Inheriting/overriding WPF styles - wpf

Question

I created style for a toggle button, defined below:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" x:Name="border" Padding="5,5,5,5" CornerRadius="5" Background="#FFBFACAC" BorderBrush="#FF000000" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FF36587C" Offset="0.5"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF122F53" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="LightGray" Offset="0.5"/>
<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I have multiple toggle buttons but I would like a way to change their border corner radius. For example, I would like buttons with only their right border corners to be rounded, or some with no corner rounding.
Do I have to recreate the entire style for each type of rounding I need, where the only difference in each style would be the following line?
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" x:Name="border" Padding="5,5,5,5" CornerRadius="5" Background="#FFBFACAC" BorderBrush="#FF000000" BorderThickness="1,1,1,1" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
Since the corner rounding is part of the control template, I don't think I can somehow change just a part of the template in a new style without including all of it but I am not sure.
Thanks.

Answer 1

You will need to create the entire style to change part of the control template. I suggest putting this into a resource dictionary that you can merge as part of your window to keep the window (or control) XAML cleaner.
An easy way to do this is with Blend - add the control you want and right click it, then choose "edit template", to edit a copy of the template.

Answer 2

The alternative is to create a Custom Control, inheriting from ToggleButton.
You could then have a property called CornerRadius, and in the generic template for the class, do a TemplateBinding to this property.
If this is something you plan to use "a lot" in your project, with a bunch of variations, then a Custom Control may be the way to go. It will also allow you to expand the number of properties later, in case you want to do further customizations.
