So, I have a grid, containing 3 columns. 2 one is gridsplitter which is working fine.
In the first one I have a ListView
<ListView Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding Chats}"
Background="Transparent"
BorderThickness="0"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ContactItem}"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"/>
Then there is Style: ContactItem
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}" x:Key="ContactItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<l:RippleEffectDecorator Background="Black" HighlightBackground="White">
<Border Height="62" Background="Transparent" BorderThickness="0">
</Border>
</l:RippleEffectDecorator>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
As you can see there is RippleEffectDecorator - which is ContentControl(I've found it in another case). There is link on github to it: Xaml file
And Cs file
So, starting the project I have:this
When I try to drag gridsplitter I have: this
I've already tried to put HorizontalAlignment and/or HorizontalContentAlignment Stretch to ListView/to ListViewItem style/to RippleEffectDecorator style.
Not problem about anything inside RippleEffectDecorator cuz when I was writing it without this contentcontrol it was working fine.
All I need is just everything inside this RippleEffectDecorator to be able to stretch horizontally when I'm moving gridsplitter, thank you!
I’m building a WPF application in which there’s a TextBox. To apply rounded corners to it, here I read that I need to create a specific style using a ScrollViewer inside a Border. So far so good, but I want to apply the funcionalities of MahApps’ TextBoxHelper class, which lets you use stuff like:
<TextBox controls:TextboxHelper.Watermark="I’m a watermark"/>
to display a watermark inside the TextBox. The problem is that I don’t understand how to combine the style (using the advices in the article I linked to) with MahApps. I tried something like:
<Style TargetType="TextBox" x:Key="myKey">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Border x:Name="border" CornerRadius="10">
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost"
Focusable="false"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
ctrl:TextboxHelper.Watermark="true"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
but the watermark doesn’t show.
I created some assets in inkscape and would like to use them as icons in a windows 8 application. I have done some reading and it seams that while .Net 4.5 supports SVG, the modern ui profile does not. I converted the svg to xaml using this tool.
I get the following xaml.
<Canvas xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" x:Name="svg2997" Width="744.09448" Height="1052.3622" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation">

</Canvas>
</Canvas>
If I add this directly to my apps xaml it will render however the scale is way off.
I would like to use this as an image source for an image object if possible.
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="100" Margin="127,37,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Source="Assets/plus_circle.xaml"/>
Can this be done?
Most AppBar buttons are based on a style included in StandardStyles called AppBarButtonStyle.
To customize the text of the button you set the AutomationProperties.Name attached property, to customize the icon in the button you set the Content property, and it's also a good idea to set the AutomationProperties.AutomationId attached property for accessibility reasons.
Here's an example of a button customized using this approach:
<Style x:Key="FolderButtonStyle" TargetType="ButtonBase" BasedOn="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle}">
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.AutomationId" Value="FolderAppBarButton"/>
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="Folder"/>
<Setter Property="Content" Value=""/>
</Style>
As mentioned above, to customize the icon you set the Content property. The challenge is how you set the content so it displays your custom vector art.
It turns out you can place any path Xaml, even yours, into a Viewbox to change its scale. That was my first approach, but it doesn't work. In fact, it seems any time you use Xaml expanded notation to set the Content property for a button it doesn't work.
<Style x:Key="SquareButtonStyle" TargetType="ButtonBase" BasedOn="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle}">
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.AutomationId" Value="SquareAppBarButton"/>
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="Square"/>
<Setter Property="Content">
<Setter.Value>
<!-- This square will never show -->
<Rectangle Fill="Blue" Width="20" Height="20" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
I actually think this is a bug, but luckily there is a workaround.
Tim Heuer wrote an excellent article on the simplest way to use a Xaml Path as the artwork for a button. That article is here:
http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2012/09/03/using-vectors-as-appbar-button-icons.aspx
In short, you need to define a style that sets up all the bindings correctly:
<Style x:Key="PathAppBarButtonStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle}" TargetType="ButtonBase">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Path Width="20" Height="20"
Stretch="Uniform"
Fill="{Binding Path=Foreground, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}"
Data="{Binding Path=Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
Then you create a style that inherits from that style and you paste in your path. Here is the style for your artwork you listed above:
<Style x:Key="CrossButtonStyle" TargetType="ButtonBase" BasedOn="{StaticResource PathAppBarButtonStyle}">
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.AutomationId" Value="CrossAppBarButton"/>
<Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="Cross"/>
<Setter Property="Content" Value="M372.58272,134.72445C167.96301,134.72445 2.06820310000001,300.58818 2.06820310000001,505.20789 2.06820310000001,709.8276 167.96301,875.72241 372.58272,875.72241 577.20243,875.72241 743.06616,709.8276 743.06616,505.20789 743.06616,300.58818 577.20243,134.72445 372.58272,134.72445z M280.73888,251.77484L455.94149,251.77484 455.94149,413.70594 628.16035,413.70594 628.16035,588.97071 455.94149,588.97071 455.94149,773.71514 280.73888,773.71514 280.73888,588.97071 106.22005,588.97071 106.22005,413.70594 280.73888,413.70594 280.73888,251.77484z"/>
</Style>
And finally, you use it in your AppBar like this:
<Button Style="{StaticResource CrossButtonStyle}" />

I'm pretty positive you can't just inject Path Data into an Image Source and expect it to magically work unless it's through a Drawing Object as Source. What you can however do is adopt your Path into a ContentControl for re-use in the same way without having to go through the trouble of Drawing objects for every instance.
