I want to make a button with an image similar to the following:
For which I have written the following in xaml:
<Button
Style="{DynamicResource BotonRedondo2}"
Width ="AUTO"
Cursor="Hand"
Background="#3b5998"
Grid.Column="0">
<StackPanel Width ="Auto" Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Source="/Test;component/Imagenes/face.png"/>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="LOGIN WITH XXXXX" />
<StackPanel>
</Button>
But the result is as follows:
The width of the StackPanel does not match the width of the button.
Any suggestions on how to solve the problem?
Comments or questions are welcome
UPDATE
Maybe I should indicate that the button is in a column of a grid as follows:
<Grid
Grid.Row="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button
Style="{DynamicResource BotonRedondo2}"
Width ="AUTO"
Cursor="Hand"
Background="#3b5998"
Grid.Column="0">
<StackPanel Width ="Auto" Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Source="/Test;component/Imagenes/face.png"/>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="LOGIN WITH XXXXX" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
<Button
Style="{DynamicResource BotonRedondo2}"
Grid.Column="1"
Width ="Auto"
Background="Orange"
Content="LOGIN2"
Margin="3"/>
</Grid>
If I remove "Auto", the button looks like this:
UPDATE
The style that applies to the button is as follows:
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="BotonRedondo2">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="35"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border BorderThickness="0"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
CornerRadius="4">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
StackPanel in Horizontal orientation stacks items next to each other. It basically doesn't care about the HorizontalAlignment of items inside it.
You can use a Grid instead:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Source="/Test;component/Imagenes/face.png"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="LOGIN WITH XXXXX" />
</Grid>
The above will give you the desired look.
You need to remove Width="Auto" from the Button and to set Button's property HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch".
Also, consider using DockPanel or Grid instead of StackPanel:
<Button HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<DockPanel>
<Image Source="/Test;component/Imagenes/face.png"/>
<TextBlock
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Text="LOGIN WITH XXXXX" />
</DockPanel>
</Button>
In the style of the button it should be written like this:
CornerRadius="4">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>

I am trying to implement a button style that has both an image and a caption that are specified when the style is used.
Here is my style:
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid Margin="0,0,0,0" Background="#FF9E9FA3">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="{TemplateBinding Tag}" Grid.Column="0"/>
<Label Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" Grid.Column="1" FontSize="15" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And I am using it like this:
<Button Tag="edit.png" Content="Edit" Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Button Tag="save.png" Content="Save" Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}" Grid.Column="3" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
Content works as expected and two buttons show up with the correct words in the label, but the images do not show up. If I use the ControlTemplate directly in (no style) and replace {TemplateBinding} with the image file name, the images do appear.
Obviously I am using the Tag wrong or the Image wrong.
Help?
It works if you replace
<Image Source="{TemplateBinding Tag}" />
by
<Image Source="{Binding Tag, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
because then the necessary type conversion from string to ImageSource is performed automatically.
I would like to create a style for the tooltip and use it always binding to each button.
I can only do so from XAML?
I have done this for now:
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}" TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Grid Width="200" Height="Auto" MinHeight="80">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="20"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="20"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" FontWeight="Bold"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{Binding Path=TitleTT}"/>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" Source="{Binding Path=ImageTT}"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="2"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{Binding Path=DescriptionTT}"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
Now, I want to build a button in another user control.
What should I do?
What's wrong? why can not join anything?
Thanks for the help.
Code Button:
<Button Name="button_conf" Content="{DynamicResource Button_Confirm}" Margin="18,10"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Click="button_conf_Click">
<Button.ToolTip>
<ToolTip Style=ToolTip TitleTT="{DynamicResource ToolTip_title__confirm_defsce}"
ImageTT="/Images/xsd.jpg" DescriptionTT="The button confirm....:"/>
</Button.ToolTip>
</Button>
I can see at least the following two typos:
1.
<Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}" TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}"
should be
<Style x:Key="ToolTipStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}"
Of course, you can use another name than ToolTipStyle.
2.
<ToolTip Style=ToolTip
should be
<ToolTip Style="{StaticResource ToolTipStyle}"
Apart from that, the properties TitleTT, ImageTT and DescriptionTT do not exist on the ToolTip control.
I have the Rectangle control style (for the type of Rectangle) defined in resource dictionary and it reflects the style for a Menu control also.
How to ignore these settings for Menu and leave it for (just) Rectangle? - Drawing purposes in canvas .... The Rectangle control is added to canvas dynamically from code behind. In main window is dockpanel, grid, menu, textblock and canvas controls. Style for rectangle also harm style properties for Menu (needed to keep the default style).
Thanks for advice
Main window controls:
<DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" LastChildFill="True">
<Grid DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Menu Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="21" Name="menu" Style="{StaticResource ResourceKey=menuStyle}">
<MenuItem Header="File">
<MenuItem Header="Open image" Command="{Binding DoCommand}" CommandParameter="OpenImage"/>
<MenuItem Header="Exit" Command="{Binding DoCommand}" CommandParameter="Exit"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
<RadioButton Margin="5" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Content="Text selection" GroupName="ObjectType" IsChecked="{Binding Path=ObjectType, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource ResourceKey=RadioButtonTypeConverter}, ConverterParameter=Text}" />
<RadioButton Margin="5" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Content="Picture selection" GroupName="ObjectType" IsChecked="{Binding Path=ObjectType, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource ResourceKey=RadioButtonTypeConverter}, ConverterParameter=Picture}" />
</Grid>
<pt:PropertyControl DockPanel.Dock="Right" SelectedObject="{Binding SelectedObject}" MinWidth="150"/>
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Height="100" Margin="5" Background="#FFF9F9F9">
</TextBlock>
<Canvas Name="canvas" MouseLeftButtonDown="Canvas_MouseLeftButtonDown" Background="White" Width="{Binding ElementName=ImgEdit, Path=Width}" Height="{Binding ElementName=ImgEdit, Path=Height}" MinWidth="300" MinHeight="100" VerticalAlignment="Top" MouseMove="canvas_MouseMove" MouseLeftButtonUp="canvas_MouseLeftButtonUp" >
<Image x:Name="ImgEdit" Source="{Binding BackgroundImage}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Canvas>
</DockPanel>
Code of my Style resource dictionary:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}" >

