I am trying to convert my properties of a pancake control into a style so all my pancake controls are styled the same. This is what my XAML looks like.
<yummy:PancakeView x:Name="pvMEssage" BackgroundColor="{DynamicResource ExceptionBackground}" CornerRadius="0,0,20,20" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
Padding="0,0,0,0" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<yummy:PancakeView.BackgroundGradientStops StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="0,0">
<yummy:GradientStop Offset="0.1" Color="{DynamicResource ExceptionBackground}" />
</yummy:PancakeView.BackgroundGradientStops>
<yummy:PancakeView.Border>
<yummy:Border Color="White" Thickness="2" />
</yummy:PancakeView.Border>
I know how to use setter.value in a style but I cannot figure out how to put the backgroundgradientstops in the style.
I have this so far:
<Style x:Key="PancakeViewTop" TargetType="yummy:PancakeView">
<Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="20,20,0,0" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="FillAndExpand" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="FillAndExpand" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0,0,0,0" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,0" />
<Setter Property="BackgroundGradientStartPoint" Value="0,0" />
<Setter Property="BackgroundGradientEndPoint" Value="0,0" />
<Setter Property="BackgroundGradientStops">
<Setter.Value>
<yummy:GradientStop Offset="0.1" Color="{DynamicResource ExceptionBackground}" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Border">
<Setter.Value>
<yummy:Border Color="White" Thickness="2" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
but I get an error on these lines
<Setter Property="BackgroundGradientStops">
<Setter.Value>
that states "The specified value cannot be assigned. The following type was expected: "GradientStopCollection"
Try with:
<Setter Property="BackgroundGradientStops">
<Setter.Value>
<pancake:GradientStopCollection>
<pancake:GradientStop Offset="0.1" Color="{DynamicResource ExceptionBackground}"/>
<pancake:GradientStop Offset="0.5" Color="{DynamicResource OtherColor}"/>
</pancake:GradientStopCollection>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
Also you need to specify at least 2 colors (2 GradientStop) otherwise it will throw an exception
Java.Lang.IllegalArgumentException: 'needs >= 2 number of colors'
and it does not make sens a gradient with only one color.

I want to do create static style where TextBox element will have 2 different colored borders around it. Can I achieve this?
I already have rounded textbox with 1 border, but I'm clueless how to add another around it.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}" x:Key="RoundTextBox">
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Border}">
<Setter Property="CornerRadius" Value="3"/>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0.5" EndPoint="1,0.5">
<GradientStop Color="#FF32C17C"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF01312F" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF69FF55"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Medium"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="20,10,0,-5"/>
</Style>
This is my code for textbox style.
Thank you for all answers :)
You can change control template of the textbox and define another border inside the border.
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="120" />
<Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Border
BorderBrush="Red"
BorderThickness="1"
CornerRadius="2">
<Border
Name="Border"
Background="White"
BorderBrush="Gray"
BorderThickness="1"
CornerRadius="2">
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" Margin="0" />
</Border>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<TextBox
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="Test" />
</Grid>
Here is the result!

