WPF style/control template reuse - c#

I'm new to WPF, and I would like to know how to reuse some annoying xaml I have to avoid duplicating.
<Button Cursor="Hand" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" x:Name="MyButton" Style="{StaticResource ButtonTemplate}" Width="286" Content="hi!" Focusable="False" IsTabStop="False"/>
<Button Cursor="Hand" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" x:Name="MyButton2" Style="{StaticResource ButtonTemplate}" Width="286" Content="hi 2!" Focusable="False" IsTabStop="False"/>
I'd really like to use something like this template:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" x:Key="ButtonTemplate">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid x:Name="btGrid">
<Path Cursor="Hand" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="{x:Null}" Opacity="0" x:Name="path"/>
<ContentPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" RecognizesAccessKey="True" Visibility="Hidden" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard SlipBehavior="Slip" BeginTime="00:00:00">
<MediaTimeline Source="{Binding StringFormat={}, Path=Name}" Storyboard.TargetName="{Binding StringFormat={}_wma, Path=Name}"/>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="{Binding StringFormat=key{}, Path=Name}" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>
Visible
</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Button.PreviewMouseLeftButtonUp">
<EventTrigger.Actions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="{Binding StringFormat=key{}, Path=Name}" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>
Hidden
</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger.Actions>
</EventTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True"/>
<Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="True"/>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"/>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True"/>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False"/>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And I'd like the {Binding StringFormat={}, Path=Name} to point button's name, e.g. "MyButton", "MyButton2", etc.
When I run this code I get the error "Cannot freeze this Storyboard timeline tree for use across threads." :/ I understand this is because I use binding in a storyboard, correct? I don't know what to do to make this work.
Also, I'd like to make the ToggleVisibility of the image a template as well, that accepts once "Visible" and once "Hidden" values.
Thanks in advance!

You could always define properties other than Template in your style too.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}"
x:Key="ButtonTemplate">
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,0" />
<Setter Property="Width" Value="286" />
<Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
...
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Which makes your code look like
<Button x:Name="MyButton" Style="{StaticResource ButtonTemplate}" Content="hi!" />
<Button x:Name="MyButton2" Style="{StaticResource ButtonTemplate}" Content="hi 2!" />

Yeah creating a style with target type to as button would do the trick.
Tip:It is always a good practice to write all the styling informations such as border, background, templates, etc., under the resource section of your code and apply them on the controls. It'll give good readability.
HTH :)

VisualBrush fade animation

I'm trying to make VisualBrush that automatically fades in/out when set, but unfortunately it doesn't work as it should. Instead of actually fading it disappears or appears right away totally ignoring storyboard - or I'm trying to catch wrong event.
<VisualBrush x:Key="CustomHatchBrush" TileMode="None" Viewport="0,0,100,100" ViewportUnits="Absolute" Viewbox="0,0,100,100" ViewboxUnits="Absolute">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Canvas>
<Canvas.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="FrameworkElement.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.2" From="0" To="1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Opacity)" RepeatBehavior="1x" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="FrameworkElement.Unloaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.2" From="1" To="0" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Opacity)" RepeatBehavior="1x" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Canvas.Triggers>
<Rectangle Canvas.Top="0" Canvas.Left="0" Width="100" Height="100" Fill="Orange" />
<Rectangle Canvas.Top="0" Canvas.Left="0" Width="100" Height="100" Fill="{DynamicResource CaretBrush}" />
</Canvas>
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
I generally want to use it inside Template of ListBoxItem as BorderBrush, something like that:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Border x:Name="ca" BorderThickness="3" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Padding="0">
<Border x:Name="Bd" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="4" Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Padding="0">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiDataTrigger>
<MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Binding="{Binding Prop1}" Value="true"/>
<Condition Binding="{Binding Prop2}" Value="true"/>
</MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="ca" Value="{DynamicResource CustomHatchBrush}"/>
</MultiDataTrigger>
<MultiDataTrigger>
<MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Binding="{Binding Prop1}" Value="true"/>
<Condition Binding="{Binding Prop2}" Value="false"/>
</MultiDataTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="ca" Value="{DynamicResource CustomHatchBrush2}"/>
</MultiDataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Prop1}" Value="false">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="ca" Value="Transparent"/>
</DataTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
I tried many ways of applying storyboard, for example inside bindings, but it always finishes instantly completely ignoring Storyboard duration.
What am I missing? This control works fine in general (objects have name and have multiple instances, so something could go wrong), I just can't create visual effect that I would want to achieve.

