I've created custom templated control and I'm using it as a "display" in my calculator app. It inherits directly from the Control class but I can't find a way to make it focusable by user's click. I'm overriding the OnGotFocus method to do some stuff but it's never fired.
I think there should be some property to enable the focus on click behaviour, but I haven't found it.
I know I could use the Tapped event or OnTapped method, but that's not what I need.
Here's my code in Generic.xaml:
<Style TargetType="controls:ResponsiveTextBox">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource PageBackgroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,0,0,2"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Right"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="10"/>

As discussed in the comment section, to have a similar behavior as the TextBox control, you will need to manually call
this.Focus(FocusState.Programmatic);
inside its Tapped event handler.

My first question!
I'm looking to create a single row of text-filled buttons in XAML (kind of like this, but without the icons: http://bootsnipp.com/img/screenshots/0f277634083d2f5fd6c1bb54688da5b9b39bbc26.png), one of which can be selected at a time, similar to radio buttons. The RadioButton control has the right functionality, but the wrong aesthetic, and none of the styles or templates I've made seem to work correctly.
Is there any other control that would provide me with a way to create this row of buttons that keeps the functionality of the RadioButton? Or is there a way to template out the RadioButton so it looks like a text filled button?
Thanks!
Designing custom templates is hard :-), especially if you want to deal correctly with all possible state transitions (you can't change the same property of an object across different groups). Here's one I threw together for you though; there are a couple of TODOs if you want to change simple stuff (if you're more adventurous you can change other things, too).
First, the XAML: Paste this into your page, replacing everything except the opening and closing tags of the PhoneApplicationPage itself. You can also move the Resources to your App.xaml file if you want to use the style elsewhere:
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TabControl" TargetType="RadioButton">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<!--TODO: Change this BorderBrush if you want a different colour-->
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#4060ff"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBorderThickness}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMedium}"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="{StaticResource PhoneTouchTargetOverhang}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="RadioButton">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">

<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Visible"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentBorder">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Collapsed"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>

</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">

</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<!--TODO: Change this Margin if you don't like the big gaps between things-->
<Grid Margin="{StaticResource PhoneTouchTargetOverhang}">

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent">
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Grid x:Name="container">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<RadioButton Content="home" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource TabControl}" IsChecked="True"/>
<RadioButton Content="stuff" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource TabControl}" />
<RadioButton Content="info" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource TabControl}" />
<RadioButton Content="more..." Grid.Column="3" Style="{StaticResource TabControl}" />
</Grid>
<CheckBox x:Name="toggle" Content="show disabled" Checked="toggle_Checked" Unchecked="toggle_Unchecked"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
Now a little bit of code to show enable / disable state:
private void toggle_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
foreach (var control in container.Children)
(control as RadioButton).IsEnabled = false;
}
private void toggle_Unchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
foreach (var control in container.Children)
(control as RadioButton).IsEnabled = true;
}
I have a button defined in my xaml as
<Button BorderBrush="Transparent" Click="Menu_Btn" Margin="71,584,0,-2" Height="36" Width="38" Padding="0">
<Image Source="Assets/menu.png" Stretch="UniformToFill" Height="36" Width="38"/>
</Button>
As can be seen, I have specifically set the height of button and width equal to the image, however in xaml it doesn't wrap the image properly and shows more width and height. What is going on?
Why is this box bigger, why can't I set margin properly instead of 40, I have to give 71 values.
<Button> have an extra Margin that is not part of the Properties you can edit in the Properties box. However, you can edit it by editing the template for it.
Document Online -> Select Button -> Edit Template -> Edit A Copy
Get rid of Margin="{StaticResource PhoneTouchTargetOverhang}" on the Border and it will stretch properly.

But all it does it complain, on the button: "Cannot resolve TargetName Border"
I'm trying to style the pressed visual state for the button. Does anyone know whats wrong?
Try the following link for customization of your button using a ControlTemplate: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc903963%28v=vs.95%29.aspx
In your XAML code In the Pressed State you are trying to modify a target called Border. The problem is that in your grid there is no such element. There is not border added to the grid nor there is a property called border available for a grid. And when you go to edit current template, it only shows a grid. There are nothing inside the grid. My advice is to discard the current style and create a new one. No need to mess with XAML because you can easily get this done using Blend for VS.
Try this tutorial, Explains from beginning to end how to customize a Button Style.
http://wpdevkvk.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/custom-xaml-controllers-i-adding-custom-styles-to-elements/
There's obviously no Border element to apply the color to.
What happens if you create a style like this one:
<Style x:Key="RedButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBorderThickness}"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilySemiBold}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMedium}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="10,5,10,6"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>

Is it possibile to remove a highlight style from a button in code behind in c#?
This is my Button declaration:
var button = new Button() { Content = text };
button.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
button.BorderThickness = new Thickness(0);
TiltEffect.SetIsTiltEnabled(button, true);
button.style = ????
Every button has a template attached to it and in ever template there are multiple visual states like pressed disabled etc.
You need to play with the visual states of a button and you could do it with the help of a style
Just look at the style below.
<Style x:Key="style_ColorButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBorderThickness}"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilySemiBold}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMediumLarge}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="10,3,10,5"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentContainer">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource PhoneDisabledBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackground">

<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Transparent"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Border x:Name="ButtonBackground" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" CornerRadius="0">

</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Using this style with a button.
<Button Height="40" Width="40" BorderThickness="0" Name="btnAcceptCrop" Click="btnAcceptCrop_Click" Style="{StaticResource style_ColorButton}" Background="Black" ForeGround="White"/>
setting the style in code
btnAcceptCrop.Style = (Style)App.Current.Resources["style_ColorButton"];
Declaring a style in a Page
Below all the namespace declaration in your page
Just make a tag
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
and declare your style inside it.
Hope this helps.
I have a List box code in the XAML, below is my code:
<!--ContentPanel - place additional content here-->
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="2" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<ListBox Name="listBox"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch"
SelectionChanged="TopicListboxSelectionChanged"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" >
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,10" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Border Background="Gray">
<TextBlock Height="50"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{Binding Path=Value}"></TextBlock>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
Now i need to add style to list box item, like the below image, along with onclick effect.
How to do it using Blend ? so that if i need to add styles to any other item tomorrow i can add it myself whithout seeking any help.
If there are any tutorials avaiable to learn, please provide me a link on that.
