is there any way to override the default style of the radiobuttons, if it is placed in a menu?
but if it is in the window, it should look like ever. but i will not use x:key. it should found this automatically.
I see two solutions:
Create style with x:Key but place it in Menu.Resources - that way it will be only applied to menu items.
ItemsControls (Menu is one) have property called ItemContainerStyleSelector. You can create Your own StyleSelector and set style depending on container type.
it is very easy, if you know how :)
<style TargetType="{x:Type Menu}">
<Setter Property="Template>
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Menu}">
<ControlTemplate.Resources>
<Style Targettype="{x:Type Radiobutton}>
</Style>
</ControlTemplate>
<StackPanel IsItemsHost="True" Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" Height= {TemplateBinding Height} />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</style>
you have to control the writing of the keywords, because i write it so and not on Visual Studio.
override the menu standard with a stackpanel, because i had found no other way to set the Resources.
It is easy, but without the answer from Varius, i didn't found this.
You have to do the same for MenuItem.
I post this, because i think, it maybe would help other peoples with the same problem.
i had searched long time and find nothing.

From here I learned how to change the styling of dotted lines around focused button. I would like to apply the same thing on all focus-able elements of the current WPF application (or if not possible current page) in one place ( not doing separately for focus-able buttons, textboxes etc)
PS. Preferably in code behind
Define this Style in your App.Xaml .
<Application.Resources>
<Style x:Key="StyleFocusDefault" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
<Grid>
<Rectangle StrokeThickness="2" Stroke="Black" StrokeDashArray="2"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Application.Resources>
And then you can apply like : < ... FocusVisualStyle="{DynamicResource StyleFocusDefault}" .../>
This will change FocusVisualStyle for all Controls who have FocusVisualStyle property. You can further experiment with this appaorach for various controls.
I made a custom resource dictionary style for a TreeViewItem, but I am having difficulties with it.
<Style x:Key="StageTreeViewItem" TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TreeViewItem}}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gold"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="ArialN"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="20"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="TreeViewItem">
<Grid>
<Image Name="PrimaryButtonImage" Source="pack://application:,,,/Images/TreeViewItem/TreeViewItem_Normal.png"/>
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
The content/header of the TreeViewItem does not exist. I put "Stage One" as Header of the TreeViewItem, but it doesn't show up. Also, if I add multiple tree view items on another, it does not expand at all.
Another thing:
How can I remove the highlights when I select the tree view item? I want it to be transparent even when I hover over it and even when I click it. I don't want anything to happen, but I just don't know how, I tried everything.
Your provided code is not making it clear how you're setting header of TreeViewItem.
For other part of the question, you can use Triggers for events happening in WPF forms. Also have a look at this link, as you'll have to define a template for changing background color on mouse hover.
IsMouseOver Trigger not working in WPF
I've got a custom control in WPF, which has a variety of dependency properties that allow visual customization. For the sake of brevity I won't post the entire control, but it basically is setup like this:
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MyControl}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type MyControl}">
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderColor}">
// more stuff here
<ContentPresenter/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter>
</Setter>
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
The BorderColor property works fine if I set it directly, like this:
<ctl:MyControl BorderColor="Brushes.Red">....</ctl:MyControl>
But I want to set it application-wide. The problem I have is if I simply set the style with no key, it does not apply. Like this:
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ctl:MyControl}">
<Setter Property="BorderColor" Value="Brushes.Red"/>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
This does not do anything to the control. So I thought I'd just set a key and apply that style, like this:
<Style TargetType="{x:type ctl:MyControl}" x:Key="myStyle">....</Style>
<ctl:MyControl Style="{StaticResource myStyle}">.....</ctl:MyControl>
But this causes the control to vanish, I'm assuming because it's removing the Template. What am I doing wrong? With other framework controls you can just set the properties you want without losing the control template.
You need to inherit from the default style you have created.

How can I disable the visual style only for the tooltip, not for all the application, because if I do so it will change my toolstrip visual style and it will look ugly?

For some reason it just won't work. Thanks everybody.
I believe you are going to want to look into using the Tooltip.OwnerDraw Property. The example program in the MSDN Link has a style like what you are wanting.
If you're looking for a WPF solution you'll want to override the default template for the
ToolTip. Mark Hall's answer is correct if you're looking for a WinForms solution.
Update:
Posted this before the comment was added and the question was re-tagged as WinForms. I leave it here for anyone looking for a WPF solution.
XAML:
<ToolTip>
<ToolTip.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border Background="LightGoldenrodYellow" BorderBrush="DimGray" BorderThickness=".5" Padding="5">
<TextBlock Text="This is text"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ToolTip.Style>
</ToolTip>
I have a user-control and I want to use it in some other project. There is no problem when I set some value to its properties directly:
<local:MyUserControl prop1="val1" prop2="val2">
...
</local:MyUserControl>
But I can't apply a style to it. I tried:
<Window ...>
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="MyUserControlStyle" TargetType="{x:Type local:MyUserControl}">
<Setter Property="prop1" Value="val1"/>
<Setter Property="prop2" Value="val2"/>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<local:MyUserControl Style="{StaticResource ResourceKey=MyUserControlStyle}">
...
</local:MyUserControl>
</Grid>
</Window>
Where did I wrong? -Thanks
Using dear #Mario Vernari's instructions, I found it out that the problem was due to a bad strategy which I'd used to create my UserControl. I wanted to create a UserControl that be able to hold some other ones. So I had tried this:
<UserControl x:Class="MyNamespace.MyUserControl"
...
Style="{DynamicResource ResourceKey=MyUserControlStyle}">
<UserControl.Resources>
...
<Style x:Key="MyUserControlStyle" TargetType="{x:Type UserControl}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type UserControl}">
<Border BorderBrush="{Binding Path=DP1}">
...
<ContentPresenter ... Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
...
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
</UserControl>
Where DP1 is a dependency property of type Brush. The UserControl which has been created through this way works if you set its properties (like DP1) directly. Absolutely this is not the true way as #Mario told me:
...When you use an UserControl, it means that you already know its layout, and there is no need to style the control further. You are defining its style twice at the same time thus results a collision...
And he added:
Instead, you should use a CustomControl; Define the default style in the Themes folder (if you own regular Visual Studio, it makes automatically). Afterward, you may override the default style in your own app. In the same way you would do for a normal base class and its derived.
Follow this:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFCustomControl.aspx ...
Obviously, in this case we need to derive our lookless control from ContentControl class (instead of Control class). You may take a look at this & this to master the details.
Here, I give thanks to #Mario again. ;)
You are giving Style="{StaticResource ResourceKey=MyUserControlStyle}".
It's just - Style="{StaticResource MyUserControlStyle}".
