Fire click on templated button - xaml

I want to create a custom button reveal template. I won't use Style={ThemeResource ButtonRevealStyle} for some reason. So, I've added ListViewItem inside button control template.
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="ButtonListView">
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid Control.IsTemplateFocusTarget="True">
<StackPanel>
<ListViewItem>
<ContentPresenter></ContentPresenter>
</ListViewItem>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Button Style="{ThemeResource ButtonListView}" Click="list_refresh">
<TextBlock Text="Button Content"/>
</Button>
Illustration:
But click event doesn't fire when I clicked on it. I think it fires on ListViewItem, not the button. And the most confusing thing is, it could fires using keyboard.

Fire click on templated button
As #Vincent said ListViewItem is the first one to capture your click event, for your scenario, we suggest you custom button reveal style and use ListViewItem reveal theme resource. Or use Button Tapped event to replace.
For exampl:
<Style x:Key="CudtomButtonRevealStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{ThemeResource ListViewItemRevealBackground}" />

</VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

</Setter>
</Style>
Usage
<Button
VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
Click="Button_Click"
Content="Connect"
Style="{ThemeResource CudtomButtonRevealStyle}" />

This is the focus problem. When you use a keyboard, you could use Tab to move focus to Button, so it fires the click event.
When you use a pointer, and press on the Button, ListViewItem is the first one to capture your click event, you can add a Tapped event to ListViewItem to prove it.
So If you insist want the Button to respond to your pointer, I think you can remove the ListViewItem.
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid Control.IsTemplateFocusTarget="True">
Add button content here
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>

UWP-CPP/Winrt Make a Line Control of the ListViewItem Data Template only visible when selected

I am planning to show a list of objects using ListView. According to the design when an Item is selected a blue line should appear in the content of the Item.

There is an approach could be used to access the BlueLine object in code behind when a ListViewItem is selected by using VisualTreeHelper class.
Please check the following code:
Add headers and namespaces:
#include <winrt/Windows.UI.Xaml.Shapes.h>
#include <winrt/Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.h>
using namespace winrt::Windows::UI::Xaml::Shapes;
using namespace Windows::UI::Xaml::Media;
Add a private member in .h file:
private:
Line previousLine{ nullptr };
Access the BlueLine object in code behind:
void winrt::ListViewStyle::implementation::MainPage::ObjectList_SelectionChanged(winrt::Windows::Foundation::IInspectable const& sender, winrt::Windows::UI::Xaml::Controls::SelectionChangedEventArgs const& e)
{
if (previousLine != nullptr)
{
previousLine.Visibility(Visibility::Collapsed);
}
auto selectedItemContainer = ObjectList().ContainerFromItem(ObjectList().SelectedItem());
auto presenter = VisualTreeHelper::GetChild(selectedItemContainer.try_as<DependencyObject>(), 0);
auto grid = VisualTreeHelper::GetChild(presenter, 0);
auto line = VisualTreeHelper::GetChild(grid, 0).try_as<Line>();
line.Visibility(Visibility::Visible);
previousLine = line;
}

How to modify CCSelectionButton's flyout style of MediaPlayerElement on Xbox?

As the picture shows, MediaPlayerElement has no friendly UI on XBox, it's so ugly comparing to Apple TV and Android TV. Now I want the change the Flyout of CCSelectionButton.
Change the selected item's background and foreground.
Remove the default select style.
I have followed the advice of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/controls-and-patterns/custom-transport-controls, but found no idea.
I didn't find the relevant style code in the default MediaTransportControls style. It should be due to the variability of the subtitle file (different subtitles for each video). It is a MenuFlyout generated by C # code, so we can only rewrite it by means of resource coverage.
Try adding the following code in App.xaml:
<Application.Resources>
<Style TargetType="MenuFlyoutItem">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{ThemeResource MenuFlyoutItemRevealBorderBrush}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{ThemeResource MenuFlyoutItemRevealBorderThickness}" />

It overwrites the default MenuFlyoutItem style at the application level, and affects other MenuFlyoutItems.
Effect picture:
If you don't want to affect other MenuFlyoutItem, you can create a default MenuFlyoutItem style and assign it to other MenuFlyoutItem that you need to keep the default style.
Best regards.

How to implement animation used by the little rectangle in XAML controls gallery app?

