I have changed the styles of my Buttons in WPF. All that is working as intended, but is there a way to get the classic hotkey underscore that you display by pressing ALT to display? If I put an underscore in the Button text, it always displays it.
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource THFont}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#f00000" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10 0 10 0" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="border" CornerRadius="10" BorderBrush="#f00000" BorderThickness="1" Background="#f00000">
<Grid>
<TextBlock Name="TextBlock" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontSize="12" Margin="10 0 10 0" Text="{TemplateBinding Button.Content}" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border" Value="#BD0000" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="border" Value="#BD0000" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Your template should include a ContentPresenter:
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource THFont}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#f00000" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10 0 10 0" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="border" CornerRadius="10" BorderBrush="#f00000" BorderThickness="1" Background="#f00000">
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" TextElement.FontSize="12" Margin="10 0 10 0"
Focusable="False" RecognizesAccessKey="True"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border" Value="#BD0000" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="border" Value="#BD0000" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

I have a button that I need to change the background and foreground color of when the button is in focus. I have the background color change working, but cannot get the foreground color change (on the label) to work.
I want to do this in XAML only.
My Button:
<Button Style="{StaticResource ModButtonWhite}"
Name="btnConnect"
Height="30"
Click="btnConnect_Click"
Width="75"
Margin="0,0,15,0">
<Label Name ="btnConnectLabel" Content="Re-_Connect" />
</Button>
My Style:
<Style TargetType="Button"
x:Key="ModButtonWhite">
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
CornerRadius="5"
BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="White">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Button.IsFocused"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="DeepSkyBlue" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="White" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="DeepSkyBlue" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Opacity"
Value=".4" />
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="DeepSkyBlue" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
All you need to do is to bind the Label.Foreground to the Button.Foreground. No need of any additional styles defined in the Style.Resources dictionary. Just the plain style to override the Button.Template:
<Window>
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Button"
x:Key="ModButtonWhite">
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
CornerRadius="5"
BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="White">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Button.IsFocused"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="DeepSkyBlue" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Button Style="{StaticResource ModButtonWhite}">
<Label Content="Click me!"
Foreground="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Button}, Path=Foreground}" />
</Button>
</Window>
I have a close button. My requirement is that when a user mouse goes over the button the button background color will change.
I have a path inside the button for "X" symbol. When mouseover the path is the background is changing is working correctly. But very near to mouse over the path then only the background color is changed.
So please could anyone suggest how to resolve this,
MyStyleCode:
<Style x:Key="closeButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="LightGray" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource ForegroundBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="bd">
<Path Margin="0"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Data="M0,0 L8,8 M8,0 L0,8"
Stroke="White"
StrokeThickness="2" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="bd" Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="bd" Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="bd" Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Button
<Button Grid.Column="1"
Width="40"
Height="25"
Margin="0,0,5,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
Style="{StaticResource closeButtonStyle}"
ToolTip="Close" />
Try setting the Style.Triggers for your Button. Not to your Content alone (Path for your case). Like,
<Style x:Key="closeButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="LightGray" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource ForegroundBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="bd" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Path Margin="0"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Data="M0,0 L8,8 M8,0 L0,8"
Stroke="Black"
StrokeThickness="2" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Button.IsPressed" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
I have the below code where I'm trying to change the background color of the button when its disabled. But it still stays at the same background color as it is when its enabled. Its not changing though the button does get disabled. Any help would be much appreciated.
<Button Content="Install" Command="{Binding InstallCommand}" Margin="150,30,30,22" Width="118" FontSize="18" FontWeight="Bold" FontFamily="Segoe UI Light" FontStretch="ExtraExpanded">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF4F4F4F"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="1"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Goldenrod"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding InstallEnabled, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" Value="">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource windowBGBrushBusinessDateChanged}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
I found that in your trigger you are not checking the value .Change your trigger as below.
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding InstallEnabled, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource windowBGBrushBusinessDateChanged}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
You can change the disabled button background by changing the control template of button like below,
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="MyButton2" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="MediumAquamarine" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="MediumBlue" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="MyContentPresenter"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="DeepPink" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Button x:Name="disabledButton"
Width="100"
Height="100"
Content="Button State"
IsEnabled="False"
Style="{StaticResource MyButton2}" />
</Grid>
Hello guys I'm new to WPF and XAML.
