="74" Margin="82,247,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="344" TabIndex="4" MaxLength="150" TextChanged="txt_reasons_TextChanged" IsEnabled="False" IsHitTestVisible="True">
<TextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Left" AlignmentY="Top" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="Please, write the reason for your request" Foreground="Gray" ClipToBounds="True" />
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>
You could use a Label Style with a DataTrigger that binds to the window property.
Please refer to the following sample code.
XAML:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="300" Width="300" x:Name="win">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox x:Name="txt_reasons" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="74" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="344" TabIndex="4" MaxLength="150">
<TextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Left" AlignmentY="Top" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Foreground="Gray" ClipToBounds="True">
<Label.Style>
<Style TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="Content" Value="Please, write the reason for your request"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding TheLanguage, Source={x:Reference win}}" Value="ES">
<Setter Property="Content" Value="spanish..."/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Label.Style>
</Label>
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>
<Button Content="Toggle Language" Click="Button_Click" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Code:
public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private string _language = "EN";
public string TheLanguage
{
get { return _language; }
set { _language = value; NotifyPropertyChanged(); }
}
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
TheLanguage = TheLanguage == "EN" ? "ES" : "EN";
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void NotifyPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] String propertyName = "")
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
}
Note that the window class must implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and raise the PropertyChanged event whenever the source property is set to a new value for the Label to get updated.
