How do you completely remove the button border in wpf? - wpf

Question

I'm trying to create a button that has an image in it and no border - just like the Firefox toolbar buttons before you hover over them and see the full button.
I've tried setting the BorderBrush to Transparent, BorderThickness to 0, and also tried BorderBrush="{x:Null}", but you can still see the outline of the button.

Answer 1

Try this
<Button BorderThickness="0"
Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}}" >...

Answer 2

You may have to change the button template, this will give you a button with no frame what so ever, but also without any press or disabled effect:
<Style x:Key="TransparentStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="Transparent">
<ContentPresenter/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And the button:
<Button Style="{StaticResource TransparentStyle}"/>

Answer 3

What you have to do is something like this:
<Button Name="MyFlatImageButton"
Background="Transparent"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
BorderThickness="0"
Padding="-4">
<Image Source="MyImage.png"/>
</Button>
Hope this is what you were looking for.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention that if you want to see the button-border when you hover over the image, all you have to do is skip the Padding="-4".

I don't know why others haven't pointed out that this question is duplicated with this one with accepted answer.
I quote here the solution: You need to override the ControlTemplate of the Button:
<Button Content="save" Name="btnSaveEditedText"
Background="Transparent"
Foreground="White"
FontFamily="Tw Cen MT Condensed"
FontSize="30"
Margin="-280,0,0,10"
Width="60"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
BorderThickness="0">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>

Answer 5

You can use Hyperlink instead of Button, like this:
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink TextDecorations="{x:Null}">
<Image Width="16"
Height="16"
Margin="3"
Source="/YourProjectName;component/Images/close-small.png" />
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>

Answer 6

You may already know that putting your Button inside of a ToolBar gives you this behavior, but if you want something that will work across ALL current themes with any sort of predictability, you'll need to create a new ControlTemplate.
Prashant's solution does not work with a Button not in a toolbar when the Button has focus. It also doesn't work 100% with the default theme in XP -- you can still see faint gray borders when your container Background is white.

Why don't you set both Background & BorderBrush by same brush
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" >
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource marginBackGround}"></Setter>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource marginBackGround}"></Setter>
</Style>
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="marginBackGround" EndPoint=".5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#EE82EE" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#7B30B6" Offset="0.5"/>
<GradientStop Color="#510088" Offset="0.5"/>
<GradientStop Color="#76209B" Offset="0.9"/>
<GradientStop Color="#C750B9" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