Animation is pretty simple! In idle state -- the highlighter rectangle sits in one of the selected rows. But as soon as another row is selected, the rectangle grows in length(almost like its made of elastic) and ends up in another row.
For detailed animation, check out the XAML control gallery app!
The NavigationView new control provides a collapsible navigation menu for top-level navigation in your app and it contain highlighter rectangle sits animation. Please note it only works in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. You could use it to realize hamburg menu with highlight animation directly like following.
Usage
<NavigationView Loaded="NavigationView_Loaded" Margin="0,12,0,0" Grid.Row="1" SelectionChanged="NavigationView_SelectionChanged"
x:Name="nvSample"
IsSettingsVisible="{Binding ElementName=settingsCheck,Path=IsChecked}" IsTabStop="False"
Header="This is header text.">
<NavigationView.MenuItems>
<NavigationViewItem Icon="Play" Content="Menu Item1" Tag="SamplePage1" />
<NavigationViewItemSeparator/>
<NavigationViewItem Icon="Save" Content="Menu Item2" Tag="SamplePage2" />
<NavigationViewItem Icon="Refresh" Content="Menu Item3" Tag="SamplePage3" />
</NavigationView.MenuItems>
<Frame x:Name="contentFrame">
</Frame>
</NavigationView>
For more you could refer Navigation view official document.
I have found SelectionIndicator in the NavigationViewItem stlye. You could find detail about SelectionIndicator. Unfortunately, The implementation of the animation is not in this style.

Update
For SelectionIndicator animation, you could split it into multiple parts Vertical translation, Height transformation Collapsed Scale and Visible. So you could create a animation storyboard to describe both of them and bind the storyboard with different VisualState.
And #Vijay Nirmal also provide inspiration from Continuity Tab that you could refer.

If I hover over the selected Header the background changes, but it's a flat color and like in the NavigationView/Listview. The BorderBrush changes his color too, but there is no shading.
P.S.: How could I modify the Style to be API aware. If the user fas the FCU user Reveal Highlight, if not use flat colors...
Update
The effect is very subtile and hardly visible. Is there a possibility to make the effect stronger?
how can I expand the effect, so that all headers are included. For know the effect is limited to one header only... in navigation view the effect spread to other lines as well
Many thanks for your help
The Reveal is a lighting effect that helps bring depth and focus to your app's interactive elements. It seems you have implement the Reveal effect of the PivotItem, you can set your Pivot with a high Contrast background to see it, such as LightGray.
If you want the BorderBrush changes his color with shading, you should change your Xaml of the SelectedPointerOver VisualState in your code as the following that to change the Grid Border brush but not the ContentPresenter,
<VisualState x:Name="SelectedPointerOver">
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Target="Grid.(RevealBrush.State)" Value="PointerOver" />
<Setter Target="Grid.Background" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonRevealBackgroundPointerOver}" />
<Setter Target="Grid.BorderBrush" Value="{ThemeResource NavigationViewItemBorderBrushPointerOver}"/>
<Setter Target="ContentPresenter.Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonForegroundPointerOver}" />
</VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>
You can also create a new MyRevealBorderBrush with a x:Key, a Color, an Opacity (optional), and a FallbackColor to use it in your Xaml.
<RevealBackgroundBrush x:Key="MyRevealBorderBrush" Color="PaleGreen" Opacity= "0.5" FallbackColor="PaleGreen"/>
Then you can use it in the VisualState,
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Target="Grid.(RevealBrush.State)" Value="PointerOver" />
<Setter Target="Grid.Background" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonRevealBackgroundPointerOver}" />
<Setter Target="Grid.BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource MyRevealBorderBrush}"/>
<Setter Target="ContentPresenter.Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonRevealBackgroundPointerOver}" />
</VisualState.Setters>
As for modifying the Style to be API aware, you can look into this document :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/debug-test-perf/conditional-xaml#use-ifelse-conditions
-----Update----
To implement the similar effect, you should add the setters in the UnselectedPointerOver VisualState in your PivotHeaderItem style,
<VisualState x:Name="UnselectedPointerOver">
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Target="Grid.(RevealBrush.State)" Value="PointerOver" />
<Setter Target="Grid.Background" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonRevealBackgroundPointerOver}" />
<Setter Target="Grid.BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource MyRevealBorderBrush}"/>
<Setter Target="ContentPresenter.Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonForegroundPointerOver}" />
</VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>
As for the colors, you should try what you want. For the NavigationView, it should uses the NavigationViewItemBorderBrushPointerOver ThemeResource. You can also try it to see the effect.
<Setter Target="Grid.BorderBrush" Value="{ThemeResource NavigationViewItemBorderBrushPointerOver}"/>

Button focus visual state and gamepad

I want to have a custom rounded button, when focused it should change the color inside the border control.

On xbox the 'normal', 'pressed' visualstates work fine, but i can't use the 'focus' visual state, meaning i cant make it change it's color when using the gamepad. When i use the left stick to the button, the button default black border appears but the 'focus' visual state is not triggered.
