WPF Layering (ZIndex) of Thumb in Slider style - c#

I have a custom Slider template and I want to place a content that sits above the Decrease and Repeat buttons but below the thumb. Ive tried adding zindex to the rectangle, which make it appear above everything, but I cannot figure out how to make the thumb appear above the rectangle
<!-- This is what I want to appear above the repeatbuttons but below the thumb -->
<Rectangle Height="8" Width="8" Fill="Yellow" Grid.Row="1" Panel.ZIndex="1" />
<Track x:Name="PART_Track" Grid.Row="1">
<Track.DecreaseRepeatButton>
<RepeatButton Command="{x:Static Slider.DecreaseLarge}" Style="{StaticResource DecreaseSliderRepeatButtonStyle}"/>
</Track.DecreaseRepeatButton>
<Track.IncreaseRepeatButton>
<RepeatButton Command="{x:Static Slider.IncreaseLarge}" Style="{StaticResource IncreaseSliderRepeatButtonStyle}"/>
</Track.IncreaseRepeatButton>
<Track.Thumb>
<Thumb x:Name="Thumb" Style="{StaticResource HorizontalSliderThumbStyle}"/>
</Track.Thumb>
</Track>
Here is the relevant style for the thumb
<Style x:Key="HorizontalSliderThumbStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Setter Property="Panel.ZIndex" Value="100"/>
<Setter Property="Focusable" Value="false"/>
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gray"/>
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Border Background="#E6323232" CornerRadius="8" Height="16">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!--<TextBlock FontFamily="Arial" x:Name="tbPlaybackTime" Margin="7,0,7,0" Text="09:35:00" FontSize="10" Foreground="#eee" Background="Transparent" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>-->
<TextBlock FontFamily="Arial" x:Name="tbPlaybackTime" Margin="7,0,4,0" Text="09:35:00" FontSize="10" Foreground="#eee" Background="Transparent" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
<Ellipse Grid.Column="1" Height="16" Width="16" Panel.ZIndex="10000">
<Ellipse.Fill>
<RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.5,0" RadiusX="1" Center="0.5,0.5" >
<RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops>
<GradientStop Color="#ffffff" Offset="0.3" />
<GradientStop Color="#cccccc" Offset="0.8" />
</RadialGradientBrush.GradientStops>
</RadialGradientBrush>
</Ellipse.Fill>
<Ellipse.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="3" Color="Black" Direction="270" Opacity="0.8" ShadowDepth="1" />
</Ellipse.Effect>
</Ellipse>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

here is a solution for placing your custom content over RepeatButton of a Slider
<Track Grid.Row="1"
x:Name="PART_Track">
<Track.Resources>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="RepeatButton"
x:Key="myRepeatbutton">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<RepeatButton IsHitTestVisible="False"
Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
Style="{TemplateBinding Style}" />
<Rectangle Height="8"
Width="8"
Fill="Yellow" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Track.Resources>
<Track.DecreaseRepeatButton>
<RepeatButton Command="Slider.DecreaseLarge"
Style="{StaticResource DecreaseSliderRepeatButtonStyle}"
Template="{StaticResource myRepeatbutton}" />
</Track.DecreaseRepeatButton>
<Track.Thumb>
<Thumb Style="{StaticResource HorizontalSliderThumbStyle}"/>
</Track.Thumb>
<Track.IncreaseRepeatButton>
<RepeatButton Command="Slider.IncreaseLarge"
Style="{StaticResource IncreaseSliderRepeatButtonStyle}"
Template="{StaticResource myRepeatbutton}" />
</Track.IncreaseRepeatButton>
</Track>
Idea is to leverage the Template property of RepeatButton and by using a custom ControlTemplate apply the desired apperance
there are other possible workaround using opacity masks etc. but may be a bit complex to align properly. so if above does not work your expected way, we can opt for that too.

