Styling Multiple Menus in WPF - c#

I'm new to WPF and am trying to figure out how to customize menus for a Windows 7 touch screen application. I'm using the xaml below that was taken from another question on StackOverflow to style one of the menus. I now want to style another menu that will be used in a different way. How would I style another menu of the same type?
If the answer should be simple / something I should be able to figure out, please post a link to where I can read on how to do this type of thing. I've been reviewing MSDN for a while now and while I'm reading all sorts of stuff I already know, I'm not seeing anything helpful for me here. (Sorry, just discouraged by the constant battle to find basic information I need to complete a simple task.)

Give your styles different keys:
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle1">
</Style>
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle2">
</Style>
You then need to specify which style you want your ContextMenu to use
<ContextMenu Style="{StaticResource MyStyle1}"></ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu Style="{StaticResource MyStyle2}"></ContextMenu>
If you had any shared style for these ContextMenus, you could do this:
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="BaseStyle"></Style
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle1" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
</Style>
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle2" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
</Style>
MyStyle1 and MyStyle2 would then inherit any styles from BaseStyle
All the information I provided could be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745683(v=vs.110).aspx

I ended up defining the styles for the child objects in the styles style.resources.
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="UserMenu">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>

Currently, the selected row color is white or transperent. So i cant see the selected row details.
You can change the color of the selected row by using triggers.As shown in the datagridrow style. Set the color to the background property of parent control (i.e Grid as TargetName) when row is selected .
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Grid x:Name="selectedRow">
<DataGridCellsPresenter
ItemsPanel="{TemplateBinding ItemsControl.ItemsPanel}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding UIElement.SnapsToDevicePixels}"
Grid.Column="1" />
<DataGridDetailsPresenter
Visibility="{TemplateBinding DataGridRow.DetailsVisibility}"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="1"
SelectiveScrollingGrid.SelectiveScrollingOrientation="Both" />
<DataGridRowHeader
Visibility="Visible"
Grid.RowSpan="2"
SelectiveScrollingGrid.SelectiveScrollingOrientation="Vertical" />
</SelectiveScrollingGrid>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource ApplicationAccentBrushSecondary}" TargetName="selectedRow" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
In my project, I did as followed:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}" BasedOn="{StaticResource DataGridCell}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource DataGridCellBackgroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource DataGridBorderBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<!-- IsSelected -->
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource BlackBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Controls:DataGridCellHelper.IsCellOrRowHeader" Value="True" />
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="True" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource DataGridCellBackgroundBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource DataGridCellBackgroundBrush}" />
</MultiTrigger>
//others properties
DataGridCellBackgroundBrush and DataGridBorderBrush is my color predefined

Adjust dropdown arrow margin of WPF TreeView

I have a TreeView which simplified is defined as
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding TreeItems}">
<TreeView.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type models:MyModel}">
<Border Margin="{Binding Margin}" >
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" Margin="3,3,3,3" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
It looks like this
As you can see due to the Margin, which is variable, there is space between the items. The problem is the dropdown arrow. It is not centered on the element. Well, it is centered on the element ignoring the margin. How do I adjust the arrow?
Your XAML markup is both incomplete and incorrect: the DataTemplate should be a HierarchicalDataTemplate and it should be placed in a <TreeView.ItemTemplate> tag. This doesn't apply after your edit.
You can apply the margin to the complete TreeViewItem content including the dropdown arrow:
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="TreeViewItem">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="{Binding Margin}"/>
</Style>
</TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding SubItems}">
<Border>
<Grid>
<TextBlock Margin="3,3,3,3"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>
Yes, I know the style below is too lengthy, but give it a try.
Just put it in a separate resource dictionary and merge it.

