I'm using the following style on a Textbox so that it has text and a background colour until someone tries to enter data into it. Works fine but my problem arises because it is a login screen and my other control is a Passwordbox which won't let me access the Password property (which is the equivalent to the Text property of the Textbox). Any advice on how I would work around this?
<Style TargetType="TextBox" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Left" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="Search" Foreground="LightGray"/>
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<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>
<Setter Property="Control.Foreground" Value="#4C2C66"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
</Style>
If you are using a PasswordBox, make sure to change the TargetType and use a DataTrigger:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Left" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="Search" Foreground="LightGray"/>
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=Password}" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</DataTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
<Setter Property="Control.Foreground" Value="#4C2C66"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
</Style>

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>
I have the following WPF textbox with Style associated with it. Is there any way by which I can push the TextBox.Style into resources so it can be reused?
<TextBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding IpAddress, Mode=TwoWay}" ToolTip="Ip Address of camera">
<TextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="Camera Ip Address" Foreground="Gray" Opacity="0.5" FontStyle="Italic" />
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<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>
</TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>
Create a Resource Dictionary put your style in it and add it to App.xaml
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:metroChart="clr-
>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" >
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="Camera Ip Address" Foreground="Gray" Opacity="0.5" FontStyle="Italic" />
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<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>
and in your App.xaml
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary Source="YourStyleDictionary.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
This will create a global style applied on all TextBoxes if you just want to use it for specific TextBoxes add a x:Key to your Style
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.
Resource Dictionary
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008">
<Style x:Key="Tabs" TargetType="TabControl">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="White"/>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="TabItemStyle" TargetType="TabItem">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Top" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=TabItem}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=TabItem}}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="LightGray"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
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>
I have some TabItems, each one containg one image and a textblock. Here is the code:
<TabItem.Header>
<ContentControl>
<ContentControl.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<StackPanel x:Name="sp" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image x:Name="img" Source="img0.png"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="tb" Text="Tab1" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="Green"/>
</StackPanel>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="TabItem.IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="img" Property="Source" Value="img1.png" />
<Setter TargetName="tb" Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger SourceName="sp" Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="img" Property="Source" Value="img1.png" />
<Setter TargetName="tb" Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</ContentControl.Template>
</ContentControl>
What I'm trying to achieve is to change the image's source and textblock's foreground value when the TabItem is selected. The IsMouseOver behaviour is working properly but the TabItem.IsSelected is not working as expected.
Basically this code is not doing what I'm thinking it should do:
<Trigger Property="TabItem.IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="img" Property="Source" Value="img1.png" />
<Setter TargetName="tb" Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
Please share your opinion.
Thank you.
You are trying to reach the IsSelected property of the TabItem from the TabItem.Header and that can't be accomplished with an ordinary Trigger. Instead, you need to use a DataTrigger so that you can Bind to the IsSelected property with a RelativeSource Binding:
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=
{x:Type TabItem}}}" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="img" Property="Source"
Value="/WpfApplication1;component/Images/Tulips.jpg" />
<Setter TargetName="tb" Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="TextElement.FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
</DataTrigger>
I need help to change the color of SurfaceListBox selection.
For now Im using this:
<Style x:Key="styleSurfaceListBox" TargetType="{x:Type my:SurfaceListBox}">
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
<Setter.Value>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Background="Transparent" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
What I need to make the selection color transparente?
Thanks to dvvrd!
I create my SurfaceListBoxItem style like this:
<Style x:Key="item" TargetType="{x:Type my:SurfaceListBoxItem}" >
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Then I point it to ItemContainerStyle:
SurfaceListBox1.ItemContainerStyle = (Style)this.Resources["item"]; //item is the KEY on my style.
Thanks again to dvvrd!
