Rounded Corner TextBox in WPF - c#

i search the web for TextBox with rounded corners and find a xaml code like below:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type my1:CustomTextBox}">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate >
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" x:Name="Bd"
BorderThickness="2" CornerRadius="5" BorderBrush="#FFF9EAB6">
***<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" />***
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FFC7B0B0"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Bd" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FFC7B0B0"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FFC7B0B0"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Width" Value="Auto">
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="120"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Height" Value="Auto">
<Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="27"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
i want to find out what is
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" />
in detail and why not properly work my template if delete this line from it,
please tell me completely in detail.
thanks alot.

The part named "PART_ContentHost" contains the control core, this is the textbox itself, besides the adornments. The textbox's code behind will look for it, so if you rename of delete, the control wont work.
In this case, the content is scrollable (as a textbox can scroll text horizontally and vertically).

use this part of xaml deign :
<TextBox x:Name="usernameText" Height="30" Width="300" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="" FontSize="20" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" LostFocus="usernameText_LostFocus">
<TextBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Border}">
<Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="10"/>
</Style>
</TextBox.Resources>
</TextBox>

If you need a simple textbox with rounded corners, you can do it like that:
<Border Padding="5" CornerRadius="5" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="LightGray" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Background="White">
<TextBox Background="Transparent" BorderThickness="0">This is beautifull ;)</TextBox>
</Border>

The ScrollViewer contains the actual content of the control. Your control isn't a real textbox, but actually a border (with rounded corners) surrounding a ScrollViewer, into which you would then need to place your text. If you don't need scrolling, you can replace the ScrollViewer with a text box, i.e.:
change
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" />
to
<TextBox x:Name="PART_ContentHost" />

How to change the style of a button when pressed

I am trying to change the style of a button when I click on it while the app is running.
Like I have a button with a grey color, I want it to change to red when I click on it?
I tried to do it with the Click event, however the button still shows the default effect when I hover over the button.
Here is the WPF code I used.
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="btnExitDef">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF1E1E1E"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FFD6D6D6"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="13"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
CornerRadius="0"
BorderThickness="0"
Padding="0"
BorderBrush="#000">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
</ContentPresenter>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#fff"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
<Button Height="35" Width="45" Name="btnExit" Content="✕" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Click="btnExit_Click" Style="{StaticResource btnExitDef}"/>
You just need to edit the button's style and add another Trigger for the IsPressed property.
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Trigger>

Custom Style Button With Modified Background

I have a Button that I want to have an Orange Background with a White Foreground. When I mouse over the Button I would like it to display in DarkOrange. This is the Style I am using at the moment.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="DarkOrange"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
If I don't modify the original Background color of the my Button this style works fine. For example;
<Button Grid.Row="2" Content="SIGN IN" />
has no issues. However, when I want to change the default Background of the Button, i.e
<Button Grid.Row="2" Content="SIGN IN" Background="Orange"/>
the style does not work. I assume this is because I am now overriding the Background property that the IsMouseOver is attempting to change.
Is there a way I can achieve both a modified default Background and a IsMouseOver effect? I have also tried setting <Border Background="Orange"> but to no effect still.
You could just add a setter to your Style instead of adding a Background property to your Button. Like this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Orange"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
...
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
...
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Here is an another example of how to use it.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate x:Name="Border" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="Border" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="CP" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="CP" Property="TextBlock.Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="Background" Value="DarkOrange"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
This working fine with
<Button Grid.Row="2" Content="SIGN IN" Background="Orange"/>

How to set a borderless button which changes its color when mouse hovering in WPF

I want to override all my button's style to a borderless grayish button which highlights when hover on.
I wrote like below:
If I remove the template section (I even have no idea of what does it do), the button will have a border even if I have set BorderThickness to 0.
But if I keep the template section, the button will not change its background color at all.
So what can I do to keep both features and why my xaml won't work?
BTW, where can I find a full list of properties/triggers that I can set for certain type of control like button?
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource TitleBrush}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource WhiteTextBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource HoverBrush}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
Why BorderThickness value not reflected to control?
https://stackoverflow.com/a/16649319/440030
Why your xaml won't work?
Because, you set Template property of button with a simple content presenter, So Button ignore all control property and reflect your template. One way is improve your Template property with a by example label:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Label Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="Black"/>
</ControlTemplate>
Try something like this it will work
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="buttonTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Rectangle x:Name="Rect" Width="100" Height="100" Fill="Aqua"/>
<Viewbox>
<ContentControl Margin="20" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"/>
</Viewbox>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Rect" Property="Fill" Value="Orange"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Grid.Resources>
<Button Template="{StaticResource buttonTemplate}">OK</Button>
</Grid>

How do I change the entire style of a button from code behind in realtime?

I have a button that flashes.
I would like to change the entire button style from a resource dictionary when ever it flashes.
I would think it would be like this:
DesktopWindow.AlertButton.Style = (Style)DesktopWindow.Resources["GreenAlertButtonStyle"];
But that doesn't work. How do I do this? I cannot simply change the background color (although that's all I really want to do) because I want to preserve the triggers. When ever I change the background of the button right now, the mouseover triggers stop working....
The button:
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="BaseAlertButtonStyle">
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="Show Alert List"/>
<Setter Property="Effect" Value="{DynamicResource dropShadow}" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource AlertButtonBackground}" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Border CornerRadius="5" x:Name="ButtonBorder" Margin="0,0,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" BorderThickness="0"
BorderBrush="#ffffff" Padding="0"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Image x:Name="alertImage">
<Image.Source>
<BitmapImage UriSource="/resources/alertIcon.png" />
</Image.Source>
</Image>
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource ButtonRolloverBackground}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I dont wanna hear it about doing a search for this issue....
Try:
DesktopWindow.AlertButton.Style = FindResource("GreenAlertButtonStyle") as Style;
After setting background explicitly you have to clear BackgroundProperty and then set new style.
button1.ClearValue(BackgroundProperty);

Transparent WPF ListBox with selectable items

Could anyone suggest how I can implement a WPF ListBox that (effectively) has a transparent/hit-test-invisible background, but whose items are still hit-test-visible?
In other words, I'd like to be able to click - through the ListBox's background - to controls underneath it, but still be able to select the ListBox's items.
I have ListBox using a custom layout panel (it's a ListBox because the items need to be selectable). However, I need this panel to be overlayed on top of other controls, allowing them to still be used normally.
I've tried various combinations of Background="Transparent" and IsHitTestVisible="False" but I suspect I might be on the wrong lines...
Hope this makes sense - I'm new to WPF so any guidance will be most appreciated! Thanks.
Try setting the background to "{x:Null} on the ListeItemContainer and the ListBox itself.
Transparent is still hit-testable, which is why you're still getting hit tests on it.
EDIT
I ran WPF Inspector on a sample and found that the ScrollViewer in the default ListBox template was causing mouse clicks to stay in the ListBox.
Here is a ListBox control template that does not include the ScrollViewer. It does allow the mouse to pass through to the TextBox that is behind the listbox, but still allows the user to select items in the listbox.