Animating SolidColorBrush in Background

I am trying to create a simple button style, that will change the opacity of the background from 0.0 to 1.0 on mouse over (and vice versa). I am creating a template for said button and I am binding all the properties in the template. It all works properly except the SolidColorBrush in background, that I can not bind to the template binding. I've seen some mentions of TemplateBinding not being the right one due to contexts, but I am not able to find another solution. I suspect, there might be a problem of Background being a Brush and I need just a Color component of that brush, but I am not able to obtain it.
The obvious override is to create two template styles with two different colors (which works), but I would like to avoid such hard-coding and copy-paste. What I would like to have is an option to specify Background property on Button, that would be used in SolidColorBrush and then the opacity would do the rest.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" x:Key="WindowButtonStyle">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="46" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="32" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
<Border.Background>
<SolidColorBrush x:Name="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Color="???" Opacity="0.0" />
</Border.Background>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOverAnimation">
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
</Storyboard>
<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOutAnimation">
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="0.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
</Storyboard>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOverAnimation}" />
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOutAnimation}" />
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Then, the button is used like this:
<Button x:Name="MinimizeButton" Style="{StaticResource WindowButtonStyle}" Click="MinimizeButton_Click" Background="Green">
<Image Source="../Resources/WindowButtons/Images/win-minimize.png" Width="12" Height="12"></Image>
</Button>
Added Background="Green" property setting to test it, but did not worked.
You could use a TemplateBinding to bind the Background property of the Border to the Background of the Button and then animate the Opacity property of the SolidColorBrush like this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" x:Key="WindowButtonStyle">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="46" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="32" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="border" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOverAnimation">
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.(SolidColorBrush.Opacity)" To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
</Storyboard>
<Storyboard x:Key="MouseOutAnimation">
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.(SolidColorBrush.Opacity)" To="0.0" Duration="0:0:0.15" />
</Storyboard>
</ControlTemplate.Resources>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOverAnimation}" />
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOutAnimation}" />
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Answering my own, as always - you figure out the solution just after you post on S/O. So I hope it will help someone:
...
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
<Border.Background>
<!-- ReSharper disable once Xaml.BindingWithContextNotResolved -->
<SolidColorBrush x:Name="ButtonBackgroundBrush" Color="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Background.Color}" Opacity="0.0" />
</Border.Background>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}" />
</Border>
...
I've included the ReSharper disable as well, because the warning form ReSharper was what kept me from trying this one - and desperation forced me to try it anyway.

Validation.HasError and custom ToolTip

I'm setting extra ToolTip for a field with errors in ResourceDictionary
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="true">
<Setter Property="ToolTip"
Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
I also defined special style for this tooltip, which simulate the one on red triangle in right upper corner
<Style TargetType="ToolTip">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="HasDropShadow" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Placement" Value="Right"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalOffset" Value="5"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToolTip">
<Border Name="Border"
Background="Red"
Width="{TemplateBinding Width}"
Height="{TemplateBinding Height}">
<ContentPresenter Margin="5 2 5 3"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Opened">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard TargetProperty="HorizontalOffset">
<DoubleAnimation From="0" To="5" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Everything works, but now ALL ToolTips have this style.
Is it possible to achieve that ToolTip style take his part only if Validation.HasError occurs? I can as x:Key, but how to apply that to Style.Triggers part?
Because I have this ToolTip defined also on other controls I wouldn't like to copy all this code multiple times, but if only that is a solution I will do so :(
After another couple of hours of Googling I try the solution provided here
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/10d2ecbf-9e6e-4414-b57e-79dd02e0944e/changing-style-of-tooltip-in-textbox
and it works!
A created ToolTip style
<ToolTip x:Key="ErrorToolTip"
Placement="Right"
Background="Red"
Foreground="White"
BorderThickness="0"
DataContext="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
<ToolTip.Content>
<Binding Path="(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent"/>
</ToolTip.Content>
<ToolTip.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ToolTip.Opened">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard TargetProperty="HorizontalOffset">
<DoubleAnimation From="0" To="5" Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ToolTip.Triggers>
</ToolTip>
and changed Style.Triggers to
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="true">
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{StaticResource ErrorToolTip}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
Need to do some more styling, but it's OK for now.
You can set the property Validation.ErrorTemplate on the TextBox style:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="Validation.ErrorTemplate"
Value="{StaticResource ValidationTemplate}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError"
Value="true">
<Setter Property="ToolTip"
Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
However, this way you can't work with a ToolTip style, but you have to work with a template and a x:Key.
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ValidationTemplate">
<Border Name="Border"
Background="Red"
Width="{TemplateBinding Width}"
Height="{TemplateBinding Height}">
<ContentPresenter Margin="5 2 5 3"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Opened">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard TargetProperty="HorizontalOffset">
<DoubleAnimation From="0" To="5" Duration="0:0:0.1" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>