WPF Progressbar with images and fill effect

I'd like to create custom progressbar style that will display image filling up from bottom.
I've created two images, background:
and foreground:
Idea is to create something like this:
Inside Blend I've created this style:
<Style x:Key="ImageFill" TargetType="{x:Type ProgressBar}">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ProgressBar}">
<Grid x:Name="TemplateRoot" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<Image x:Name="PART_Track" Source="Play_Background.png" Margin="1" Stretch="Fill"/>
<Rectangle x:Name="PART_Indicator" Margin="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Fill="#FFD6931C">
<Rectangle.OpacityMask>
<RadialGradientBrush>
<GradientStop Color="Black" Offset="0.87"/>
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0.87"/>
</RadialGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.OpacityMask>
</Rectangle>
<Image Source="Play_Foreground.png" Margin="1" Stretch="Fill"/>
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CornerRadius="2"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
But when setting value to something like 60 I get this:
I can change OpacitMmask to this:
<RadialGradientBrush Center="106,104" GradientOrigin="60,60" MappingMode="Absolute" RadiusY="97" RadiusX="98">
<GradientStop Color="Black" Offset="0.87"/>
<GradientStop Color="Transparent" Offset="0.87"/>
</RadialGradientBrush>
but then when I resize my progress bar I get unwanted behaviour:
How this can be fixed? I need mask to have MappingMode set to RelativeToBoundingBox so I can set different size to progressbar.
Below is full XAML I've generated in Blend:
<Window x:Class="ImageProgressBar.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

I've found http://vbcity.com/blogs/xtab/archive/2009/11/24/wpf-controltemplates-creating-a-non-rectangular-progressbar.aspx but can't use this inside my style.
I've managed to create style that has effect I wanted.

I've actually created two styles:
First one is using two images (top two from my question) and circle
between them. Idea was to fill circle from bottom or from left.
Circle is filled with foreground color.
Second is much simpler, it uses only two images (empty and filled). When value changes filled image, that is on top of empty, is shown from left or from bottom. I've used canvas that is filled with image and I change it width or height.
I'm just starting with WPF, so is someone knows a better solution please post answer.
Below I'm adding two images used by second style applied to third progressbar.
Check this out WPF: Anchor points don't work well sometimes The problem is that your sizing and margins are absolutes not relative the the size of your control.

WPF Scrollbar Style issue

I have a standard GridView and a standard TreeView, with no style / control templates implemented, just some basic customisation (background, foreground etc). I do, however, have a Scrollbar style that's set to apply to all scroll bars {x:Type ScrollBar}. It works perfectly, but I get a small white box between the scrollbars on both my TreeView and Image on other pages.
They're all hosted in a grid with a border or two - identically as far as I can tell. I've tried setting the border, foreground and background colors for just about every control on the page to no avail. I don't really want to define a TreeView style if possible, especially if that's not going to fix the issue.
Any ideas what I need to do to format that little white box? Code for my Scrollbar is below - it's fairly standard. I'll post the XAML for the windows themselves if necessary.

And attention to this one
<Rectangle x:Name="Corner" Grid.Column="1" Fill="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}}" Grid.Row="1"/>
Just change its Fill color

Can't eliminate padding/margin between Tiles in Windows 8 Metro 'ListView'

