Transparent textbox when textbox GotFocussed Windows Phone 8.1? - c#

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:
<Page.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TransparentStyle" TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlThemeMinWidth}"/>
<Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="{ThemeResource TextControlThemeMinHeight}"/>

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,

Create Round Button with Border IN UWP Windows 10 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">

<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">

</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Fill" Storyboard.TargetName="BorderCircle">

</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentPresenter">

<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource SystemControlHighlightBaseHighBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>

<Ellipse x:Name="BorderCircle" Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="2"/>
</Grid>

</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)"

Although I changed the foreground color to white the placeholder text is showing in grey.
In normal textBox placeholder text i shown white as I want. Does anybody know if i have to add some property or something
Just if somebody get stuck in some same situation, to change the placeholder color there is a property tag in the style and there somebody can change the foreground property.
<ContentControl x:Name="PlaceholderTextContentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding PlaceholderText}"
Foreground="White"
IsTabStop="False" Margin="{ThemeResource RichEditBoxTextThemeMargin}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" Grid.Row="1"/>

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.
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>

Apply the style to a button like so
<Button x:Name="button" Background="AntiqueWhite" Grid.Column="0" Width="100" Height="100" Style="{StaticResource Chubs_ButtonStyle}"/>

My TextBox vanishes when I add a VisualState

I try to use Visual States in a Windows Phone 8 application (C#-XAML). The screen is dark. Here is the style I defined in App.xaml:
<Style x:Key="StyleDeBaseTextBox" TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="SelectionBackground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="SelectionForeground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBackgroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="InputScope" Value="Text"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="40px"/>
</Style>
It works, but when the TextBox has the focus, its background becomes white. As the foreground color remains white, you can't read what you write. So, I added this property, but the result is that my TextBox disappears (though I get no error message):
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
<Grid>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled"/>
<VisualState x:Name="PointerOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="ButtonVisible"/>
<VisualState x:Name="ButtonCollapsed"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Focused">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="TextBox" Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" To="Green" Duration="0"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
TextBox vanishes because you override its ControlTemplate and doesn't provide any content host.
Copy the default template of TextBox from MSDN and change the StoryBoard as per your needs.
Anyhow this is ControlTemplate which you can use. It also change border brush to green on focus. Hope this is what you want:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBoxBase">
<Border BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Panel.Background}"
Name="border"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
Name="PART_ContentHost"
Focusable="False" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="UIElement.IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="UIElement.Opacity" TargetName="border" Value="0.56"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="UIElement.IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Border.BorderBrush" TargetName="border"
Value="#FF7EB4EA"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="UIElement.IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Border.BorderBrush" TargetName="border"
Value="Green"/>
</Trigger>

ToggleButton does not fill the area(windows phone)

When I create ToggleButton it does not fill all area in grid. I think it's because the pressing area is more than viewable area of the button. How can I make these areas equal?
<Grid Grid.Column="0">
<ToggleButton x:Name="ToggleHorizontal"
IsChecked="False"/>
</Grid>
By default toggle button (not only but it too) has touch area around visible border with thickness of 12 px (PhoneTouchTargetOverhang constant, see MSDN). You can see this by editing the style of toggle button in the Blend.
So you can set value of margin in your XAML to -12:
<Grid Grid.Column="0">
<ToggleButton x:Name="ToggleHorizontal" Margin="-12"
IsChecked="False"/>
</Grid>
Or you can change this constant to 0 in toggle-button style.
Margin="{StaticResource PhoneTouchTargetOverhang}"
to
Margin="0"
Hope I correctly understood your question and my answer will be helpful
UPD: I think it's easier to set Margin value directly to your toggle button, but if you wish...
Add this to your resource section in page and don't forget to set style to your toggle button:
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<Style x:Key="PhoneButtonBase" TargetType="ButtonBase">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
