I am tryng to add 2 new buttons to a document viewer control that us then hosted in a windows form, so I took the template from MSDN to modify, but the all the "inbuilt" standard buttons turn to text on display rather than the icons. I am wondering if anyone can please help me with why this happens and how to fix it as I have not been able to determine that from MSDN documentation. However I am a newbie to XAML. Below is the xaml for the modified control.

The secret is to right click and edit the Template or a copy of the Template twice in visual studio, this gives a different template to the one on msdn, and access to the sub controls for the toolbar.
On each Button the Content property is set to a string value.
e.g. Content="Copy"
If you want it to be an image you will have to set it to an Image control.
e.g.
<Button>
<Image Source="copy.png"/>
</Button>
The 'default templates' on MSDN are not the actual default templates from WPF. They are just sample code for making your own control template.

I am trying to create a button Style that I can use for a "Lookup" button throughout my UWP app. However, the icon only appears on the first button on the screen. I tried this solution using templates, but it is not working for me. Thanks for the help.
Code:
<Page.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="FindSymbolTemplate">
<SymbolIcon Symbol="Find" Foreground="White" />
</ControlTemplate>
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="LookupButton">
<Setter Property="Content">
<Setter.Value>
<ContentControl Template="{StaticResource FindSymbolTemplate}" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
....
<Button x:Name="tourNumLookup"
Style="{StaticResource LookupButton}"
Grid.Column="1"
Margin="10,0"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
....
<Button x:Name="customerIdLookup"
Style="{StaticResource LookupButton}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="1"
Margin="10,0" />
The two buttons in the UI. Only the first has the SymbolIcon content.
#Romasz's solution absolutely works, but what if you want a lightly different Foreground on the SymbolIcon inside another Button?
Here's a potentially more flexible way that I normally go with.
First let's create a base Style that holds some default values for all the icons.
<Style x:Key="Style-Icon-Base"
TargetType="ContentControl">
<!-- If you don't specify the Foreground, it will use its ancestor's -->
<!--<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="White" />-->
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment"
Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment"
Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Width"
Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Height"
Value="20" />
<Setter Property="Padding"
Value="0" />
</Style>
Then we create a new icon Style which inherits from the one above. Note within the ControlTemplate I have used TemplateBinding to make property values dynamic. TemplateBinding isn't available inside a DataTemplate.
<Style x:Key="Style-Icon-Find"
BasedOn="{StaticResource Style-Icon-Base}"
TargetType="ContentControl">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ContentControl">
<!--
'cause you cannot change the size of the SymbolIcon, we insert a Viewbox here,
otherwise you don't need it.
-->
<Viewbox Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}">
<SymbolIcon Symbol="Find"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" />
</Viewbox>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
This way you have created a highly reusable icon Style, to use it, have a look at the following Buttons:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Button Margin="4"
Padding="8"
BorderBrush="LightBlue">
<ContentControl Width="36"
Height="36"
Foreground="DarkCyan"
Style="{StaticResource Style-Icon-Find}" />
</Button>
<!-- Note how I defined the Foreground at the Button level and it flows down to the icon -->
<Button Foreground="DarkGoldenrod"
Margin="4">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<ContentControl Style="{StaticResource Style-Icon-Find}"
Width="16"
Height="16" />
<TextBlock Text="Search"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="8,0,0,0" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
<Button Margin="4"
Padding="4">
<ContentControl Style="{StaticResource Style-Icon-Find}" />
</Button>
</StackPanel>
And they look like:
Generally UI elements can be used once (or saying different - have only one parent) - this is probably why it only works for the first button in your case. One solution may be to define DataTemplate and use it as ContentTemplate, so each button creates its own icon:
<Page.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="FindTemplate">
<SymbolIcon Symbol="Find" Foreground="White" />
</DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>
...
