UWP databinding in an inherited control

I have a custom textbox control which I inherit from default TextBox. And on style I have added some additional xaml, one of which is this progress ring:
<toolkit:Loading x:Name="IsBusyLoader"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
Style="{StaticResource DefaultLoader}">
<ProgressRing Style="{StaticResource SmallRing}" />
</toolkit:Loading>
and I have to control its "IsLoading" with binding from where the control is being used. For that I created its binding in code behind of this control because it's a style so I wasn't sure how I can create that binding in xaml style with a dependency property.
public FluentTextBox() => DefaultStyleKey = typeof(FluentTextBox);
protected override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
base.OnApplyTemplate();
//GetTemplateChild
_isBusyLoader = GetTemplateChild("IsBusyLoader") as Loading;
//bindings
_isBusyLoader.SetBinding(Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls.Loading.IsLoadingProperty, new Binding { Mode = BindingMode.OneWay, Source = IsBusy });
}
public bool IsBusy
{
get => (bool) GetValue(IsBusyProperty);
set => SetValue(IsBusyProperty, value);
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsBusyProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("IsBusy", typeof(bool), typeof(FluentTextBox), new PropertyMetadata(null));
As you can see IsBusy is a dependency property. And I am binding to it on UI here I am using this custom textbox.
<controls1:FluentTextBox
Margin="4"
Header="Field 1"
IsBusy="{x:Bind IsBusy, Mode=OneWay}" />
Now IsBusy property here is actually in code behind the issue is when I update the IsBusy property from code behind, it doesn't reflect in UI. But I've used same IsBusy property somewhere else on that page and it properly raises notifications to UI there so I am clear that part is working fine.
public bool IsBusy // code behind is busy property on my xaml page.
{
get => _isBusy;
set
{
_isBusy = value;
RaisePropertyChanged(nameof(IsBusy));
}
}
Note that when I create the binding and set it to "true" in source then my custom textbox shows that progress ring as expected. I have also tried setting the source in binding to IsBusyProperty but that doesn't work either.
_isBusyLoader.SetBinding(Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls.Loading.IsLoadingProperty, new Binding { Mode = BindingMode.OneWay, Source = true });

Instead of overriding OnApplyTemplate(), you should be able to bind directly to the IsBusy property in your ControlTemplate:
<toolkit:Loading x:Name="IsBusyLoader" IsLoading="{x:Bind IsBusy, Mode=TwoWay}" ... />
Note that you should set the Mode property since the default mode of compiled (x:Bind) bindings is OneTime.
You should also specify a valid default valuu when you register the dependency property:
public static readonly DependencyProperty IsBusyProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(IsBusy), typeof(bool), typeof(FluentTextBox),
new PropertyMetadata(false));

how to set ColorPickerSlider element, ColorChannel Property in UWP?

I Don't know,how to set colorChannel property of ColorPickerSlider dynamically in c#.I need ColorPickerSlider like the picture i added,based on color choosen from colorSpectrum.I don't Want to use ColorPicker Element.I need this as Separate Component.
ColorSpectrum ColorSpectrum = new ColorSpectrum();
ColorPickerSlider ColorPickerSlider = new ColorPickerSlider();
ColorPickerSlider.ColorChannel=???????;

In terms of style, we can consider a combined approach:
Rectangle + ColorPickerSlider
Use Rectangle as the background and ColorPickerSlider as the actual function slider.
<Grid Width="300" Height="40">
<Rectangle Height="15" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="300" x:Name="BackgroundRect"/>
<ColorPickerSlider ColorChannel="Hue" Style="{StaticResource ColorPickerSliderStyle}"/>
</Grid>
Modify Rectangle background color
var stopCollection = new GradientStopCollection();
stopCollection.Add(new GradientStop() { Color = Colors.Black, Offset=0 });
stopCollection.Add(new GradientStop() { Color = Colors.Purple, Offset=1 });
var brush = new LinearGradientBrush(stopCollection,0);
BackgroundRect.Fill = brush;

Update
About calculating gradient color
We have two colors: black and purple:
Black (RGB) : 0 0 0
Purple (RGB): 128 0 128
Let ’s assume that the Thumb of ColorPickerSlider is in the middle, with a value of 50 (the maximum value of Slider is 100)
So we can get the middle color as (RGB) 64 0 64

How to Change BackgroundColor of DatePicker's inner Textbox

What I want to do is to change the Background from the TextBox that is inside the DatePicker.
I tried to get it work by adding the <Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}" but had no success because I already have other <Style> there.
Here is my <DatePicker>:
<DatePicker Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center" MinHeight="20">
<DatePicker.SelectedDate>
<Binding Path="ViewModel.Value" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged"
RelativeSource="{RelativeSource TemplatedParent}"/>
</DatePicker.SelectedDate>
<DatePicker.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=ViewModel.IsDirty}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightYellow"/>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},
Path=ViewModel.IsInvalid}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Red"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Style>
</DatePicker>
So when the IsDirty is triggered the Backgroundgets LightYellow but the inner TextBox Background is still White.
How do I change this Background as well?

In your Style, just add the desired DatePickerTextBox style as a resource:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="DatePickerTextBox">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<!-- your triggers here -->
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

You can set the background regularly, and set style to the DatePicker, and set it property such <LinearGradientBrush> or <SolidColorBrush>
(improvement on the answer of dymanoid)
<DatePicker FontSize="22"
Text="{Binding Date, Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Margin="5 0">
<DatePicker.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="White" Opacity="0.35"/>
</DatePicker.Background>
<DatePicker.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="DatePickerTextBox">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="White" Opacity="0"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
</DatePicker.Style>
</DatePicker>

ListView background colour not working

I have a simple listView put inside other elements.
Since I want to simulate an explorer style I have done that:
<ListView x:Name="lvAllowedPPtab2" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="12" Background="{x:Null}" BorderBrush="Gainsboro" BorderThickness="5" Margin="10" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" >
<ListView.ItemsPanel >
<ItemsPanelTemplate >
<WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Width="250" Background="{x:Null}" VerticalAlignment="Top"></WrapPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
</ListView>
the problem is that by doing that the background gets coloured while i want it to be transparent = null.
By looking at that
Datagrid foreground colour not working
as a workaround i've searched for something similar but didn't find any similar event.
Don't know if posting my complete xaml helps

the same problems happens everywhere in my xaml. Even just adding a empty listview with a transparent or null background makes it darkblue. I think I can't override the presets of my styled winwdow.

HorizontalAlignment Issue

I am using Silverlight 5 and Telerik library.
I have set my RadPanelBar HorizontalAlignment to stretch. When my control is displayed the first time, it takes the size of its parent control. But the problem is, when my data grows horizontally, my panelbar grows with it!
Here goes my code, I have put all the controls to horizontalalignment to stretch, but no effect:
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate">
<ScrollViewer HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
VerticalAlignment="Top">
<ItemsControl x:Name="Test"

<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<toolkit:WrapPanel Orientation="Vertical"

</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>

</telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</telerik:RadPanelBar.ItemTemplate>
</telerik:RadPanelBar>
</Grid>
</telerik:RadBusyIndicator>

Can anyone help?

The problem is solved with the support of Telerik Team.
Here goes the code for the edited template of the RadPanelBar:

The default scrollviewer had to be removed from the RadPanelBar default style.