So instead of;
<Image Source="..."/>
Just do something like this and plop it in your Object.Resources or ResourceDictionary;
<Style x:Key="YourThingy" TargetType="ContentControl">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ContentControl">
<Path Fill="#FFCCCCCC" Stroke="#FF000000" StrokeThickness="1.34377062" StrokeMiterLimit="4" x:Name="path3007" Data="M372.58272,134.72445C167.96301,134.72445 2.06820310000001,300.58818 2.06820310000001,505.20789 2.06820310000001,709.8276 167.96301,875.72241 372.58272,875.72241 577.20243,875.72241 743.06616,709.8276 743.06616,505.20789 743.06616,300.58818 577.20243,134.72445 372.58272,134.72445z M280.73888,251.77484L455.94149,251.77484 455.94149,413.70594 628.16035,413.70594 628.16035,588.97071 455.94149,588.97071 455.94149,773.71514 280.73888,773.71514 280.73888,588.97071 106.22005,588.97071 106.22005,413.70594 280.73888,413.70594 280.73888,251.77484z" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Then just plop it on your view wherever and as many times as you like;
<ContentControl Style="{StaticResource YourThingy}"/>
You will however want to play with that Path of yours. It seems set a large size, but hopefully this provides a good alternative for your circumstance. Cheers!
I am working with WPF application. I have created a custom control library where I have customized all controls, meaning added some functionality and restyled them. Same way I have restyled the ToolTip as well. I am using this custom library in other projects. Everything is working fine except ToolTip. ToolTip style is not getting applied. Any Help plz.
Edit:
I have created a custom class named ToolTip that derives from System.Windows.Controls.ToolTip, I have declared style for my custom class as well. Now I want to know how can I get this style applied for ToolTip of each control, I mean I want to create object of my ToolTip whenever user set ToolTip on a control.
in .cs:
public class ToolTip : System.Windows.Controls.ToolTip
{
static ToolTip()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(ToolTip), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(ToolTip)));
}
}
in .xaml(Resource Dictionary):
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:ToolTip}">
<Setter Property="VerticalOffset" Value="-2" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOffset" Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="35"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Placement" Value="Top" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:ToolTip}">
<Grid Name="Border" Background="Transparent" Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}">
<Rectangle RadiusX="7.5" RadiusY="7.5">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0.5,-0.5" EndPoint="0.547,0.913">
<GradientStop Color="#FFEEEEEE" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFBBBBBB" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
<ContentPresenter Margin="10,0,10,0" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextBlock.Foreground="Black" TextBlock.FontSize="12" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Any Help plz.
Placing the default ToolTip Style in a shared ResourceDictionary in a separate assembly will allow it to be used by multiple projects. You can merge in the MyDefaultStyles ResourceDictionary in the Resources folder of the SharedStyleLibrary.dll into App.xaml using:
<App.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/SharedStyleLibrary;component/Resources/MyDefaultStyles.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</App.Resources>
If MyDefaultStyles contains an implicit ToolTip Style (<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
) it will be used as the default. You can also target it more locally by instead giving the Style an x:Key and then creating an implicit ToolTip Style in whatever scope you want it to apply (i.e. Window, UserControl, single layout Panel):
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ExternalLibraryNamedStyle}">...
If your custom ToolTip class is only for the sake of applying templates, it's much easier to use an Implicit Style for your ToolTips:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<!-- rest of your style here -->
</Style>
I want to add a style to the the image programmatically. Here is my code
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style x:Name="BranchPages" x:Key="BranchPages">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Green">
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
and the code behid is as follows
Style greenbdr = (Style)FindResource("BranchPages");
page.img.Style = greenbdr;
But Its not working Please help
This workaround might help:
Since the Image has no border, place it inside a Border control.
<Border Name="imgBorder" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Transparent">
<Image Name="img"></Image>
</Border>
Then create logic code against the properties of that Border.
imgBorder.BorderBrush = Brushes.Green;
An Image is not a Control, it is only derived from FrameworkElement and thus has no Template property.
It has a Style, though, so you can use it to set its properties, like Cursor, HorizontalAlignment, etc.
