I've created the following style for buttons in XAML:
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="#FFFEFF" BorderBrush="white" BorderThickness="0.8" CornerRadius="3">
<Button Background="#FFFEFF" Foreground="#009999">
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Button.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect Color="#BABABA" ShadowDepth="2"/>
</Button.Effect>
</Button>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
For some reason, the border changes are not displaying so I cannot change the corner radius. The drop shadow works great. This may be very simple, but I am stumbling through XAML and C# for the first time! I tired listing the border under a different setter in the style, but that only resulted in seeing the border under the squared edges of the button.
It looks like you will need to bring the border effect outside of the button and into the border element itself. By placing the border effect inside of the button, you are causing the effect to conform to the shape of the button, instead of the border, and since the button has square corners, it will always appear square, despite the border corners being rounded. Please see this post for an example: WPF style for buttons.
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="#FFFEFF" BorderBrush="white" BorderThickness="0.8" CornerRadius="3">
<Border.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect Color="#BABABA" ShadowDepth="2"/>
</Border.Effect>
<Button Background="#FFFEFF" Foreground="#009999">
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Button>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

I have the following style that hides or makes invisible at the border of a button:
<Style x:Key="SinBorde" TargetType="{x:Type Button}" >
<Setter Property="Template" >
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="Transparent">
<ContentPresenter/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And the button looks like the one on the left of the next image, notice the button on the right that doesn't have that style applied and the text is in the middle of the button:
Any comments or suggestions how to center text are welcome
default Button template sets alignment for content:
<Style x:Key="SinBorde" TargetType="{x:Type Button}" >
<Setter Property="Template" >
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="Transparent">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I have a ListBoxItem Style that I am trying to modify so that it will show character ellipsis when the list box is made to small. To do that I've had to get rid of the ContentPresenter in our code and replace it with a TextBlock. The ListBoxes that this is applied to are all bound via the ItemSource property.
Here is my code.
<Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,0"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0,0,0,0"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="Bd" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<!-- Before this used to be ContentPresenter but I switched it to TextBlock to get it the TextTrimming property. I can't find the right way to bind the data though.-->
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding DisplayMemberPath}" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
<Rectangle x:Name="HoverRectangle"
Stroke="{StaticResource Gold}"
StrokeDashCap="Square"
StrokeThickness="0"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True" />
<Rectangle x:Name="KeyboardFocusRectangle"
Height="Auto"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
Stroke="{StaticResource BrightBlue}"
StrokeDashCap="Square"
StrokeThickness="0" />
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<!-- Bunch of Triggers in here -->
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
My current TextBlock Text binding (Text="{TemplateBinding DisplayMemberPath}") is not working. What should the binding be in order to work correctly?
Your only reasonable choice here is to assume the data context of the ListBoxItem is a string, or can be displayed as such:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" .../>
I have a button template shown bellow, in this case when the text is entered the button stays the same size, and it works ok. However I want just a border, so when I try to add that ellipse inside the thumb to get the border, and try typing text in the textbox, when the text becomes larger than the button suddenly it covers the button with a white background, i don't know why this is happening, any help would be appreciated.
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Thumb">
<Ellipse Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid>
<Thumb x:Name="outerThumbResize" Cursor="SizeNESW" Background="Red" Height="50" Width="50"/>
<!--<Ellipse x:Name="innerCircle" Fill="White" RenderTransformOrigin=".5,.5">
<Ellipse.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX=".8" ScaleY=".8"/>
</Ellipse.RenderTransform>
</Ellipse>-->
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBox x:Name="textBox" Background="Transparent" BorderThickness="0" Visibility="Collapsed" TextAlignment="Center" PreviewKeyUp="textBox_PreviewKeyUp" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Thumb x:Name="innerThumb" Background="Transparent" DragDelta="nodeThumb_DragDelta" RenderTransformOrigin=".5,.5">
<Thumb.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform ScaleX=".9" ScaleY=".9"/>
</Thumb.RenderTransform>
</Thumb>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
i solved it using the stroke thickness of the ellipse in the template.
I created a button. My basic requirements are rounded thicker border, with more than one color (i.e. for Buy/Sell buttons)
I was hoping that i could create the template once, and than just override the border brush like this:
<Style x:Key="BorderButton">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border BorderThickness="2"
BorderBrush="Red"
CornerRadius="3"
Background="{x:Null}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="GreenBorderButton" BasedOn="{StaticResource BorderButton}" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Green" />
</Style>
but they both produce the same style.
Do i need to write out the whole template every time? seems like unnecessary code repetition (especially if 3-4 colors are desired). Hoping there is some way to inherit a template.
Your code is very close to working; the issue is that GreenBorderButton is applying the BorderBrush to the button itself, not the Border in the overridden Template.
To fix this, simply change the Border's BorderBrush to use the parent Button's BorderBrush. You can do this using a TemplateBinding like so:
<Style x:Key="BorderButton">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="border"
BorderThickness="2"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Property=BorderBrush}"
CornerRadius="3"
Background="{x:Null}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Then, you can either use the same overridden styles like you have, or you could simply do:
<Button Style="{StaticResource BorderButton}" BorderBrush="Blue" Content="Blue" />
need to have flat border style for wpf based textbox... really surprised to see there is no easy way to get this like was in winforms textbox BorderStyle.FixedSingle
is there any easy way to get this done for wpf textbox
The way to do this is to use a control template to draw the border yourself. You can do this in many different ways, heres a couple for you to look at.
The quick hack approach:
<TextBox>
<TextBox.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Grid>
<Rectangle Stroke="{StaticResource ResourceKey=detailMarkBrush}" StrokeThickness="1"/>
<TextBox Margin="1" Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" BorderThickness="0"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</TextBox.Template>
</TextBox>
and then theres using resources...
<ResourceDictionary>
<Color x:Key="detailMark">#FFA1A9B3</Color>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="detailMarkBrush" Color="{StaticResource ResourceKey=detailMark}" />
<Style x:Key="flatTextBox" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Grid>
<Rectangle Stroke="{StaticResource ResourceKey=detailMarkBrush}" StrokeThickness="1"/>
<TextBox Margin="1" Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" BorderThickness="0"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
and then you can use the style:
<TextBox Style="{StaticResource ResourceKey=flatTextBox}" />
<TextBox BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black">
just try this by black or gray
This is better way to me, make a custom template with border, to override the default one.
And most important make ScrollViewer named PART_ContentHost, to fit inner TemplatePart, and for any other features work like default.
simular to example from MSDN:
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBoxBase}">
<Border CornerRadius="2" Padding="2" Background="#19212F" BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="1">
<ScrollViewer Margin="0" x:Name="PART_ContentHost" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
