Mouseover on overlapped control template elements - wpf

I am trying to create a control template that presents a geometric figure (Path) and some joints (Ellipses) on it. I need to highlight figure and joints when mouse over a figure, and highlight figure and make joint bigger and change it colour when mouse over a joint.
The problem is, when mouse is over a joint inside path, then mouse is not over a path. How to solve it?
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ctConnector">
<Canvas>
<Path x:Name="ConnectorPath" Data="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=PathData}" Fill="White">
<Path.Style>
<Style TargetType="Path">
<Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="{StaticResource PathNormalBrush}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Stroke" Value="{StaticResource PathMouseOverBrush}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Path.Style>
</Path>
<ItemsControl x:Name="ConnectorJoints" ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Joints}">
<ItemsControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="ItemsControl">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Hidden" />
</Style>
</ItemsControl.Style>
<ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="FrameworkElement">
<Setter Property="Canvas.Left" Value="{Binding Left, Converter={x:Static local:CoordConverter.Instance}, ConverterParameter=X}" />
<Setter Property="Canvas.Top" Value="{Binding Top, Converter={x:Static local:CoordConverter.Instance}, ConverterParameter=Y}" />
</Style>
</ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Canvas IsItemsHost="True" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Ellipse>
<Ellipse.Style>
<Style TargetType="Ellipse">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="3" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="3" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="-1.5,-1.5" />
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource PathMouseOverBrush}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="7" />
<Setter Property="Height" Value="7" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="-3.5,-3.5" />

</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Ellipse.Style>
</Ellipse>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Canvas>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger SourceName="ConnectorPath" Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="ConnectorJoints" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>

How can I highlight the cell which contains the error?

I have a DataGrid with four columns for which I have defined a style as well as a triggered style for the case the user enters an invalid value.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridRow}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="ArialMT"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="24"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="ValidationErrorTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Grid>
<Ellipse Width="12" Height="12" Fill="Red" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="0.5"/>
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Padding="4,0,0,0" Margin="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="White" Text="!" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="true">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red"/>
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
This works well and the complete DataGridRow is marked as faulty because I used this in the XAML:
<DataGrid.RowValidationRules>
<local:CycleValidationRule ValidationStep="UpdatedValue" />
</DataGrid.RowValidationRules>
Now I want to highlight the DataGridCell with the invalid value explictely additionally (setting the background colour). Hence, I defined another style:
<Style x:Key="cycleErrStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Magenta"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="true" >
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
but this doesn't work.
When I set <Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="false" > to false, the style affects. It seems as if the Validation.HasError property has been reset after validation for the grid's row.
In the XAML I defined this:
<DataGridTextColumn x:Name="TagCycle" Header="Cycle" Binding="{Binding Mode=TwoWay, Path=RawTag.Cycle, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}"
ElementStyle="{StaticResource ResourceKey=cycleErrStyle}" />
How can I highlight the invalid cell additionally to marking the row as faulty?
You could use a DataTrigger that binds to the Validation.HasError attached property of the parent DataGridRow:
<Style x:Key="cycleErrStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Magenta"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=(Validation.HasError), RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=DataGridRow}}" Value="true" >
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

WPF Tab Styling

I am trying to style my WPF TabControl. I basically want to get the tab control to have a transparent background, with a white border and text. I want the selected tab to have a White Background and Transparent Text (or any colour text!). Essentially a 2 colour tab.
However, I cannot override the selected tab appearance - this shows as white. And my child textboxes are taking the style of the TabItem font. Note, in the screen shot my labels have their own style set so do not take the TabItem font.
I have the following XAML in place to do this. Ideally I want to create the styles so that I can reuse across the application.

<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>

Then the XAML MarkUp
<TabControl Style="{StaticResource Tabs}">
<TabItem Header="General" Style="{StaticResource TabItemStyle}">...</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Details" Style="{StaticResource TabItemStyle}">...</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Info" Style="{StaticResource TabItemStyle}">...</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="More Stuff..." Style="{StaticResource TabItemStyle}">...</TabItem>
</TabControl>
How can I style my tabs to be and prevent the children from sizing?
Your DataTriggers don't work. To fix it change RelatveSource to Self
Binding="{Binding Path=IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
However I would suggest to change them to Triggers like so:
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="LightGray"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
You should create control template for TabItem.
This sample change TabItem background to Transparent and Text color to White.
You can use own color schema.
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TabControl">
<Setter Property="Background"
Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush"
Value="White" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TabItem}">
<Grid>
<Border Name="Border"
Margin="0,0,-4,0"
Background="{x:Static Brushes.White}"
BorderBrush="{x:Static Brushes.White}"
BorderThickness="1,1,1,1"
CornerRadius="2,12,0,0">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentSite"
Margin="12,2,12,2"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
ContentSource="Header"
RecognizesAccessKey="True" />
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Panel.ZIndex"
Value="100" />
<Setter TargetName="Border"
Property="Background"
Value="{x:Static Brushes.Transparent}" />
<Setter TargetName="Border"
Property="BorderThickness"
Value="1,1,1,0" />
<Setter Property="TextBlock.Foreground"
Value="White" />
<!--<Setter Property="TextBlock.Foreground"
Value="Transparent" />-->
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled"
Value="False">
<Setter TargetName="Border"
Property="Background"
Value="{x:Static Brushes.White}" />
<Setter TargetName="Border"
Property="BorderBrush"
Value="{x:Static Brushes.White}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="{x:Static Brushes.White}" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid Background="SkyBlue">
<TabControl Margin="20">
<TabItem Header="TabItem #1">
<TextBox>Tab Item #1 content</TextBox>
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="TabItem #2">
<TextBox>Tab Item #1 content</TextBox>
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="TabItem #3">
<TextBox>Tab Item #1 content</TextBox>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
</Grid>

How can I bind to tag from style in wpf?

