April 8, 2023 by Tarik

I have combined some XAML from Josh Smith and MSDN and came up with a solution.

How do I bind to another control’s property from a trigger?

April 1, 2023 by Tarik

You need to specify the trigger as part of a style — the Triggers collection on the Button itself can only contain event triggers. With that in mind, a DataTrigger works fine. However, there is a wrinkle: the value from the Trigger Setter won’t overwrite a local Content property. So you have to set the … Read more

Setting Button FlatStyle in WPF

March 19, 2023 by Tarik

The ToolBar class defines a Style that makes Buttons look flat. An example of using it is: <Button Style=”{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}}”/> This also works for a ToggleButton when using ToggleButtonStyleKey. WPF lets you completely restyle controls to make them look like whatever you want, which is why it doesn’t have such a specific FlatStyle property … Read more
