How to add GroupName to ControlTemplate for RadioButton

I have a Style defined for a RadioButton which includes a ControlTemplate made up of BulletDecorator, VisualStateManager and Triggers. I currently have my GroupName defined on the RadioButton in the XAML code.
The selection of a radio button when running the code is not mutually exclusive.
I have read other posts saying that the problem is a second RadioButton defined in the ControlTemplate. I do not have a second RadioButton defined.
Here is a picture of buttons selected which should be mutually exclusive:
Here is my style:
<Style x:Key="RadioButtonStyle" TargetType="RadioButton">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="15"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5"/>

Here is the XAML:
<RadioButton Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Content="Normal" Foreground="WhiteSmoke" Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle}" GroupName="gpHeadingMode" Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
<RadioButton Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Content="Weather Vane" Foreground="WhiteSmoke" Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle}" GroupName="gpHeadingMode" Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
Tried this as a work around (in XAML):
<RadioButton Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" x:Name="Normal" Content="Normal" Foreground="WhiteSmoke" GroupName="gpHeadingMode1"
Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle}"
IsChecked="{Binding HeadingModeChecked, ElementName=HeadingDialog, Converter={StaticResource RbCheckedConverter}, ConverterParameter=Normal, FallbackValue=False}"
Click="RbHeadingMode_Click"/>
<RadioButton Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" x:Name="WeatherVane" Content="Weather Vane" Foreground="WhiteSmoke" GroupName="gpHeadingMode2"
Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle}"
IsChecked="{Binding HeadingModeChecked, ElementName=HeadingDialog, Converter={StaticResource RbCheckedConverter}, ConverterParameter=WeatherVane, FallbackValue=False}"
Click="RbHeadingMode_Click"/>
In RbHeadingMode_Click, the dependency object HeadingModeChecked is set with the value of RadioButton.Name. If I remove the "Style" the converter fires and does the job of toggling the IsClicked value.
Unfortunately, with the Style, the converter does not fire.
Now the question becomes, how can I bind the IsChecked property in XAML to the Style?
Note: Actually, the converter does fire with Style specified but the change to IsChecked in XAML has no effect on the RadioButton.

Had to remove the following code from the Style and it works:
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CheckStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Checked">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="CheckMark" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="UnChecked">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="CheckMark" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="0" Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Indeterminate">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="CheckMark" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
<ColorAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="CheckMain" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Ellipse.Fill).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" To="Gray" Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
Note: Not only does the converter work on the IsChecked property but now I can remove that converter and just use Groupname to achieve mutual exclusion on the radiobuttons!

I need to change the Item Template for a specific section dynamically. How can i achieve this. The section will contains image and we need to change the whole Item template and there we have redirection inside the pivot. How to obtain the scenario.
Below is the image design need to bind for the particular section
1st list of items like below
Likewise it contains list of items. In tapping of each section
redirect to the below
In tapping of single image take us to
Tapping will redirect to the below part
The above process will be carried out in a single pivot item. Will it be possible. If it's possible how to attain this. Please someone guide me to solve this

As per my understanding would suggest some of the methods in which you can achieve this
<Pivot >...
<PivotItem x:Uid="OVERVIEW" Header="" Margin="0">
<Grid>...
</Grid>
</PivotItem>.......
</Pivot>
Would be specifying ItemTemplate for the specific pivot inside that pivot Item. If the changes are specific for each pivot
Another way would be using this Link You can instead even use Converters and based on your data can make grids visible invisible etc. But you will need to identify what your triggers for ItemTemplate changed are based on.

List Box data template with style - On tap change the background color

I am working on Windows Phone 8 application, I have List box with Items in it, for the items i have used DataTemplate, now i have a style as well which i have applied to List as ItemContainerStyle.
Basically this is how it is , i have a list item with default color say grey,now when i tap on that item the color grey should change to red, so that it indicates to user that he has selected that item.
My code works but its not applying as background, instead its being applied as foreground.
List box :
<ListBox Name="listBox"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource DefaultTemplate}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle}"/>
Data template:
<DataTemplate x:Key="DefaultTemplate">
<Border

You don't need to override ControlTemplate for that. Override system highlight brush for your ListBox by placing it under ListBox resources if all you want is to change highlight brush for your listBox.
<ListBox>
<ListBox.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}"
Color="Red"/>
</ListBox.Resources>
</ListBox>

Update: Okay, since you didn't specify explicitly that you are using Silverlight which is a subset of WPF framework, not all of its API is the same.
For windows phone you want to do something like this
<Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle1" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>

How to change the border around a LoopingSelector

I've been messing around trying to change this red border around the LoopingSelector in code, and in Blend. I just can't figure out how to do it. Here's a picture so you have an idea of what I'm talking about.
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0" toolkit:TurnstileFeatherEffect.FeatheringIndex="1">
<Grid.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="KiloTemplate">
<Grid Background="DarkBlue">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" FontSize="54" FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilySemiBold}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="kg" FontSize="24" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Grid.Resources>

<local:NumberDataSource Privzeti="18" Minimum="13" Maximum="99" />
</toolkitPrimitives:LoopingSelector.DataSource>
</toolkitPrimitives:LoopingSelector>
</Grid>
EDIT: Here's the soulution, thanks to Chris. W. I copied the style from the Generic.xaml file in the Phone Toolkit samples. I changed the <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Transparent" /> in the Selected Visual State. Here's the code:

Start by finding the template for it, a quick solution search for TargetType="primitives:LoopingSelectorItem" should expose it pretty quick or you could likely get to it in Blend.
Once you have the template you'll just locate the Border or Rectangle object in the template that's causing that border.
However that may not even be necessary if the property is bound to the template already. Can you set something like BorderBrush directly to it? I'd have to load something up to look so I'm just guessing at this point.
Hope this helps.

How to make (vector) paths selectable in Silverlight, while using MVVM?

I am designing an application in Silverlight with C# and MVVM. On one of the pages I have an image (as in a visual, not the type Image) which is composed of several Path's. In this case they form a face and I would like the user to be able to select several parts (eyes, nose, ears...). Each of these is a separate Path.
The idea is that the user can select one of these vectors and work with it. I'd like the selected one to change color.
I can write a converted of bool to the selected color, that's not a problem. The problem is adding selection logic.
My idea was wrapping it in a ListBox, editing the ItemTemplate to include the Path but this position edthe paths incorrectly. Even after applying margins and the like I couldn't get it properly.
Does anyone have any experience or guidance on this?
Thanks in advance!
ANSWER:
1) Change the ItemsPanel template to your container:
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Canvas Width="208"
Height="391" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
2) Set the ItemsSource:
The trick here is that positioning/attached attributes only work on the direct children of the ListBox. In this case I am using Canvas.Top and Canvas.Left. The solution is to wrap each Item in an additional ListBoxItem and apply those attributes on the ListBoxItem. (This will happen by default if you dont anyway).
<ListBox>
<ListBoxItem Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="5">
<Path Data="..." Height="200" Width="200" Fill="Black" />
</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>

Try setting a MouseLeftButtonDown event handler on the Path's that binds to an command on the ViewModel. Should be able to use the sender parameter in the handler to determine which Path to modify.
For the ListBox approach, did you try modifying the ItemsPanel and using a Canvas?

If I understand correctly you could add a VisualStateGroup for FocusStates with a VisualStateManager like you would see on a standard button to apply a different Fill or Border to the path selected. Essentially you'd be making each path behave as a button control would showing a different visual state based on its focus.
