I am working on application and one requirement is to change the image of the button on mouse hover.
Below is my code for button,
<Grid Margin="0 20 0 0" Name="ButtonsGrid" Width="300">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button x:Name="AnswerButton" Style="{StaticResource hover2}" Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Width="60" Height="60" Background="Transparent" IsEnabled="False" Click="AnswerButton_OnClick" BorderBrush="Transparent" BorderThickness="0" >
<Image Source="/Training.Project.Demo;component/Images/Answer.PNG" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
</Button>
And below is the style i am applying,
<Style x:Key="hover2" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<ContentPresenter.Content>
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="0"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Image x:Name="ButtonImage1" Source="/Training.Project.Demo;component/Images/Answer.PNG" Height="17" Width="17" />
</Border>
</ContentPresenter.Content>
</ContentPresenter>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
<Setter TargetName="ButtonImage1" Property="Source" Value="/Training.Project.Demo;component/Images/answer-hover.PNG" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I am not sure what wrong am i doing but the above code is not working.
Any help would be appreciated
Remove IsEnabled="True" and define the Border element in the ControlTemplate itself and not in a ContentPresenter:
<Style x:Key="hover2" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="0"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Image x:Name="ButtonImage1" Source="/Training.Project.Demo;component/Images/Answer.PNG" Height="17" Width="17" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter TargetName="ButtonImage1" Property="Source" Value="/Training.Project.Demo;component/Images/answer-hover.PNG" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
XAML:
<Button x:Name="AnswerButton" Style="{StaticResource hover2}" Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Width="60" Height="60" Background="Transparent" Click="AnswerButton_OnClick" BorderBrush="Transparent" BorderThickness="0" >
<Image Source="/Training.Project.Demo;component/Images/Answer.PNG" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
</Button>
If you want a ContentPresenter, you should replace the its Content in the trigger:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="0"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="cp" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter TargetName="cp" Property="Content">
<Setter.Value>
<Image Source="/Training.Project.Demo;component/Images/answer-hover.PNG" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
The IsMouseOver property is never set to true if the Button is disabled.

Can someone help me get this Combobox to change the borderthickness when IsFocus=True?
I've tried several different things in the past two hours but can't seem to get it to work.
I know I have to set the triggers...
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2,2,2,2"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
But can't seem to figure out where to set them.
Also ignore the colors. they are all set at run time or upon user change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You must modify the ToggleButton template. The ToggleButton is responsible for the border. You have currently set the BorderThickness to a fixed value. Simply bind it to the parent ComboBox:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxToggleButton" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition Width="20" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!-- The outer border enclosing the complete ComboBox -->
<Border x:Name="Border"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2" CornerRadius="6"
Background="{DynamicResource KeyBrushCBBorderBG}" BorderBrush="{DynamicResource KeyBrushCBBorder}"
BorderThickness="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ComboBox}, Path=BorderThickness}" />
<!-- The inner border enclosing the TextBox -->
<Border Grid.Column="0" CornerRadius="4" Margin="1" Background="{DynamicResource KeyBrushCBBorderBG}" BorderBrush="{DynamicResource KeyBrushCBBorder}" BorderThickness="0,1,0,1" />
<Path x:Name="Arrow" Grid.Column="1" Fill="{DynamicResource KeyBrushButtonForeground}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Data="M0,0 L0,2 L4,6 L8,2 L8,0 L4,4 z" Stroke="{DynamicResource KeyBrushCBForeGround}"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
Bind other properties like BorderBrush and other propertries you want to control from the ComboBox element the same way.
I have a weird problem,
My DatePicker shows in the middle some borders. I don't know where it comes from.
I changed every property of the DatePickerTextBox but it doesn't change anything.
Here is the XAML :
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Border x:Name="MainBorder" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="5">
<Grid x:Name="PART_Root" Margin="2">

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

BorderThickness="0"
BorderBrush="Transparent"

Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
Visibility="Visible"
SelectionBrush="#FF6F5DF5"
FocusVisualStyle="{x:Null}"
Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,3,0,0">
<DatePickerTextBox.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="TextBox.BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</DatePickerTextBox.Style>
</DatePickerTextBox>
<Button x:Name="PART_Button" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,0.333,0.333" Width="24">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Image Source="Resources/Images/down.png"></Image>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
<Popup x:Name="PART_Popup" StaysOpen="False" AllowsTransparency="True" Margin="0,0,0.333,0.333" />

<Setter TargetName="PART_TextBox" Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property = "BorderBrush" Value="{Binding ToYourBorder}"/>

</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<DatePicker Margin="10,260,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Uid="Date de naissance *" FontSize="12" Height="40" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="181" FontFamily="Poppins" Background="#FFFEFEFE" BorderBrush="#FF9A9A9A" Foreground="#FF727272" />
And here how it seems :
And on hover, there is another thin border inside :
Any idea, please?
DatePickerTextBox has it's own Template where the border and the triggers for the border are defined/hardcoded.
You need to take care of those in the template of DatePickerTextBox.
Change:
<DatePickerTextBox.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="TextBox.BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</DatePickerTextBox.Style>
To:
<DatePickerTextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_TextBox" BorderThickness="0"
Text="{Binding Path=SelectedDate, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type DatePicker}}}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DatePickerTextBox.Style>
And it should work.