I'm trying to create a TitleView where the navigation title is centered in the middle of the screen. But have buttons on either or both sides.
(I recently found posts saying it was best to add buttons to the TitleView rather than ContentPage.ToolbarItem as we couldn't changes the colour of the text.)
Instead we opted for fixed width buttons / spacers, so we could have a middle label for the title which would be centered. You can see the result below, unforunetly I'm going to have to increased the size of the button for longer text. We also support several languages so the text could be longer still.
Here's the xaml
<NavigationPage.TitleView>
<StackLayout Style="{StaticResource TitleViewStackLayout}">
<Label Style="{StaticResource TitleViewSpacer}"
HorizontalOptions="Start" />
<Label Text="{tran:Translate Contact_ConfirmEmail}"
Style="{StaticResource TitleViewLabel}" />
<Button Style="{StaticResource TitleViewButton}"
HorizontalOptions="End"
Text="{tran:Translate Common_Restart}"
Command="{Binding ToolbarItemRestartCommand}"/>
</StackLayout>
</NavigationPage.TitleView>
And here's our style...
<Style x:Key="TitleViewStackLayout" TargetType="StackLayout">
<Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{DynamicResource DarkBlue}" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="FillAndExpand" />
<Setter Property="Orientation" Value="Horizontal" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="Spacing" Value="0" />
</Style>
<Style x:Key="TitleViewLabel" TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="{DynamicResource White}" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="CenterAndExpand" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{DynamicResource Title}" />
</Style>
<OnPlatform x:Key="TitleViewItemMargin" x:TypeArguments="Thickness" Android="10,0,10,0" iOS="0" />
<OnPlatform x:Key="TitleViewItemWidth" x:TypeArguments="x:Double" Android="60" iOS="50" />
<Style x:Key="TitleViewButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{DynamicResource DarkBlue}" />
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="{DynamicResource White}" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="{DynamicResource TitleViewItemMargin}" />
<Setter Property="WidthRequest" Value="{DynamicResource TitleViewItemWidth}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
</Style>
<Style x:Key="TitleViewSpacer" TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{DynamicResource DarkBlue}" />
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="{DynamicResource White}" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="{DynamicResource TitleViewItemMargin}" />
<Setter Property="WidthRequest" Value="{DynamicResource TitleViewItemWidth}" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
</Style>
I did think about using a grid, I know could also add three columns all with Grid.Column="0".. but I'd then have the possibility of a long title which would overlap the buttons. We do have some long titles. I guess I would need to be able to set a max width and add LineBreakMode="TailTruncation"
Xamarin Forms - center title in a stacklayout
I did think about repeating the text but transparent to achieve equal widths, but this wouldn't cater for 2 different buttons.
As you said , it could be better to use Grid instead of StackLayout .
In your case , you could set the width of three columns as a fixed percentage value. In this way , since the Text of Label is a long value , it will never cover the right Button .
<NavigationPage.TitleView>
<Grid >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.2*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.6*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.2*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0"
Text="Back"
MaxLines="1"
Style="{StaticResource TitleViewSpacer}"
HorizontalOptions="Start" />
<Label Grid.Column="1" Text="Email Confirm Email Confirm Email Confirm Email Confirm Email Confirm"
MaxLines="1"
LineBreakMode="TailTruncation" // you could set it or not , both are OK ,it's up to you
Style="{StaticResource TitleViewLabel}" />
<Button Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource TitleViewButton}"
HorizontalOptions="EndAndExpand"
Text="Restart"
WidthRequest="80"
Command="{Binding ToolbarItemRestartCommand}"/>
</Grid>
</NavigationPage.TitleView>
I recently downloaded Wox, an alternative search for Windows. Its search automatically appears as a dropdown menu. There is no way in the settings to change this to "dropup" rather than dropdown. I couldn't find this question asked anywhere, but the maker said in response to a question about a different change to appearance to edit the base theme document. I looked through the document, and couldn't find anywhere that seemed like an obvious place to toggle if the dropbox falls up or down, but I also only have very basic coding knowledge. I tried to search for how to do this online, but couldn't seem to find anything. The markup document is below. Is there anything I can change in this to cause it to drop up instead?

Here is an MSDN example for changing ComboBox's ControlTemplate: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wpf/controls/combobox-styles-and-templates
The interesting part is Popup:
<Popup x:Name="Popup"
Placement="Bottom"
IsOpen="{TemplateBinding IsDropDownOpen}"
AllowsTransparency="True"
Focusable="False"
PopupAnimation="Slide">
Changing Placement to Top should help.
I had created a button and i want to change its color using style from app xaml.
But,i don't get the exact code and i am new to xaml.
Can any one help me with some example.
I am also confused to use which property to change color means background or foreground?
<Window
x:Class="ToolBar"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="ToolBar"
Width="300"
Height="300">
<DockPanel>
<ToolBarTray
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
IsLocked="True"
Orientation="Horizontal">
<ToolBar
x:Name="ToolBar1">
<ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton.Style>
<Style
TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Play</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Pause</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ToggleButton.Style>
</ToggleButton>
</ToolBar>
</ToolBarTray>
</DockPanel>
</Window>
Within a toolbar, the two statements:
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />
causes the toggle button to appear in the normal state when the toggle button is checked, however nothing changes when you hover over the checked toggle button.
If I wrap the toggle button in another layout, say wrap layout:
<Window
x:Class="ToolBar"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="ToolBar"
Width="300"
Height="300">
<WrapPanel>
<ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton.Style>
<Style
TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Play</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<DataTemplate>
<Label>Pause</Label>
</DataTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ToggleButton.Style>
</ToggleButton>
</WrapPanel>
</Window>
the two statements:
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Panel.Background" Value="Transparent" />

I want to create a list of logically related RadioButtons. The RadioButtons are bound for MVVM use. There's ToolTips on each RadioButtons.
Here is a Style that creates a group of logically related RadioButtons by using a ListBox. MyClass contains two String properties: MyName and MyToolTip. The style will display the list of RadioButtons including properly functioning individual ToolTips. This is an all bound, all Xaml solution for MVVM use.
Example usage:
ListBox Style="{StaticResource radioListBox}" ItemsSource="{Binding MyClasses}" SelectedValue="{Binding SelectedMyClass}"/>
Style:
<Style x:Key="radioListBox" TargetType="ListBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ListBox}}">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{x:Null}" />
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ListBoxItem}}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Grid Background="Transparent">
<RadioButton Focusable="False" IsHitTestVisible="False" IsChecked="{TemplateBinding IsSelected}" Content="{Binding MyName}"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding MyToolTip}" />
</Style>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
