I can do the watermark text/placeholder on a WPF textbox control by using the below XAML code.
<TextBox Name="txtFilter" Grid.Row="1" Height="25" Width="250" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5,0,0,0" TextChanged="txtFilter_TextChanged">
<TextBox.Style>
<Style BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TextBox}}" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Border Background="White" CornerRadius="5" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" />
<TextBlock x:Name="textBlock" VerticalAlignment="Center" Opacity="0.5" Text=" Search by Customer Name " Foreground="Blue" FontStyle="Italic" Visibility="Hidden" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsFocused" Value="False" />
<Condition Property="Text" Value="" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="textBlock" Value="Visible" />
</MultiTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>
But how it is possible for a WPF Combo box control ? I tried with the below shown XAML code. But it is not working.
<ComboBox.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="HelpBrush" TileMode="None" Opacity="0.4" Stretch="None" AlignmentX="Left">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<TextBlock FontStyle="Italic" Opacity="0.5" Text="Type or select from list" Foreground="Blue" Visibility="Visible"/>
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</ComboBox.Resources>
<ComboBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="ComboBox">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource HelpBrush}"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource HelpBrush}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ComboBox.Style>
Can anyone help me to place a watermark text on a WPF Combobox control ???

I have TabControl:
<TabControl x:Name="tabControl" BorderThickness="0" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Margin="0,5,0,0">

How can I set the background image that will shown when all tabs is closed I try to use
<TabControl.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="/Images/BGI.png" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None" />
</TabControl.Background>
But then I dont see background color...
I have a rounded border around a textbox. When displaying it, the horizontal top and bottom lines of the textbox are shown despite setting "BorderThickness" property to 0 and "BorderBrush" to transparent. How can I do borders for textbox to be not shown?
Below the code:
<Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"
BorderBrush="DarkBlue"
BorderThickness="0.8"
CornerRadius="5"
Margin="5,10,3,10"
Height="Auto" Width="Auto"
Background="AliceBlue"
HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<TextBox x:Name="txtSearch"
Width="250"
Style="{StaticResource WatermarkedTextBox}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
BorderThickness="0"
Margin="1"/>
</Border>
Any ideas why textbox borders are being displayed?
ATTEMPT #1:
I have found that the culprit is the style attached, that is the static resource WatermarkedTextBox which is as follows:
<Style x:Key="WatermarkedTextBox" TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
<Grid>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Text, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{TemplateBinding Tag}"
Margin="5,0,5,0"
Foreground="#FF808080"
FontStyle="Italic"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
x:Name="UserMessage"
Visibility="Hidden"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Text" Value=""/>
<Condition Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin" Value="False"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="UserMessage" Value="Visible"/>
</MultiTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
So how can I solve this?
The culprit was the border of the textbox set in the style "WatermarkedTextbox" so setting BorderThickness property to 0 is working now:
<Style x:Key="WatermarkedTextBox" TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
<Grid>
<TextBox BorderThickness="0"
Text="{Binding Text, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{TemplateBinding Tag}"
Margin="5,0,5,0"
Foreground="#FF808080"
FontStyle="Italic"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
x:Name="UserMessage"
Visibility="Hidden"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Text" Value=""/>
<Condition Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin" Value="False"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="UserMessage" Value="Visible"/>
</MultiTrigger>