I'm trying to build two ListView objects within a StackPanel and have all of the ItemTemplate Tiles "touch" each other (meaning no margin or padding within the ListViews). It seems that Windows 8 Metro has some sort of built-in padding/margin. My question: How do I remove these or set them to 0?
Here is my code:
<StackPanel x:Name="teesSP"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Orientation="Horizontal"
VerticalAlignment="Top" >
<ListView x:Name="timesLV1"
SelectionMode="Multiple"
SelectionChanged="timesLV_Click"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource TimeTileTemplate}">
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>
<ListView x:Name="timesLV2"
SelectionMode="Multiple"
SelectionChanged="timesLV_Click"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource TimeTileTemplate}">
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>
</StackPanel>
My ItemTemplate is:
<DataTemplate x:Key="TimeTileTemplate">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" Background="White" >
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2" >
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,0" Orientation="Horizontal"
Width="130" Height="60" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<TextBlock Margin="2,0,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap"
Style="{StaticResource ItemSubtitleStyle}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Text="{Binding startTime}" Width="70" />
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap"
Style="{StaticResource ItemTitleStyle}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Text="{Binding startHole}" Width="40" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
...and it renders the following:
You should supply a negative Margin:
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,-8" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
After 1 hour searching. Here is a way better solution than the negative margin:
Following, the code allowing you to have the margin you want! (here: 0)
<Style x:Key="ListViewItemStyle1" TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
<ListViewItemPresenter ContentMargin="0" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
...
<ListView ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListViewItemStyle1}">
//your listView items
</ListView>
I have already found rather clear solution for this problem!
<Style x:Key="NoSpacesListViewItemStyle" TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
<ListViewItemPresenter ContentMargin="0" SelectionCheckMarkVisualEnabled="False" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<ListView IsSwipeEnabled="False"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource NoSpacesListViewItemStyle}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource SomeTemplate}"
ItemsSource="{Binding SomeData}"
SelectionMode="None"/>
Also I can admit that Selection borders will not work in this case. So this method is not appropriate for ListViews with selection.
There is full default ListViewItemStyle with same changes:
<Style x:Key="NoSpacesListViewItemStyle" TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlThemeFontFamily}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ControlContentThemeFontSize}" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local" />
<Setter Property="IsHoldingEnabled" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
<ListViewItemPresenter HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
CheckBrush="{ThemeResource ListViewItemCheckThemeBrush}"
CheckHintBrush="{ThemeResource ListViewItemCheckHintThemeBrush}"
CheckSelectingBrush="{ThemeResource ListViewItemCheckSelectingThemeBrush}"
ContentMargin="0"
ContentTransitions="{TemplateBinding ContentTransitions}"
DisabledOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDisabledThemeOpacity}"
DragBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragBackgroundThemeBrush}"
DragForeground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragForegroundThemeBrush}"
DragOpacity="{ThemeResource ListViewItemDragThemeOpacity}"
FocusBorderBrush="{ThemeResource ListViewItemFocusBorderThemeBrush}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
PlaceholderBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}"
PointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush}"
PointerOverBackgroundMargin="1"
ReorderHintOffset="{ThemeResource ListViewItemReorderHintThemeOffset}"
SelectedBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemSelectedBackgroundThemeBrush}"
SelectedBorderThickness="{ThemeResource ListViewItemCompactSelectedBorderThemeThickness}"
SelectedForeground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemSelectedForegroundThemeBrush}"
SelectedPointerOverBackground="{ThemeResource ListViewItemSelectedPointerOverBackgroundThemeBrush}"
SelectedPointerOverBorderBrush="{ThemeResource ListViewItemSelectedPointerOverBorderThemeBrush}"
SelectionCheckMarkVisualEnabled="False" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Yes, there is a 4px Margin in the ListViewItem control's template (take a look at ContentBorder element):
<Border x:Name="OuterContainer">
<!-- Visual States -->
<Grid x:Name="ReorderHintContent" Background="Transparent">
<Path x:Name="SelectingGlyph" Data="F1 M133.1,17.9 L137.2,13.2 L144.6,19.6 L156.4,5.8 L161.2,9.9 L145.6,28.4 z" Fill="{StaticResource ListViewItemCheckSelectingThemeBrush}" FlowDirection="LeftToRight" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="13" Margin="0,9.5,9.5,0" Opacity="0" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="15"/>

You can override these Margins via this template editing with easy. Select an ListViewEditItem and perform the Edit Style->Edit a Copy...action.
EDIT: Apparently it is within the ListView template. Edit it in Blend 2012 that comes with VS2012 RTM.
Go to Blend, create a template copy, then go to the xaml within VS2012 XAML go to the at the top and go to the Margin's and set them all to 0.

