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}"/>

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">

</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.

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">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility" Storyboard.TargetName="PressedBorder">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Visible"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentBorder">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Collapsed"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility" Storyboard.TargetName="DisabledBorder">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="Visible"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="CheckedBorder">

</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Storyboard.TargetName="CheckedBorder">

</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<!--TODO: Change this Margin if you don't like the big gaps between things-->

</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.

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>

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>

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:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="PhoneDisabledTextBoxTemplate" TargetType="TextBox">
<ContentControl x:Name="ContentElement" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" Margin="{StaticResource PhoneTextBoxInnerMargin}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch"/>

XAML:
<TextBox Style="{StaticResource TransparentTextBoxStyle}"/>
Refered from : TRANSPARENT TEXTBOX FOR WINDOWS PHONE
I am using windows phone sdk using xaml and here the textbox' properties doesnt show option for making it multi-lined. So what code should I write in the textbox for making it multined and rendering the scrollbar visible in the phone demonstartor.
This style makes the Textbox multiline and also enables scrolling vertically

and below is how you apply it on a textbox.
<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="72" Margin="0,161,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="456" Style="{StaticResource TextBoxStyle1}"/>
Hope it Helps.
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
AcceptsReturns="True" MaxHeight="100">
It needs to set MaxHeight to ensure that it remains a sensible size.
I had same issue and this style help me a lot. try this