Use given style for TreeViewItem like give below
<Style TargetType="TreeViewItem" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TreeViewItem}}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="3,3,3,3"></Setter>
</Style>
Hope this help.
To add a margin to the ToggleButton in a TreeView, you have to add a custom ControlTemplate. There are several good tutorials on MSDN, for example here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms788727(v=vs.85).aspx
I stripped one example down to the necessary elements to match your requirements. Please note, that the ToggleButton is this example is not styled at all, so it appears a normal Button would do. But I am sure, you find several good examples on how to style this Button in a way that suites you the best.
The code:
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TreeViewItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
<Grid Margin="{Binding Margin}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="20" Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ToggleButton Grid.Column="0" x:Name="Expander" ClickMode="Press" IsChecked="{Binding IsExpanded, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" />

You should be able to do just this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TreeViewItem}}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,0" />
<!--Or edit Padding if Margin doesn't work-->
</Style>
It will use default style of a TreeViewItem and edit only defined properties. If you use explicitly defined style for TreeViewItem, use BaseOn="{StaticResource [YourStyleKey]}" (without [ ]).
If you need some more advanced styling I'd suggest you to use Blend to get the ControlTemplate of a TreeViewItem, then just edit it to your needs, without changing too much (keep in mind that names of controls used as a template may have a crucial meaning, so be careful what you are editing).
If you don't know how to use Blend to get your control's template, here is a simple tutorial described in a documentation of Telerik controls (don't worry, it works the same for all controls). You just need to create copy of a TreeViewItem ControlTemplate, paste it to your application and you are good to go (editing).
By using Blend you can get templates of all building blocks of a TreeView control and make them look like you want them to. You just need to do some digging.

<!-- Design des contextmenu-->
And in my code :
MenuItem mySubItem = new MenuItem() { Header = "SubItem" };
mySubItem .Style = (Style)this.FindResource("MenuItemStyle");
mySubItem.Click += mySubItem _Click;
MenuItem m2 = new MenuItem();
m2.Header = LibLOCA.Localisation.GetStringFromResources("OPTION_MENU");
m2.Style = (Style)this.FindResource("MenuItemStyle");
m2.Click += m2_Click;
m2.Items.Add(mySubItem );
contextMenu.Items.Add(m2);
The ContextMenu looks OK, and I can click on both menuItems, but if I click on the subItem :
The application will call "mySubItem_click" and then it will also call "m2_click".
Why is "m2_click" called even though I didn't click on the menu Item associated with it ?
Is there a problem with my template or with my code ?
Thank you :)
You have to handle the subitem so that it doesn't bubble up the event to the Parent menu item.
On the click event handler
The RoutedEventArgs has a property called Handled set it to true

How to change WPF ComboBox SelectedText BackGround Color?

I have a Combobox in WPF-MVVM and i have styled the combobox with changes in the popdown box and textbox of combobox.
When i scroll the combobox listitem thier background is pink is what i have chnaged. But after selecting a item from the combobox list, the selected value in combobox item has blue background. which is the default for a combobbox in both Windows Form and WPF.
See the image for more details.
How can i change that selectedtext background color in the combobox textbox control
The combobox has
IsEditable=True property set
You can do this:
<ComboBox.Resources>
<!--Selected color when the ComboBox is focused-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
<!--Selected color when the ComboBox is not focused-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
<!--selected text-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="Yellow" />
</ComboBox.Resources>
(tested on ListBox but should work)
Another way is setting the ItemContainerStyle property of the ComboBox, and have a trigger depended on the current ComboBoxItem selection state:
<ComboBox>
<ComboBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ComboBoxItem}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ComboBox.Resources>
<ComboBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ComboBoxItem" x:Key="ContainerStyle">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

In your PART_EditableTextBox the SelectionBrush property controls this background for the selected item. In the code below I set it to be transparent so it will not highlight.

Why are setters for Backgroud and BorderBrush not working(ItemContainerStyle)? I had to hide selection using redefinition for system Brushes, but its wrong way:
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="#00000000"/>
How could I set BorderBrush for ItemBorder (on mouseOver event)?
How could I set BorderBrush for ItemBorder(only for selected Items)?
What shall I do to change default selection style?
I'd found answer by myself.
To set style for ItemBorder I had to create few DataTriggers and put them into DataTemplate:
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type ListViewItem}},Path=IsSelected}" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="ItemBorder" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Lime"/>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type ListViewItem}}, Path=IsMouseOver}" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="ItemBorder" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Orange"/>
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
About question 1 and 4 I still haven't answer...(If I won't count way to change default system brushes)
