XAML code without resources and templates possible? - wpf

Question

I found an example (the first one) for a slider,
which defines also a track with thumb.
Is it possible to recode it without resources and templates?
Thank you for your comments.

I have done it.
Here the XAML code without template and style references
for the slider with track and thumb
<Slider x:Name="slidExample"
VerticalAlignment="Center" TickFrequency="37.5"

OverridesDefaultStyle="true"
IsTabStop="false"
Focusable="false"

Answer 2

I think I have fixed it.
The reason of missings commands of RepeatButton was the textfield in thumb.
Its name in the new source is "DisplaysValueInThumb".
I had to add a converter, because the value of the slider produce many decimal places, which hide the touch area of the repeat button.
Because I was unable to format the source correctly
you find the source here.