But when i am trying to access that textbox, it's showing null.
here is my code behind.
private void txtCurrentPage_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
MainWindow mn = new MainWindow();
TextBox tb = (TextBox)mn.FindName("txtCurrentPage");
if (tb != null)
{
DocumentViewerReading.GoToPage(Convert.ToInt32(tb.Text));
}
}
Please Help
You don't need to find the control again, it's reference should be in the sender parameter.
private void txtCurrentPage_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
{
TextBox tb = (TextBox)sender;
if (tb != null)
{
DocumentViewerReading.GoToPage(Convert.ToInt32(tb.Text));
}
}
You were creating a new instance of a window every time the contents of the text box changes and attempting to look for a textbox within that new window, that's not quite how it should work, you've already got an instance of the window since the users are typing on it.
following is the complete solution :-
<Style x:Key="DocumentViewerStyle1" BasedOn="{x:Null}" TargetType="{x:Type DocumentViewer}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.WindowTextBrushKey}}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}}"/>

</LinearGradientBrush>

</Rectangle>
<!--<Image Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2" Width="100"/>-->
</DockPanel>
<!--<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" x:Name="txtBlock" Text="Hello World"/>-->
<ContentControl x:Name="PART_FindToolBarHost" Grid.Column="0" Focusable="{TemplateBinding Focusable}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,20,0" Grid.Row="0" TabIndex="2"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="tbTopicName" Text="" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,2,0,0" Foreground="#FF0758DC" FontSize="20" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
//And following is the Code Behind
Grid gMain = (Grid)DocumentViewerReading.Template.FindName("grdDocumentViewer", DocumentViewerReading);
TextBlock tb = (TextBlock)gMain.FindName("tbTopicName");
tb.Text = header;
That's it.
And Thanks Andy.

Silverlight - Style ScrollViewer for Listbox

so i have been trying to style a scrollviewer, so that i can change the appearance of a scroll bar. But the problem I am facing, is that when I apply the scrollviewer style to the ListBox, I never see the content anymore.
This is the current style I have: (Unchanged from the default at the moment)
<Style x:Key="CustomScrollViewerStyle" TargetType="ScrollViewer">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Visible"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="4"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FFA3AEB9" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF8399A9" Offset="0.375"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF718597" Offset="0.375"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF617584" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ScrollViewer">
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CornerRadius="2">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ScrollContentPresenter x:Name="ScrollContentPresenter" Cursor="{TemplateBinding Cursor}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"/>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="1" Fill="#FFE9EEF4" Grid.Row="1"/>
<ScrollBar x:Name="VerticalScrollBar" Grid.Column="1" IsTabStop="False" Maximum="{TemplateBinding ScrollableHeight}" Margin="0,-1,-1,-1" Minimum="0" Orientation="Vertical" Grid.Row="0" Visibility="{TemplateBinding ComputedVerticalScrollBarVisibility}" Value="{TemplateBinding VerticalOffset}" ViewportSize="{TemplateBinding ViewportHeight}" Width="18"/>
<ScrollBar x:Name="HorizontalScrollBar" Grid.Column="0" Height="18" IsTabStop="False" Maximum="{TemplateBinding ScrollableWidth}" Margin="-1,0,-1,-1" Minimum="0" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="1" Visibility="{TemplateBinding ComputedHorizontalScrollBarVisibility}" Value="{TemplateBinding HorizontalOffset}" ViewportSize="{TemplateBinding ViewportWidth}"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
And my actual ListBox xaml is:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Transparent" Height="250">
<ListBox x:Name="iListBox" DataContext="{Binding}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ListVM.MyCollection}"
BorderBrush="Transparent" Background="Transparent"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}">
<ListBox.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ItemsControl">
<ScrollViewer Style="{StaticResource CustomScrollViewerStyle}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</ListBox.Template>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate >
<DataTemplate >
<Grid Background="Transparent" Loaded="Grid_Loaded">
<IReviewerList1:MyCollectionDataItem />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
Currently all I see is a scrollbar and no dataItems anymore. Was wondering what i was doing wrong? Any help would be great.
Thanks
The problem is that the ListBox doesn't know where to inject it's Items. If you insert a ItemsPresenter in the styled ScrollViewer the items should be visible again.
<ListBox.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ItemsControl">
<ScrollViewer Style="{StaticResource CustomScrollViewerStyle}">
<!-- I'm not sure if the correct name is necessary, or if
it's just for applying visual states -->
<ItemsPresenter x:Name="itemsPresenter" />
</ScrollViewer>
</ControlTemplate>
</ListBox.Template>
