Create Round Button with Border IN UWP Windows 10 C#

Create Round Button with Border IN UWP Windows 10 C# - c#

I am trying to create a round button, with a White Border and a Transparent Background (as the old AppBarButtons in Windows 8.1) in UWP Windows 10.
I have found several samples like these:
https://comentsys.wordpress.com/2015/05/23/windows-10-universal-windows-platform-custom-button/
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/cda7a526-5e99-4d4a-a73c-0be4ce77f961/uwpwindows10-how-to-make-button-with-round-edges?forum=wpdevelop&prof=required
But the problem is with the Border.
When I setting the BorderBrush to a certain color, it turns out the Border is for Button's "Rectangle".
Is there a way I can create a Round border for a button?

Are you looking for something like this?
<StackPanel>
<Button Background="Transparent">
<StackPanel>
<Border CornerRadius="10"
Background="Transparent"
BorderBrush="White"
BorderThickness="3">
<TextBlock Text="MyButton"
Margin="10"
Foreground="White"/>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</StackPanel>

There are few ways to achieve this, one by using a style can look like this - remove BorderBrush from ContentPresenter and add an Ellipse with that brush. Sample in XAML:
<Page.Resources>
<Style x:Key="CircleButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlBackgroundBaseLowBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundTransparentBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonBorderThemeThickness}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="8,4,8,4"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}"/>
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}"/>
<Setter Property="UseSystemFocusVisuals" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid x:Name="RootGrid">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal">

<PointerUpThemeAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="RootGrid"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">

</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter" VerticalAlignment="Center" AutomationProperties.AccessibilityView="Raw" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
<Ellipse x:Name="BorderCircle" Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="2"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Button Content="text" Width="50" Height="50" BorderBrush="Blue" Style="{StaticResource CircleButtonStyle}"/>
</Grid>
I've also made some changes in VisualStates so that it doesn't look weird once clicked/disabled.

I don't know if the OP is still interested in rounded corner buttons, but for sake of completeness I think it may be helpful for other users to point out, as the user peterincumbria said, that for the lastest build of Windows 10 (1809) there is a new property in the class Control: CornerRadius. So now the following code is enough:
<Button Content="DEMO"
Background="Transparent"
BorderThickness="1.0"
BorderBrush="White"
CornerRadius="10"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
Put this inside a Grid and we have a rounded corner button in the middle of the Page.

With version 1809 and later (even if you're targeting an earlier version like me below) you can just do this for an example of a round button:
<Button
Content="Stuff"
Windows10version1809:CornerRadius="90,90,90,90"
Height="64"
Width="64">
</Button>
and voila!
Make sure to add this at the top of your XAML with the other xmlns stuff.
xmlns:Windows10version1809="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation?IsApiContractPresent(Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract, 7)"

The approach I just used was to simply add CornerRadius to the "RootGrid" grid in the Button template.
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="RoundedButton">

<Grid x:Name="RootGrid" CornerRadius="10" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">

How to using XAML to access named control in template

I want to access named control in a template.
Like deep custom RadioButton, and add a TextBlock which name "tb_text"
Can I use XAML for this RadioButton to change tb_text.text?
Most of the articles I found are about code-behind not XAML.
Example:
<RadioButton Height="81" Width="617" Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle1}">
<RadioButton.tb_text>
[SOMETEXT WORD]
</RadioButton.tb_text>
</RadioButton>
Style:
<Style x:Key="RadioButtonStyle1" TargetType="RadioButton">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlForegroundBaseHighBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="8,6,0,0"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}"/>
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="120"/>

I need using XAML assign value to tb_text which inside the template, not c#.

