Cannot resolve all property references in the property path 'TextElement.Foreground' - wpf

I set up a control template for a button in my wpf application but I'm having trouble animating the ContentPresenter (which is text) Foreground colour in my storyboard.
Below is the xaml to set up the button
<ControlTemplate x:Key="SaveButton" TargetType="{x:Type ButtonBase}">
<Border x:Name="buttonBorder" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Control Grid.Column="0" Template="{DynamicResource save_icon}"
Margin="10,0,0,0"
/>
<TextBlock x:Name="buttonContent"
Text="Save"
Focusable="False" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Button.IsDefaulted" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="buttonBorder" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation
To="#000" Duration="0:0:0.2"
Storyboard.TargetName="buttonBorder"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
<ColorAnimation
To="#fff" Duration="0:0:0.2"
Storyboard.TargetName="buttonContent"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="TextElement.Foreground"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseLeave">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation
To="#fff" Duration="0:0:0.2"
Storyboard.TargetName="buttonBorder"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
<ColorAnimation
To="#000" Duration="0:0:0.2"
Storyboard.TargetName="buttonContent"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="TextElement.Foreground"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
However on mouse hover I get the following error - Cannot resolve all property references in the property path 'TextElement.Foreground'
Why is this and how do I fix this?

<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="(TextBlock.Background).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" To="Red"/>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="(TextBlock.Foreground).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" To="Red"/>
Full example for doubters
<Button Content="Context">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="bord" Background="CadetBlue">
<TextBlock Name="tekst" Text="text" Foreground="Black"/>
</Border>

How to bind background color to property "To" of a ColorAnimation?

I have a color animation for a switch control and to let the background color to be changable I want to bind the Background property of the parent control to the To property of ColorAnimation. I tried a lot but no one worked. How can I do that?
Switch control style:
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="CheckBox">
<Viewbox Stretch="Uniform">
<Border x:Name="layer" Width="35" Height="20" CornerRadius="10,10,10,10"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
<Canvas Canvas.Top="0" Canvas.Left="0">
<Ellipse x:Name="circle" Fill="Gray" Stroke="DarkGray" StrokeThickness="0"
Width="20" Height="20">
<Ellipse.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform X="0" Y="0"/>
</Ellipse.RenderTransform>
</Ellipse>
</Canvas>
</Border>
</Viewbox>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="layer"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"
To="LightGreen"
Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="circle"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Ellipse.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.X)"
To="15"
Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="layer"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"
Duration="0:0:0.3"
To="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="circle"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Ellipse.RenderTransform).(TranslateTransform.X)"
To="0"
Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Style>
ColorAnimation part:
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="layer"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"
To="{TemplateBinding Background}"
Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
You can not using binding in color animations,if you do you will be getting this error
"Cannot freeze this Storyboard timeline tree for use across threads", more info on this here:
WPF Animation "Cannot freeze this Storyboard timeline tree for use across threads".
Now if you want a way around, what you can do is make a static resource which represents the background color of your parent control like this:
<Color A="255"
R="100"
G="0"
B="0"
x:Key="resource" />
and then you can assign this resource to your color animation property like this:
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="layer"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"
Duration="0:0:0.3"
To="{StaticResource ResourceKey=resource }" />
Hope it helps.

WPF XAML Animation property path not working

Here's is how i use it.
This does not works:
<Button Style="{StaticResource MetroButtonStyle}"
Tag="Blah">
<TextBlock Text="XXX"/>
</Button>
This works:
<Button Style="{StaticResource MetroButtonStyle}"
Tag="Blah"
Content="XXX"/>
You have
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Control.Foreground).(SolidColorBrush.Color)"
Storyboard.TargetName="EllipseInnerContent"
in your animations, where EllipseInnerContent is a ContentPresenter and there's no Foreground property on ContentPresenter.
Change it to ContentControl.
Also, when putting a TextBlock as a content of a control, it will inherit the foreground of the page\user control that it's part of. Use DataTemplate instead to have the TextBlock created for you and then it will inherit the foreground from the button.

Wpf ComboBox Style Triggers And Binding

I'm creating a wpf app that can be controlled by a remote control or a keyboard. I'm trying to create a ComboBox that when focus moves to it, the text will glow. By clicking ok on the remote (Or enter on the keyboard) the dropdown appears allowing the user to make their choice.
To make the keyboard navigation work I created a custom control which extends a combobox. Everything is working as it should but I'm having trouble styling it.
I want the ComboBox to be a textbox with the Glow effect mentioned above but I'm having trouble working out where to place the Triggers.
In the below Xaml I get an error that "FlowMenuComboBoxContentTemplateGlow" can't be found. I'm also having trouble working out what I need to bind to in the Textbox to show the Selected Item's text.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Moving the triggers into the ItemTemplate and using relative source to to get the isFocused path of the comboboxitem fixed this issue.

In the second, it's dark, baad
I want it like the third "Edited by paint"
any way to do that ?!
You can create your own style for ToggleSwitch by editing the default
style of a ToggleSwitch.
You ll get the default style from Here
Here is the style for ToggleSwitch that i edited and created a

Making text in a Silverlight datagrid cell bold upon selection

I am trying to make a the text of a selected cell bold in Silverlight 4 using XAML. I have tried modifying the DataGridCell template, but I have come only as far as modifying the background color on selection and can't find anything for the font weight.
This is what I did and works for me:
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style x:Key="DataGridCellStyle1" TargetType="sdk:DataGridCell">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="sdk:DataGridCell">
<Grid x:Name="Root" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CurrentStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Regular"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Current">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="FocusVisual"/>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="contentPresenter"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Content).FontWeight"
Duration="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="Bold" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="ValidationStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Valid"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Invalid">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="1" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="InvalidVisualElement"/>
<ColorAnimation Duration="0" To="#FFFFFFFF" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Fill).Color" Storyboard.TargetName="FocusVisual"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Rectangle x:Name="FocusVisual" Fill="#66FFFFFF" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" IsHitTestVisible="false" Opacity="0" Stroke="Blue" StrokeThickness="3" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter"
Margin="0"
FlowDirection="RightToLeft"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}">
</ContentPresenter>
<Rectangle x:Name="InvalidVisualElement" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" IsHitTestVisible="False" Opacity="0" Stroke="#FFDC000C" StrokeThickness="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<Rectangle x:Name="RightGridLine" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="1"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<sdk:DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False"
Height="154"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="38,41,0,0"
Name="dataGrid1"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="182" CellStyle="{StaticResource DataGridCellStyle1}" >
<sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Key}" />
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Value}" />
</sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
</sdk:DataGrid>
</Grid>
The binding code in MainPage.cs
IDictionary<string, object> test = new Dictionary<string, object>();
test.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, object>("Name", "A"));
test.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, object>("Height", 2));
this.dataGrid1.ItemsSource = test;
look at this code in the cell style:
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="contentPresenter"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Content).FontWeight"
Duration="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0"
Value="Bold" />
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
