I've been trying so hard to find an external package to make my WPF Apps in VS 2010 Express Edition look like Metro UI but this version does not support it, so I found this thread: Making WPF applications look Metro-styled, even in Windows 7? (Window Chrome / Theming / Theme) in which the user creates an own Theme. I have tried to adapt his code to my App (namespace WpfApplication1 and window MainWindow, as it is set by default) but I get an error at this part:
<Style x:Key="MainWindowStyle" TargetType="WpfApplication1:MainWindow">
Where it says that WpfApplication1 is an undeclared namespace.
I don't know why this happens since the namespace has the following shape:
namespace WpfApplication1
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}
And this is the whole code from this other guy adapted to my workspace:

Any ideas where it might be failing? Thanks!
When it says the namespace is not declared, it means that is not declared inside XAML. To declare it in XAML you use xmlns:, append the short name and then define the actual namespace, something like this:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:WpfApplication1="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
Title="MainWindow" Height="150" Width="350"
>
You can look at above, there are 3 declared namespaces, I added the one you missed and should fix your problem.
Of course you should use some short name instead.

We Need to button on the top header of the modern window and click or command of the button. I want to do some implementation on this command. How to make command here?
I'm a beginner in WPF. It's hard as hell just so you know!
ok, i have a little style for my application (Actually i copied it, and really don't know whats happening in the middle so...)
i wanted to add some Hyperlinks and Buttons to header of application. so i edited the style and added those from there.
but now i want to change content of those from code-behind, but as you already know that's not happening!
This is my style in Application.Resources:

so i don't know how change content of Hyperlinks or even i could replace them with Button if that is necessary. just tell me how i could change those content. of course i have to say i tried FindResource but couldn't find that Hyperlinks or Buttons. Thanks in advance guys.
try this:
1. create a new WpfApplication project
2. remove MainWindow.xaml
3. add pages: startup.xaml, page1.xaml or more, and set diff background
4. change StartupUri="startup.xaml" in App.xaml
5. add NavigationWindow Style in App.xaml

I'm using these for Mimimize, Restore/Maximize and Close the Window.
The problem is that the mouse identifies the button only bottom half of it.
Does'nt raise Click, MouseOver or wont even show the Tooltip from its top half.
In the Template you can see a blue border, Actually that wasn't there before. I kept that to analyse the problem thinking making it transparent might solve. But didn't.
This style works now

I have used the answer to this question as the basis for styling an app I am building.
All looks good in design mode, I get the following:
But at runtime I get a large gap above my content, which in this case is a MediaElement:
The code for my MainWindow is:

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">
<MediaElement Name="meVideo" Height="Auto" Width="Auto" IsMuted="True"/>

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where this formatting difference is coming from?
Many thanks.
You are seeing the box filling up the bigger space in the design, because thats the maximum size MediaElement can take up. But your actual image is smaller than the size allocated for the MediaElement contro, so it appears smaller at runtime.
So if you want the image to fill up the space try using its stretch property as required. Refer here for example: MediaElement.Stretch Property
I have a ContextMenu defined in XAML as follows:
<ContextMenu x:Name="deleteContextMenu">
<ContextMenu.BitmapEffect>
<DropShadowBitmapEffect Color="#FFB3C7E5" Direction="-60" ShadowDepth="5" Opacity="0.8"/>
</ContextMenu.BitmapEffect>
<MenuItem Header="Delete" Click="DeleteMenuItem_Click" Name="DeleteMenuItem" Background="{StaticResource ContextMenuBrush}">
<MenuItem Header="DeleteChild" Name="DeleteMenuItem2" Background="{StaticResource ContextMenuBrush}">
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>
My custom DropShadow is applied to the main ContextMenu pop-up, but when I click the MenuItem, the submenu pop-up still has the horrible default shadow that looks terribly out of place with my color scheme. How can I force all submenus to have the same custom DropShadow effect?
UPDATE:
if I hack the visual tree for a MenuItem on the main context menu pop-up thusly:
StackPanel menuStackPanel = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(menuItem as DependencyObject) as StackPanel;
Border border = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(menuStackPanel) as Border;
border.Background = Brushes.Red;
I can control the color of the main pop-up.
For a subMenuItem in the submenu pop-up, there is no parent of any type returned by the visual tree helper.
I have a hacky suggestion:
<ContextMenu x:Name="deleteContextMenu">
<ContextMenu.BitmapEffect>
<DropShadowBitmapEffect Color="#FFB3C7E5" Direction="-60" ShadowDepth="5" Opacity="0.8"/>
</ContextMenu.BitmapEffect>
<ContextMenu.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type PopupRoot}">
<Setter Property="BitmapEffect">
<Setter.Value>
<DropShadowBitmapEffect Color="#FFB3C7E5" Direction="-60" ShadowDepth="5" Opacity="0.8"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ContextMenu.Resources>
<MenuItem Header="Delete" Name="DeleteMenuItem" Background="White" UsesItemContainerTemplate="True">
<MenuItem Header="DeleteChild" Name="DeleteMenuItem2" Background="White" UsesItemContainerTemplate="True">
</MenuItem>
</MenuItem>
</ContextMenu>
The child items of a MenuItem are displayed in a Popup (can be seen in MenuItem ControlTemplate Example. Thanks to this and snoop the style <Style TargetType="{x:Type PopupRoot}"> should apply the shadow to the child items.
Plan B:
You'll need to add the PresentationFramework.Classic (or another Aero etc.) assembly to the project.

You need to set the Style for the Submenu. Here is a MSDN example. Obviously, just take the code that you need.