Hello Im trying to override the default mouseover event on WPF.
I have managed to work that out, but now having a problem displaying any Text content
Style Setter:
<Style x:Key="MyButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand"/>
<Setter Property="Content" Value="Submit" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="Border" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="White" Background="#FF7AB800" Height="24" Margin="0,0,0.2,0" />
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" >
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Heres my button code:
<Button x:Name="submitBtn" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="402,296,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Foreground="Black" FontFamily="Calibri Light" FontSize="16" Style="{StaticResource MyButton}" Content="Submit"/>
You're missing the ContentPresenter. Also, I would recommend removing setting the content value from the style directly. You'd want to do this from within the control itself.
<Style x:Key="MyButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>

Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True" >
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="75"
Foreground="Black"
FontFamily="Calibri Light"

tyle="{StaticResource MyButton}"
Content="Submit"/>
First of all, you need to add x: type
<Style x:Key="MyButton" TargetType="x:Type Button">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True"/>
<Border Name="Border" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="White" Background="#FF7AB800" Height="24" Margin="0,0,0.2,0" />
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="x:Type Button">

If I can achieve the look displayed in the screenshot without having to overload the tab item control template then I don't have an issue as the default tab item template doesn't have the line underneath it on the selected tab. I haven't been able to do this so far. Thanks for your help.
The XAML below is how I have overridden the TabControl to solve this problem. The key piece of info is the Margin property of the HeaderPanel. You will see that the bottom margin is -1, which shifts it down just enough to cover up that line.
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TabControl}">
<Grid KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TabPanel x:Name="HeaderPanel"
Grid.Row="0"
Panel.ZIndex="1"
Margin="0,0,4,-1"
IsItemsHost="True"
KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex="1"
Background="Transparent" />
<Border x:Name="Border"
Grid.Row="1"
BorderThickness="1"
KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local"
KeyboardNavigation.DirectionalNavigation="Contained"
KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex="2">
<Border.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="White"/>
</Border.Background>
<Border.BorderBrush>
<SolidColorBrush Color="White"/>
</Border.BorderBrush>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="PART_SelectedContentHost"
Margin="4"
ContentSource="SelectedContent" />
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Add property Padding="0,0,0,0" to tab control :-)
Instead of modifying tabcontrol template, you may as well just modify the TabItem template, by adding two lines to cover up the border, and using minus margins for covering up.
(Please take a look at "TopLineCover" and "BottomLineCover" borders.)
<Style TargetType="TabItem" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TabItem}}">

In the past I've accomplished this by making the TabItem extend a little further down then it's allocated, so its actually drawn on top of the border element and hides it
I can't remember how I did it exactly, but I think it was with a negative margin on the bottom of the TabItem
I am attempting to create a Tab Control Style that basically looks like buttons at the top that are centered and content panel below that displays the tabitem content.
I have am kind of new to templates but what I have so far works very well except one thing. I want to be able to set the default forground color for text elements. Normally I have accomplished this by using the ContentPresenter with dependency elements. So something like this.
<ContentPresenter TextElement.Foreground="White"/>
This basically makes any TextElement Control written by this Presenter to inherit this property.
Now I am trying to do the same thing but it's not working! I believe it has something to do with my style being wrong.

In my ContentPresenter under ItemContainerStyle has the TextElement.Foreground="White" property but it will not print white text!
My tabcontrol that uses this style looks like this:
<TabControl Grid.Row="2" Style="{StaticResource MainMenuTab}">
<TabItem>
<TabItem.Header>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,5" Text="{x:Static UIStrings:ClientStrings.MainWindow_TabHeader_SingleWaveLength}"></TextBlock>
</TabItem.Header>
<TextBlock>TEST PANEL</TextBlock>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
I know this is compicated but I would really love this to work.
Solution Found.
Based on HCL's post, I have found a solution. I am experiance the same exact problem I am trying to have the content presenter set the inherited dependence property. instead I simple tell the template to apply the dependance property, that way each tabitem is styled to have this property and therefore sets it for all it's children.
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Style TargetType="TabItem">
<Setter Property="TextElement.Foreground" Value="White"/>