I'm stuck on changing the button background, image, colour or whatever, it just keeps being white.
It just shows the background when I double click on it in the visual editor so I can type some text on it, then it becomes white again.
Any clue about what I'm doing wrong?
<Button Margin="5,-7,5,-1" Width="59" Content="{Binding PlayContent}" x:Name="PlayPause" HorizontalAlignment="Center" cal:Bind.AtDesignTime="True">
<Button.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="resources/main_play_normal.png"/>
</Button.Background>
</Button>
thanks
You just need to use style and template to modify your button behavior.
Here is a Metro Style for WPF Button try to use it :
<Style
x:Key="ButtonFocusVisual">
<Setter
Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle Margin="2" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Stroke="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" StrokeThickness="1" StrokeDashArray="1 2" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="MetroButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource ButtonFocusVisual}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#EEEEEEEE"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="10 5"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="14" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Border
x:Name="Border"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" />
<ContentPresenter
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
RecognizesAccessKey="True" />
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="OpacityMask" Value="#AA888888"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="2 1" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<!--<Setter Property="Background" Value="DimGray"/>-->
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#ADADAD"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
EDIT
Try to use this style:
<Style x:Key="GreenButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="2"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" >
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,1" >
<GradientStop Color="#FF3F9542" Offset="0.85"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="0"
Padding="4,2"
BorderBrush="LightGray"
CornerRadius="2"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid >
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="contentShadow" >
</ContentPresenter>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="content"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF4788c8" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF429C46"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsDefaulted" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF282828" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF282828" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="Opacity" Value="0.7" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Then you just apply that style like this :
<Button x:Name="m_Button" Height="35" Content="Submit" Style="{StaticResource GreenButton}" IsEnabled="True" Click="m_Button_Click"/>
*If want to set image as background use
<Button x:Name="bt_cam" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5,-7,5,-1" Height="80"Width="59" VerticalAlignment="Top" Click="Button_Click" >
<Button.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect Opacity="0.3" ShadowDepth="12" />
</Button.Effect>
<StackPanel>
<Image x:Name="cam" Source="resources/main_play_normal.png" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
If want to set background color,then remove the stackpannel and add background color on
button
You need to change your code like this,
<Button Margin="5,-7,5,-1" Width="59" x:Name="PlayPause">
<Image Source="resources/main_play_normal.png"/>
</Button>
i've a Button like this
<Button Content="Add">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image x:Name="image" Source="../Resources/Images/Icons/Pruefplan_Add_32_gray.png" Margin="8" />
<TextBlock x:Name="text" Text="ADD" Margin="3,0,3,0" VerticalAlignment="Center"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="image" Property="Source" Value="../Resources/Images/Icons/Pruefplan_Add_32.png" />
<Setter TargetName="text" Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
This Button has a Styling and a Trigger to change the Image on MouseOver. It works all fine. But i want to use a global Resource for the Button.
<Style x:Key="ButtonsMenue1" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#02FFFFFF" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
Margin="10"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
RecognizesAccessKey="True"
TextBlock.FontFamily="Segoe WP Light"
TextBlock.Foreground="Black"
TextBlock.FontSize="14"
/>
<Rectangle x:Name="border"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
Opacity="0.25"
Width="10" Height="20" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Fill="DarkGray" Margin="15,0,0,0" />
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="contentPresenter" Property="Opacity" Value="1" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="contentPresenter" Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="true" />
<Trigger Property="ToggleButton.IsChecked" Value="true" />
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource PreviousData}}" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="Rectangle.Width" Value="2"/>
</DataTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I know i can use
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ButtonsMenue1}">
But it wont show for example my Rectangle as Separator. And it looks not good. Do you have a nice Solution for me ?
nice Wishes

Unfortunately you cannot inherit a ControlTemplate. The template you define for the inherited style will override the template you defined for the base style.
If you want to use a base template and then want to modify it you will have to find a way to do it with properties. You would than have to define a custom control which has a DependencyProperty to handle special requirements. Something like:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ButtonsMenue1}">
<Setter Property="ImageForMouseOver" Value="..." />
</Style>
