Stylling Button in WPF - wpf

I have a style for button as per below code.
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="TransparentButton">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Center" x:Name="borderTemplate"
Background="Transparent">
<ContentPresenter/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="borderTemplate"
Property="Border.BorderBrush" Value="Gray" />
<Setter TargetName="borderTemplate"
Property="Border.BorderThickness" Value="1" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="borderTemplate"
Property="Border.BorderBrush" Value="Lime" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I need to set the background of button
1.To gray as soon as “MouseUp“ event occurred.
2.And set it to Default(say white)as soon as Focus Of Button being changed or say Focus Being lost.
Is there any way to solve this using Trigger or EventTrigger??.
See One example for above code with image
Button with Above style.
<Button Background="Black" Style="{StaticResource TransparentButton}"
Content="0123456789" Height="15" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Name="button2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="70,17,0,0" />
Button will look as per below image after above style being applied.

This can be done by using RadioButton instead of Button
just have a look at this
<Style x:Key="RadioButtonStyle1" TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#F4F4F4"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource CheckBoxStroke}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Center" x:Name="borderTemplate" Background="Transparent" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="borderTemplate" Value="#FFE4E4E4"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" TargetName="contentPresenter" Value="Center"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="borderTemplate" Value="#FFA1A1A1"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<StackPanel/>
<RadioButton Content="RadioButton" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="116,86.04,0,0" Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle1}"/>
<RadioButton Content="RadioButton" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="116,106,0,0" Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle1}"/>
</Grid>

Add border to radioButton with text on isChecked

I want to add border to radiobutton with text on isChecked
I tried Style.Trigger but it didn't seem to have action
Also tried via ControlTemplate.Trigger but referencing to both grid and text box says Parameter is not recognized
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

The TextBlock doesn't have a border, so it's impossible to set a value for the border either.
It can be solved in two ways.
Use instead of TextBlock element TextBox in read-only mode.
<ControlTemplate TargetType="RadioButton">
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
x:Name="GridMain">
<TextBox Text="{TemplateBinding Content}"
x:Name="ButtonText"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="20,0,0,0"
IsReadOnly="True"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="ButtonText" Property="Margin" Value="30,0,0,0"></Setter>
<Setter TargetName="ButtonText" Property="BorderThickness" Value="5"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="GridMain" Property="Background" Value="#424549"></Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
Since you have only one element in the panel, you can use Border instead.
<ControlTemplate TargetType="RadioButton">
<Border VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
x:Name="GridMain">
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Property=Content}"
x:Name="ButtonText"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="20,0,0,0">
</TextBlock>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="ButtonText" Property="Margin" Value="30,0,0,0"></Setter>
<Setter TargetName="GridMain" Property="BorderThickness" Value="5"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="GridMain" Property="Background" Value="#424549"></Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>

Button IsPressed Trigger Not Working

I have a button with an undo image inside it.
I want the button to make the border appear when user clicks (ispressed) the button.
<Button Margin="0,7,12,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="20" Width="23">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="False">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0,0,0,0" Height="20" Width="20" Source="/Images/Undo.png">
<Image.Style>
<Style TargetType="Image">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.7"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Image.Style>
</Image>
</Button>
But its not working at all.
Any help will be appreciated!
I did the following changes to your style: 1) moved triggers within ControlTemplate; 2) assigned x:Name to Border so it can be referenced in the trigger; 3) defined BorderBrush.
<Button Margin="0" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Height="25" Width="75" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="b0" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" TargetName="b0" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" TargetName="b0" Value="Blue"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0,0,0,0" Height="20" Width="20" Source="/Images/Undo.jpg">
<Image.Style>
<Style TargetType="Image">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.7"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Image.Style>
</Image>
</Button>
It's not working because the button template sets the border thickness to 1 directly, ignoring the border thickness attribute of the button element itself. You're successfully changing a value that isn't used.
You will have to copy and modify the button template if you want to change the border thickness.

Disabled button not changing color for DataTrigger in WPF

I have the below code where I'm trying to change the background color of the button when its disabled. But it still stays at the same background color as it is when its enabled. Its not changing though the button does get disabled. Any help would be much appreciated.
<Button Content="Install" Command="{Binding InstallCommand}" Margin="150,30,30,22" Width="118" FontSize="18" FontWeight="Bold" FontFamily="Segoe UI Light" FontStretch="ExtraExpanded">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF4F4F4F"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Name="border"
BorderThickness="1"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Goldenrod"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding InstallEnabled, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" Value="">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource windowBGBrushBusinessDateChanged}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
I found that in your trigger you are not checking the value .Change your trigger as below.
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding InstallEnabled, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="False" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource windowBGBrushBusinessDateChanged}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
You can change the disabled button background by changing the control template of button like below,
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="MyButton2" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="MediumAquamarine" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="MediumBlue" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="MyContentPresenter"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="DeepPink" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Button x:Name="disabledButton"
Width="100"
Height="100"
Content="Button State"
IsEnabled="False"
Style="{StaticResource MyButton2}" />
</Grid>

This Button has a Styling and a Trigger to change the Image on MouseOver. It works all fine. But i want to use a global Resource for the Button.
<Style x:Key="ButtonsMenue1" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">

<Setter TargetName="border" Property="Rectangle.Width" Value="2"/>
</DataTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I know i can use
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ButtonsMenue1}">
But it wont show for example my Rectangle as Separator. And it looks not good. Do you have a nice Solution for me ?
nice Wishes

Unfortunately you cannot inherit a ControlTemplate. The template you define for the inherited style will override the template you defined for the base style.
If you want to use a base template and then want to modify it you will have to find a way to do it with properties. You would than have to define a custom control which has a DependencyProperty to handle special requirements. Something like:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ButtonsMenue1}">
<Setter Property="ImageForMouseOver" Value="..." />
</Style>