You will need to define a new ControlTemplate for your ComboBox control. You can find out how to define a new ControlTemplate in the Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Using a ControlTemplate article on MSDN. A good place to start is by implementing the default ControlTemplate and then customising it as you see fit. You can find the default ControlTemplate of the ComboBox in the ComboBox Styles and Templates page on MSDN.
As a start point, find the following controls from the default ControlTemplate in the linked page on MSDN:
<ToggleButton x:Name="ToggleButton"
Template="{StaticResource ComboBoxToggleButton}"
Grid.Column="2"
Focusable="false"
ClickMode="Press"
IsChecked="{Binding IsDropDownOpen, Mode=TwoWay,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentSite"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemTemplate}"
ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplateSelector}"
Margin="3,3,23,3"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalAlignment="Left">
</ContentPresenter>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_EditableTextBox"
Style="{x:Null}"
Template="{StaticResource ComboBoxTextBox}"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
Margin="3,3,23,3"
Focusable="True"
Background="Transparent"
Visibility="Hidden"
IsReadOnly="{TemplateBinding IsReadOnly}" />
The ToggleButton is clearly the Button within the ComboBox control, the ContentSite ContentPresenter is where the selected item is displayed next to the Button and the PART_EditableTextBox TextBox is the editable TextBox used when the control is set to IsEditable="True". If you can write XAML, then you can simply arrange these inner controls to suit your requirements.
UPDATE >>>
In order to rotate a control, the simplest way is to use a RotateTransform... try this:
<Path x:Name="Arrow" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Data="M 0 0 L 4 4 L 8 0 Z" >
<Path.Fill>
<SolidColorBrush Color="{DynamicResource GlyphColor}"/>
</Path.Fill>
<Path.LayoutTransform>
<RotateTransform Angle="90" />
</Path.LayoutTransform>
</Path>
UPDATE 2 (and hopefully last one) >>>
The ComboBox pop up is a Popup control, so to find out how to open it to the right, you need to research how to open a Popup to the right. For that, I'd take a look at the Positioning the Popup section of the Popup Placement Behavior page on MSDN.
Now, please bear in mind that we are not here to do all of your work for you. I feel I have armed you with more than enough information for you to complete your custom ComboBox control. Good luck.

I am trying to recreate the Mail UI from Windows 8 in a WPF application running on Windows 7. Here's what I want to achieve:
In particular, I don't know how to change the background color for selected items e.g. the Inbox item in the first column and the mail from Twitter in the second column. I have tried several solutions from other similar Stackoverflow Questions but none seem to work for me. e.g.
Selected item loses style when focus moved out in WPF ListBox
WPF ListView Inactive Selection Color
Here is the code I have for my listview:
<ListView Grid.Row="0" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=SelectedArea}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Areas}" Background="#DCE3E5" >
<ListView.Resources>
<!-- Template that is used upon selection of an Area -->
<ControlTemplate x:Key="SelectedTemplate" TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Border Background="#388095" Cursor="Hand" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="5" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<!-- Base Template that is replaced upon selection -->
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Border Background="#DCE3E5" Cursor="Hand" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="5" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="true" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource SelectedTemplate}" />
</MultiTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListView.Resources>
</ListView>
How can I change the background color of the selected item? And how do I retain the color change when the focus changes.
I did something similar to this recently:
<ListView.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="SelectedTemplate" TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Border CornerRadius="5" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="DarkGray" Background="#FF92C6F9" Padding="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5" Tag="{Binding Value}" Cursor="Hand" MouseUp="Border_MouseUp_1">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="5" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Border CornerRadius="5" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="DarkGray" Background="WhiteSmoke" Padding="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5" Tag="{Binding Value}" Cursor="Hand" MouseUp="Border_MouseUp_1" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Margin="5" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="true" />
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelectionActive" Value="true" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource SelectedTemplate}" />
</MultiTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ListView.Resources>
I believe removing:
<Condition Property="Selector.IsSelectionActive" Value="true" />
will allow you to keep the background color after focus is lost.
EDIT:
In response to your question below:
You can bind the tag property of the TextBlock to the command parameter, and then execute the command on the MouseUp event of the TextBlock:
<TextBlock x:Name="MyTextBlock" Text="Click Me!" Tag="{Binding MyCommandParameter}" MouseUp="MyTextBlock_MouseUp" />
And in the code behind:
private void MyTextBlock_MouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
TextBlock tb = sender as TextBlock;
if (tb != null && tb.Tag != null)
{
ViewModel.MyCommand.Execute(tb.Tag);
}
}
Just adding to "TrueEddie" point.
The other option would be "ItemContainerStyle" in ListView.
<ListView Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
BorderThickness="0"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListViewSmartNotes}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedSmartNotes, Mode=TwoWay}"
ItemsSource="{Binding LstSmartNotes, Mode=TwoWay}"
ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource ListViewItemOptionStyle}">
</ListView>
ListViewItemOptionStyle defined in Style.xml
<Style x:Key="ListViewItemOptionStyle" TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<!-- Trun off default selection-->
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Border x:Name="Bd" BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="0,1,0,1"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<ContentPresenter

</Border>

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>

I don't see targetname in your code. Start removing pieces of the style until it compiles to narrow down the issue.