<Button x:Name="tourNumLookup" ContentTemplate="{StaticResource FindTemplate}"
Grid.Column="1" Margin="10,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Button x:Name="customerIdLookup" ContentTemplate="{StaticResource FindTemplate}"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Margin="10,0" />
You don't need to create ControlTemplate to reuse the icon. You can simply put this SymbolIcon to the resource dictionary and use as StaticResource for the buttons' Content.
<Page.Resources>
<SymbolIcon x:Key="FindSymbol" Symbol="Find" Foreground="White" />
</Page.Resources>
<Button x:Name="tourNumLookup"
Content="{StaticResource FindSymbol}"
Grid.Column="1"
Margin="10,0"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Button x:Name="customerIdLookup"
Content="{StaticResource FindSymbol}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="1"
Margin="10,0" />
UPDATE
BTW this is possibly a bug in the UWP platform, because I tried the following code and only the first Button rendered the icon at desing time and none of the at runtime.
<Page.Resources>
<SymbolIcon x:Key="FindSymbol" Symbol="Find" Foreground="White" />
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="LookupButton">
<Setter Property="Content" Value="{StaticResource FindSymbol}"/>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<Button x:Name="tourNumLookup"
Style="{StaticResource LookupButton}"
Margin="10,0"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Button x:Name="customerIdLookup"
Style="{StaticResource LookupButton}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="10,0" />
</StackPanel>
I tried to assign the Setter's Value directly but I got the same result. And also tried with FontIcon.
I have created a Style for my Buttons but when I use longer texts, they are truncated.
This is the style:
<Style x:Key="DefaultButton" TargetType="Button">
<!--<Setter Property="WidthRequest">
<Setter.Value>
<OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="x:Double"
Phone="150"
Tablet="200" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="HeightRequest">
<Setter.Value>
<OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="x:Double"
Phone="70"
Tablet="100" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>-->
<Setter Property="BackgroundColor" Value="{StaticResource BaseColor}" />
<Setter Property="TextColor" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOptions" Value="CenterAndExpand" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOptions" Value="FillAndExpand" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5" />
<Setter Property="FontSize">
<Setter.Value>
<OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="x:Double"
Phone="20"
Tablet="25" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
The button:
<Button Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1"
Style="{DynamicResource DefaultButton}"
Text="Basic button with long text" />
This is how that button with a longer text looks:
I could set a very large HeightRequest for the button but that would be very bad practice.
What should I do about this?
In this situation I will often used a Grid with a BoxView and a Label to make up the button and then put a GestureRecognizer on the Grid. Add all of this to a custom control for easy reuse if you want.
I did the GestureRecognizer below from memory so it might need some fixing:
<Grid x:Name="BasicButtonGrid"
VerticalOptions="End">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.MinimumHeightRequest>
<OnIdiom x:TypeArguments="x:Double"
Phone="40"
Tablet="70"/>
</Grid.MinimumHeightRequest>
<Grid.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="OnBasicButtonTapped"/>
</Grid.GestureRecognizers>
<BoxView BackgroundColor="Blue"
VerticalOptions="EndAndExpand"
InputTransparent="True"
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"/>
<Label Text="Basic Button with long text"
TextColor="White"
FontSize="Medium"
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"/>
</Grid>
You can use the LineBreakModeproperty. Here is the documentation to help you choose the most suitable mode.

I want to display a list of checkboxes within a tooltip on Silverlight when the mouse hovers on an image.
The data is a list of string properties.
The problem: The checkbox text content disappears, only the checked boxes appear.
How to show both the box and its text content? Thanks.