I'm implementing a search textbox; could you please help me with binding to TextBox.Tag?
Style
<Style x:Key="SearchTextBox" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Left" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=Self}, Path=Tag}" Foreground="{StaticResource SearchTextBox.Foreground}" FontSize="{StaticResource SearchTextBox.FontSize}"/>
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource SearchTextBox.FontSize}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource SearchTextBox.TextForeground}" />
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="200" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Usage
<TextBox Style="{StaticResource SearchTextBox}" Tag="Search templates" />
How can I get the binding to work?
This article here is extremely similar to yours: WPF Bind to parent property from within nested element using style
Though, it doesn't really give a code sample, so here's some xaml you can use as an alternative to your current approach.
<Style x:Key="SearchTextBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TextBox}}" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Style.Setters>
<Setter Property="Tag" Value=""/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" />
<TextBlock x:Name="textBlock" Opacity="0.345" Text="{TemplateBinding Tag}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Visibility="Hidden" />
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsFocused" Value="False" />
<Condition Property="Text" Value="" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="textBlock" Value="Visible" />
</MultiTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style.Setters>
</Style>
And you'll still write your textbox code the same way you already had it:
<TextBox Style="{StaticResource SearchTextBox}" Tag="Search templates" />

wpf Treeview CheckBox Item ForeGround Color cannot Change when it is disabled?

This is the my xaml style for Treeview CheckBox Item. I'm using Syncfusion Treeview.
<Style x:Key="contractListItemContainerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type syncfusion:TreeViewItemAdv}">
<Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsInitiallySelected, Mode=OneTime}" />
<Setter Property="KeyboardNavigation.AcceptsReturn" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="IsEditable" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding Enable}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="selectedContractsDataTemplate" ItemsSource="{Binding Children}" >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox Margin="2,0,2,0"
Focusable="False"
IsChecked="{Binding Content.IsChecked}"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}" Margin="2,0" />
</StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
If I set Enable to False from ViewModel, The Color doesn't change to red but If I set to true, it changes to Green. Why? Pelase advise.
The code should work, see/try this:
<StackPanel>
<CheckBox Name="chk" Content="check this...">
<CheckBox.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="CheckBox.Foreground" Value="Red" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="CheckBox.IsEnabled" Value="True">
<Setter Property="CheckBox.Foreground" Value="Green" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="CheckBox.IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="CheckBox.Foreground" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</CheckBox.Style>
</CheckBox>
<Button Content="press" Click="Button_Click"/>
</StackPanel>
Probably something is wrong with the binding?
Try this
<Setter Property = "Foreground" Value = "Red"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>

Dotted border on ListBoxItem in WPF

How can I make the default border on my ListBoxItems a dotted border? See following way of styling it:
<Grid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="30" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,1" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Silver" />
<Setter Property="Content" Value="" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="3">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black"></Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Grid.Resources>
Here I make the AlternationIndex 0, 1 and 2 to a dotted border instead of a solid line. How can this be done?
Try this:
<Window.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SelectedBackgroundBrush" Color="#DDD" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="DisabledForegroundBrush" Color="#888" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="DisabledBackgroundBrush" Color="#EEE" />
<!-- SimpleStyles: ListBoxItem -->
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem" x:Key="ListBoxItemTemplate">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Grid>
<Rectangle x:Name="Rectangle" Fill="Transparent" Stroke="Black"
StrokeDashCap="Square" StrokeThickness="0" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<Rectangle.StrokeDashArray>
<sys:Double>5</sys:Double>
</Rectangle.StrokeDashArray>
</Rectangle>
<Border
Name="Border"
Padding="2"
BorderThickness="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=BorderBrush}">
<ContentPresenter />
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="Rectangle" Property="StrokeThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="Rectangle" Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource SelectedBackgroundBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource DisabledForegroundBrush}" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ListBoxItemTemplate}">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="30" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,1" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Silver" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ItemsControl.AlternationIndex" Value="3">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black"></Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<ListBox>
<ListBoxItem Content="Item 1" />
<ListBoxItem Content="Item 2" />
<ListBoxItem Content="Item 3" />
<ListBoxItem Content="Item 4" />
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
So I put a rectangle bellow the actual border in the control template. The rectangle can have its border be dotted, or dashed or w/e (to make the dash smaller just change the part to 2, 1 is not noticeable). So the default value of the rectangle's border thickness is 0, but when selected I set the thickness to 1 so it's visible. I made some border properties to be binded to its templated parent too, so it can look like what you set on your style (brush silver, thickness 0,0,0,1).