Animate button background color in XAML

I new to WPF and XAML, so I have ResourceDictionary (one button for now):
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Style x:Key="ButtonProduct" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Name="Border"
CornerRadius="0"
BorderThickness="0"
Focusable="False"
BorderBrush="Transparent" Background="White">
<ContentPresenter Margin="2" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" RecognizesAccessKey="True"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#52b0ca"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
On hover the color of the button changes, but how can I make change in fade in and out, for smooth transition of the color?
You can use EventTrigger to start ColorAnimation on MouseEnter and MouseLeave:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Name="Border" CornerRadius="0" BorderThickness="0" Focusable="False" BorderBrush="Transparent" Background="White">
<ContentPresenter Margin="2" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" RecognizesAccessKey="True"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation From="White" To="#52b0ca" Duration="0:0:1" Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseLeave">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation From="#52b0ca" To="White" Duration="0:0:1" Storyboard.TargetName="Border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>

WPF Storyboard - Offset Textblock

I'm new to WPF and have been looking at a lot of articles and videos but I've been unable to find a solution. What I have is a button which displays an image and text within a stackpanel. I would like to make ONLY the textblock move one pixel to the right and down when the button is pressed but I cant seem to figure out a way to target only the TextBlock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS
<Style x:Key="appFlatButtonLarge" TargetType="{x:Type localUI:ImageButton}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="23"/>
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="75"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource appPrimaryBackColorDark}" />
<Setter Property="Template">

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type localUI:ImageButton}">
<Border Name="Border" BorderBrush="LightGray" BorderThickness="1" Background="White" >
<StackPanel Name="Panel" Height="Auto" Orientation="Horizontal" Background="Transparent">

Just use a TranslateTransform animation. make sure to use RenderTransform and not LayoutTransform as LayoutTransform will actually change the Layout which might not be desirable when the parent of your TextBlock and Image is a StackPanel
So in your Style if I switch the ControlTemplate definition to:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type localUI:ImageButton}">
<Border x:Name="Border"
Background="White"
BorderBrush="LightGray"
BorderThickness="1">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver" />
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ibTextBlock"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.X)">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="5" />
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ibTextBlock"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.Y)">
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="5" />
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled" />
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<StackPanel x:Name="Panel"
Height="Auto"
Background="Transparent"
Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Name="ibImage"
Width="Auto"
Height="Auto"
Margin="5"
RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="NearestNeighbor"
RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased"
Source="{TemplateBinding ImageSource}"
Stretch="None" />
<TextBlock x:Name="ibTextBlock"
Margin="5,0,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="12"
FontWeight="Bold"
RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
Text="{TemplateBinding Content}">
<TextBlock.RenderTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform />
<SkewTransform />
<RotateTransform />
<TranslateTransform />
</TransformGroup>
</TextBlock.RenderTransform>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
...
you should get what you're after.
Note
In both the Animation steps I've set
<EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="5" />
you can change the Value to "1" or whatever you desire.
You could change the Margin-Property of your TextBlock with the same trigger that changes the BorderBrush.
Say you set Margin = "2,2,2,2" initially, and then you set it to "3,2,1,2" when the button is pressed.
Your TextBlock will 'move' by 1/96 inch (usually, you don't pixel in WPF).
You can also use negative margins, if needed.
