I have an application that will need to make the button text flash/blink depending on a dependency object (the sample XAML below uses check box's IsChecked). I've tried many different tricks I've seen on Google search, to no avail.
Below is the sample XAML code I created for this purpose, and there must be something I am missing. Can someone help on this?

Two things and it will work:
your binding syntax is wrong. It has to be
Binding="{Binding Path=IsChecked, ElementName=checkBox1}"
and remove Storyboard.TargetName="txtButtonFace" from your Storyboard because you can't use a TargetName in a Style.

im using a button which contains a popup control. Now i want the popup control to align on top of the button and it should also be centered.

The code snippet works, but if I use another computer to compile my code, the popup isn't aligned anymore. Is there a better way to do this?
Have you forgotten set the PlacementTarget attribute of the Popup?
Hope that this helps:
<Popup ... PlacementTarget="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"></Popup>
I have a TextBox and a ComboBox. I want them both to flicker whenever some dependency property, BlinkDepProp, is set to true:

The snippet above works for the TextBox element, but I want to apply it to the ToggleButton of the ComboBox as well. I created the ComboBoxControlTemplate ControlTemplate (doesn't really matter, but it's in some ResourceDictionary that resides in a separate XAML file).
My question is: how do I trigger both the TextBox and the ComboBox to act identically (same colours, identical flickering rate and phase, ...), and respond to the same BlinkDepProp (defined in the containing UserControl)?
What exactly didn't work?
On my little example textbox and combobox are blinking.

You can try setting the ComboBox's Background to some Binding to the TextBox's Background when the DataTrigger is fired like this:
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyDataContext.SomeList}"
Template="{DynamicResource ComboBoxControlTemplate}"
SelectedValue="{Binding MyDataContext.SelectedEntry}"
Grid.Row="1">
<ComboBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="ComboBox">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=BlinkDepProp,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource
AncestorType={x:Type loc:DevicesRepositoryEditorUserControl}}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding Background, ElementName=tb}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ComboBox.Style>
</ComboBox>
I suppose your TextBox's Name is tb.

I try to create add IsPressed trigger, but it don't have.
so,How do I do that.
Thanks.
Try this
and choose color according to your requirement

i'm trying to make a list of expanders, while only one expander is selected..
Now i've overrided the expander to look as i wanted to be.
In the header i've got ToggleButton, which i binded Command to it.
basicly i want to do an action every time i expand an expander from the list
So the list is that:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding DeviceEvents}" Style="{DynamicResource EventsList}"/>
The list style:
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem" x:Key="listboxEventitemDisableBackground">
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}"/>
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<ContentPresenter Margin="0,0,0,6"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="EventsList" TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseListProps}">
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Disabled"/>
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Disabled"/>
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
<Setter.Value>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle" Value="{StaticResource listboxEventitemDisableBackground}"/>
</Style>
Now, each object in the list binded to ViewModel, which described this way:
<Expander Name="check" Margin="0,0,0,0" Header="Test" Style="{StaticResource EventTileExpander}">
<StackPanel>
Some Content...
</StackPanel>
</Expander>
The Important part is in this style: (on the MarkAsReadCommand binding)
<Style x:Key="EventTileExpander" TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Helvetica Neue LT Std Light"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="{Binding Path=IsSelected, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ListBoxItem}}}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top" Name="ExpanderBorder" Background="#51000000">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ToggleButton Content="{TemplateBinding Header}"
Template="{DynamicResource AnimatedExpanderTemplate}"
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsExpanded, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
Command="{Binding MarkAsReadCommand}"/>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="ExpanderContent" ContentSource="Content" Grid.Row="1" Margin="10,-13,0,0">

<QuarticEase EasingMode="EaseOut" />
</EasingDoubleKeyFrame.EasingFunction>
</EasingDoubleKeyFrame>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<!-- Shrink in -->

So i basicly tried many things to make it work, but no success..
i don't know why only somethings the command executed (there is not condition to the command).
i use RelayCommand by Mvvm Light..
it's like the click not always catches by the control..
any help would be appreciated.
I would suspect it is to do with your animations. Could it be that while they are expanding in/out there is effectively no background to capture the mouse clicks?
my problem is that i have three tab controls each with a listbox that has style for both the ListBox and the ItemContainerStyle, the styles are the same on all listboxes inside the tabs.
two of the tabs are databound using a CollectionViewSource.
The problem is as soon as i try to go into tab 2 i get an exception and i cant seem to find out where from (i tired enabling first chance exceptions as well and nothing )
playing around with it i found out that if i remove the ItemContainerStyle form the ListBox in tab two it no longer crashes. another way to stop it form crashing is not to have any items in the listbox. and another way is instead of using a CollectionViewSource
use a GetDefaultView() on the list and bind to that.
here are the lines i use to bind to the listboxes:
this.FListViewSource = (this.FindResource("FirstCollectionViewSource") as AutoRefreshCollectionViewSource);
this.FListViewSource.Source = this.FirstList;
this.FListView = (this.FListViewSource.View as ListCollectionView);
this.SListViewSource = (this.FindResource("SecondCollectionViewSource") as AutoRefreshCollectionViewSource);
this.SListViewSource.Source = testing;
this.SListView = (this.SListViewSource.View as ListCollectionView);
this is the XAML for the tab control :
<TabControl Width="Auto" Height="Auto">
<TabItem Header="tab 1">
<StackPanel Name =first_Panel" >
<ListBox Style="{StaticResource lb_ms}" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource black_lb}" Width="160" Name="first_lb"
