I customized the design of a button in WPF but when I hover over the button it shows the default design of the button.
This also happens to combo boxes.
That sounds like you just changed things by setting various appearance related properties, but to fully customize the button you need to change the Template. See this page for an example style (and this question if you need to get the default tenmplate of it)

I am creating a form in MS Access. My form appears to the user in form of a modal pop-up box. At the bottom of the form we get Navigation Buttons, New Entry (which I have disabled), Filter and Search Options.
I want to customize this Navigation Button Bar. For example, I do not want 'Record' word to appear at the left most position in this bar.
I have been searching ways to do the same. I am not sure if the same can be achieved, but still hopeful.
Thanks in anticipation.

You can disable Navigation Buttons in form properties, which means the bar does not appear and in Access 2007 and 2010, you can set the Navigation Caption, which means you can have something instead of "Record", but you cannot customize the bar itself.
If you must have custom navigation, disable the bar and add your own navigation options.
You can change the Record into something else, but not customize the other bits of the navigation bar as far as I know.
Will show as:
If you want to go further than that, you may be able to intercept windows messages and change the wording on the fly, but that would complex and certainly a lot of work for not much.
On the other hand you could simply not show the navigation bar and create your own navigation using buttons and a bit of VBA instead.
I want to be able to allow a user to set a module as a Favorite by toggling a star icon that is placed on each tab. Is this possible using Infragistics XamTabs?
The technique you want to use is to template the tab header. You should create a style that targets the TabItemEx and provide a HeaderTemplate.
In my sample I added a Radio Button and an Image to the header which are bound to an IsFavorite property in my viewmodel causing the image to be visible when the radio button is checked. The VisConverter converter is being used to toggle the visibility property of the image.
See more details and my sample here.

Like the title said,how may i turn the grid(or page) and the components in it into background gray and unable and show a new component in foreground.
It's a common effect in the web page,but i cannot do that with a xaml.
Please answer in detail better with sample code if you do.Thanks in advance.
Here's an example of using a Popup to display a UserControl when a Page is navigated to. The OnNavigatedTo function creates a popup, binds a Click event to the UserControl, and then shows the UserControl over the entire page. If the correct password is entered, ("password" in the example) the control disappears. You'll need to modify it for your own requirements, but it should definitely get you started.

You'll want to use the VisualStateManager and create some animation transitions to switch between the old and new components. I won't paste the code here for brevity, but if you check out:
http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2011/07/22/wcmob_visual-states.aspx
You'll see a simple example of switching between two UI components on a single page within a Windows Phone 7 PhoneApplicationPage. In your scenario, you'd use this paradigm to create 2 animation storyboards, one for showing an overlay control and one for settings the 'disabled' property on the main grid.
I've created a Google like SearchBox control in Silverlight. That means, as I type in the box, a DropDownListBox appears just below the SearchBox, showing all the items that match with the text I've typed in searchbox so far (i.e AutoComplete feature), exactly like this:
Now, I want to add a functionality to it : I want to make the DropDownListBox to disappear, as soon as user clicks outside it, or anywhere on the screen. I cannot handle MouseLeftButtonDown (or any such event) in other controls, to accomplish this, because users can click anywhere, including non-silverlight region. Can anybody suggest me what should I do to achieve this?
So my question basically is:
How to know if user has just clicked and the click event occurred outside a particular control?
Please note that AutoCompleteBox doesn't serve my purpose. So I cannot use it.
I have a feeling that working with LostFocus event can solve your problem.
I guess this question is a bit old, but i just stumble upon trying to do the same and finding a solution. This is what i did
Created a Border with All Margins -500, this will cover the full screen essentially.
On Click Behaviour of this Border, the dropdown section of SearchBox
is collapsed.
Adjust z-Index of Border just below the SearchBox and DropDown
section, so clicking on SearchBox or DropDown wouldn't close it.
Set Border Visibility Collapsed, and make it visible when DropDown is Visible.
I hope it helps someone who is looking for the similar problem.
I have 2 logical groups of controls (textboxes,buttons, etc), and I'd like to have an opportunity to change their visibility: for example when the program loads the first group is visible, and after clicking on some button it becomes collapsed and the other group becomes visible. What's the best way to implement this kind of behavior?
Sounds like you want a functionality similar to a TabPanel. You might actually use one and change the style so it doesn't look like a TabPanel but more like a Navigation bar.
Otherwise all would have to implement the functionality by yourself of showing and hiding your areas.
Maybe you should also take a look at the navigation framework: http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/The-Silverlight-3-Navigation-Framework.aspx ... It adds the functionality that view changes are tracked in the URL so that users can also use back/forward buttons in their browsers when navigating through your page.