<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.2"/>
<Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="2"/>
<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Red" />

I am having a ribbon application menu that looks like this:
<ribbon:RibbonWindow>
<DockPanel>
<ribbon:Ribbon DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<ribbon:Ribbon.ApplicationMenu>
<ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenu>
<ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem Header="Users"
ImageSource="Users16x16.png"
Command="{Binding FooBinding}"/>
</ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenu>
</ribbon:Ribbon.ApplicationMenu>
</ribbon:Ribbon>
</DockPanel>
</ribbon:RibbonWindow>
The resulting image looks like this, stretched.
So how do I have a ribbon application menu item with a height that adapts to the image size instead of stretching?
Change the control template like:
<ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem Command="{Binding FooBinding}">
<ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Grid >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="Users16x16.png"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1">Users</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem.Template>
</ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem>
If you want to use control template as Style in your dictionary:
<Style x:Key="16x16ImageStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem}">
<Grid >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Stretch="None"
Grid.Column="0" Source="{TemplateBinding ImageSource}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{TemplateBinding Header}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
and recall it in your ribbon:
<ribbon:RibbonApplicationMenuItem Header="Users"
ImageSource="Users16x16.png"
Command="{Binding FooBinding}"
Style="{StaticResource 16x16ImageStyle}"/>
I am modifying the button visual appearance in my XAML code with a hexagon. Now, I want to add 2 lines to the two outer edges of the hexagon like the image below:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=204df65b0e6e1655&resid=204DF65B0E6E1655!117&parid=204DF65B0E6E1655!107&authkey=!AEzKZRmwMNhBWxM
Can anyone tell how and where to add it ? My code is something like this
<Page.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Canvas>
<Polygon Canvas.Top="30" Points=
"430,0
400,32
-30,32
-60,0
-30,-32
400,-32"
Stroke="Brown" StrokeThickness="10"/>
<ContentPresenter Canvas.Left="80" Foreground="White" FontSize="40"></ContentPresenter>
</Canvas>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid Background="Black">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Row="1" Margin="40,-100 0,-50" HorizontalAlignment="Center">Hello World</Button>
</Grid>
I cant get the line to connect to those edges and spread all the way to the page end.
Any idea ?
Do you want this within your button style? I was able to achieve this through the XAML button control template code below.
I put separators in a grid and then put rectangles on top them to add stroke to the image.
I also added an upper margin of 2 onto the polygon to align with the rectangles.
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="500"/>
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Rectangle Fill="White" Grid.Column="0"/>
<Rectangle Fill="White" Grid.Column="2"/>
<Separator Background="White" Grid.Column="0"/>
<Separator Background="White" Grid.Column="2"/>
<Canvas Grid.Column="1" Margin="64,2,0,0">
<Polygon Points=
"430,0
400,32
-30,32
-60,0
-30,-32
400,-32"
Stroke="Brown" StrokeThickness="10"/>
<ContentPresenter Canvas.Left="80" Foreground="White" FontSize="40"/>
</Canvas>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