How to do it in UWP:
First you need to create class with attached property:
public class Class1
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty tbtextProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached(
"tbtext", typeof(String), typeof(Class1), new PropertyMetadata(string.Empty));
public static void Settbtext(UIElement element, String value)
{
element.SetValue(tbtextProperty, value);
}
public static String Gettbtext(UIElement element)
{
return (String)element.GetValue(tbtextProperty);
}
}
And after it you should add to setters in your style:
<Setter Property="local:Class1.tbtext" Value="some text"></Setter>
Now edit your TextBlock inside template:
<TextBlock x:Name="tb_text" Grid.Column="1" Text="{TemplateBinding local:Class1.tbtext}"></TextBlock>
Here it is. Now you can use:
<RadioButton Height="81" Width="617" Style="{StaticResource RadioButtonStyle1}">
<local:Class1.tbtext>
SOMETEXT WORD
</local:Class1.tbtext>
</RadioButton>

Different height of Button with image in wp8

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.

VisualStateManager in Windows Phone 8

I'm trying to change the appearance of the button when the mouse pointer over it using VisualStateManager. But it does not work. Help, please!
XAML
<Button x:Name="button" Background="AntiqueWhite" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" MouseEnter="button_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="button_MouseLeave">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="ColorState">
<VisualState x:Name="MouseEnter">
<Storyboard Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background">
<ColorAnimation To="Aquamarine" Duration="0:1:30"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="MouseLeave"/>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</Button>
С#
private void button_MouseEnter(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
{
bool bol = VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, MouseEnter.Name, true);
}
private void button_MouseLeave(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
{
bool bol = VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, MouseLeave.Name, true);
}

Your VistualStateManager is not correct. As far as I know there is no "MouseEnter" but there is a MouseOver
Here's the complete ControlTemplate for a <Button>. I comment out the default behavior for the MouseOver State and coded in your Color Change Animation. All you have to do is set any Button's Style to this "Chubs_ButtonStyle" and it will highlight to Aquamarine. Hopes this helps.

Transparent textbox when textbox GotFocussed Windows Phone 8.1?

I need to have transparent textbox, in my WindowsPhone 8.1 Runtime application.
I made Background="Transparent" to the textbox, so it is transparent when it is loaded.
But on focus, background color changed to white. I write the following code, to make it transparent. But it doesn't run.!
<TextBox Background="Transparent" GotFocus="titleBox_GotFocus" />
C#
private void titleBox_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
titleBox.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Transparent);
}

The problem is that when you the TextBox gets focused, the StoryBoard is changing the Background to ThemeResource - the TExtBox by default is designed to do that. Of course you can change it - as you are targetting WP8.1 Runtime, you will have to play with VisualStaes of your TextBox. To say more, you will have to change Focused state:
<VisualState x:Name="Focused">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Storyboard.TargetName="BorderElement">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource TextSelectionHighlightColorThemeBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="0" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="PlaceholderTextContentPresenter"/>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="BackgroundElement">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Transparent"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
In the code above, I've changed the third animation, so now it sets Transparent to Background.
The complete Style (taken from Blend) can look like this:

And you use it like this:
<TextBox Background="Transparent" GotFocus="titleBox_GotFocus" Style="{StaticResource TransparentStyle}"/>

You can make the Textbox transparent always by applying the following style,
Style:

How to add style to Listbox Items using Blend

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.

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 the below style in it
<Style x:Key="style_ColorButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Gray"/>
<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">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentContainer">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="White"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackground">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Black">
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackground">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Gray"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</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="{StaticResource PhoneDisabledBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" 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">
<ContentControl x:Name="ContentContainer" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Using this style with a button.
<Button Height="40" Width="40" Name="btnAcceptCrop" Click="btnAcceptCrop_Click" Style="{StaticResource style_ColorButton}"/>

Develop Reference

C# (C-Sharp) is a programming language developed by Microsoft that runs on the .NET Framework.

Create Round Button with Border IN UWP Windows 10 C# - c#

Are you looking for something like this? <StackPanel> <Button Background="Transparent"> <StackPanel> <Border CornerRadius="10" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="3"> <TextBlock Text="MyButton" Margin="10" Foreground="White"/> </Border> </StackPanel> </Button> </StackPanel>

The approach I just used was to simply add CornerRadius to the "RootGrid" grid in the Button template. <Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="RoundedButton"> ... <Grid x:Name="RootGrid" CornerRadius="10" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"> ... </Style>