Tooltip display
<ToolTipService.ToolTip >
<ToolTip d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance Type=local:Data}">
<ListBox x:Name="LstTemp">
<!--<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="{Binding Input}"/>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>-->
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<CheckBox IsChecked="true" IsEnabled="False" Content="{Binding Input}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</ToolTip>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
</Image>
</Grid>
The code behind
Public Class Data
Public Property Data1 As String
Public Property Data2 As String
Public Property Input As New List(Of String)
End Class
I found the solution, here is the code for a dynamic list of checkboxes within a tooltip
<Image Height="114" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="129,48,0,0" Name="Image1" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="170" Source="/Tooltip1;component/Images/Desert.jpg" >
<ToolTipService.ToolTip >
<ToolTip d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance Type=local:Data}">
<ListBox x:Name="LstTemp">
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Grid Margin="2">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<CheckBox IsChecked="true" IsEnabled="false"/>
<ContentPresenter
Grid.Column="1"
Margin="2,0,0,0" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListBox>
</ToolTip>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>

I am kind of beginner in UWP Platform and I am building an app using template 10. I have used GridView for a particular page, but the problem is that the GridView shows its borders when you hover over it or select its item. Like this:
I want the border not to show up whenever the user hovers over it or selects a GridView item.
My XAML Code is:
<Page
x:Class="Sample.Views.Category"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Sample.Views"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:data="using:Sample.ViewModels"
xmlns:controls="using:Template10.Controls"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Page.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:CategoryViewModel" x:Key="CategoryDataTemplate">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,20,10">
<Image Width="150" Source="{x:Bind IconFile}" />
<TextBlock FontSize="16" Text="{x:Bind Category}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<!--<TextBlock FontSize="10" Text="{x:Bind Author}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />-->
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!-- header -->
<controls:PageHeader x:Name="pageHeader" Frame="{x:Bind Frame}" Text="Category Page" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<!-- place stretched, across top -->
<RelativePanel.AlignTopWithPanel>True</RelativePanel.AlignTopWithPanel>
<RelativePanel.AlignRightWithPanel>True</RelativePanel.AlignRightWithPanel>
<RelativePanel.AlignLeftWithPanel>True</RelativePanel.AlignLeftWithPanel>
</controls:PageHeader>
<GridView Grid.Row="2" >
<GridView ItemsSource="{x:Bind Categories}"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
ItemClick="GridView_ItemClick"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CategoryDataTemplate}" >
</GridView>
</GridView>
</Grid>
This is not a Template 10 question, but here's the answer:
<GridView>
<GridView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="GridViewItem">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,4,4" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Local"/>
<Setter Property="IsHoldingEnabled" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="GridViewItem">
<ContentPresenter />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</GridView.ItemContainerStyle>
</GridView>
Best of luck.
Try setting the gridview BorderThickness to 0, and brush to Transparent (assuming the thickness didn't work)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.gridview.aspx
Here is a link to the properties for the gridview control in XAML.
since you said you're a beginner, try messing around with the different properties and since you have a nested gridview inside a gridview (not sure why) try setting it on both of them.
e.g.:
<GridView Grid.Row="2" BorderThickness="0">
I need to create something in WinRT/XAML similar to an HTML fielset. http://jsfiddle.net/Sf2Vy/
Basically, I have a border and there is some text on top of the border. Where the text covers the border, I need the border to not show under the text. The background behind the border isn't a solid color so I can't just set the background color of the text. The text length is variable also.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Yeah, so, the answer is no. There is no FieldSet.
Having said that, I think you could work out a similar effect simple enough. The code below shows you a solution that could easily be wrapped in a custom user control called fieldset.
<Grid Width="500" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<!-- top fieldset thing -->
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="35" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Top" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0,5,0,0" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="white" />
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,-2,0,0" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10,-15,10,0" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="30" />
</Style>
</Grid.Resources>
<Border Grid.Column="0" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="User Info" />
<Border Grid.Column="2" />
</Grid>
<!-- regular form fields -->
<Border BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="5,0,5,5">
<StackPanel Margin="20">
<TextBox Header="Salutation" />
<TextBox Header="First Name" />
<TextBox Header="Middle Name" />
<TextBox Header="Last Name" />
<Button Margin="0,5,-3,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right">Save Data</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Grid>
It looks something like this:
It's not 100% perfect - or, maybe... it is.
Best of luck!
