How can I set disabled button style? - xaml

I'm making custom button styles, and I set the color but as:
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="ButtonStyle">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#0000FF" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Foreground">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="White" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush">
<Setter.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#00FF00" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
But how can I set the disabled (IsEnabled=false) color?

If you're changing that much stuff you should probably go ahead and do at the actual Template level but if you're looking just for that brush you can either change it in the dictionary or override it wherever you want by just exposing the resource like;
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonDisabledBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="YourColor" />
oh, and if you want to cut down some of your xaml footprint you can condense what you're doing like;
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="ButtonStyle">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#0000FF" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#00FF00" />
</Style>
Hope this helps, cheers

Add a visual state in Common visual state in your button style like this =>
Here, i set the background button proterty to red.
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentContainer">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource PhoneDisabledBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackground">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{StaticResource PhoneDisabledBrush}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonBackground">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#FFF01919"/>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>

Using ResourceDictionary with Multiple Buttons

I have a button that defines a custom Theme Dictionary.
<Button Content="Expand Slot"
FontWeight="SemiBold"
Command="{Binding ElementName=ThisPage, Path=ViewModel.NavigateToSlot, Mode=OneWay}"
CommandParameter="{x:Bind SlotNumber, Mode=OneWay}">
<Button.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary x:Key="Light">
<!--Default colors-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBackground" Color="Transparent"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonForeground" Color="DarkSlateBlue"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBorderBrush" Color="DarkSlateBlue"/>
<!--Mouseover colors-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBackgroundPointerOver" Color="Transparent"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonForegroundPointerOver" Color="MediumSlateBlue"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBorderBrushPointerOver" Color="MediumSlateBlue"/>
<!--Colors while being clicked-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBackgroundPressed" Color="Transparent"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonForegroundPressed" Color="MediumSlateBlue"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBorderBrushPressed" Color="MediumSlateBlue"/>
</ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Button.Resources>
</Button>
This works fine but I want to be able to use the same Dictionary across multiple buttons without having to edit each button's <Button.Resources>
<Button Content="Button 1">
<Button.Resources>
-- Apply my colors --
</Button.Resources>
</Button>
<Button Content="Button 2">
<Button.Resources>
-- Apply my colors --
</Button.Resources>
</Button>
What is the correct way to do this in UWP?
You could put the ResourceDictionary into the Page.Resources so that all the buttons on that page would use this style. If you want to apply this style to all the buttons in the app, then you could put the ResourceDictionary inside the Application.Resources in the App.xaml file.
Like this:
<Page.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary x:Key="Light">
<!--Default colors-->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ButtonBackground" Color="Transparent"/>
</ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Page.Resources>
Update:
If you want to apply to certain buttons, it would be better to use custom styles.
You could create a default style of Button and change the properties to what you want. You just need to find out which property is using the resources like ButtonBackground and ButtonBackgroundPointerOver in the style. Then you could change the value of these properties to the value you want.
Here is the style that I've changed and you could directly use it. It has the same behavior as the ResourceDictionary.

How to implement the edge button pointer event?

I have seen this kind of button styling only in edge button and would like to know how to implement it. So there are two different effects into play(as far as I know). First that when buttons are pressed the content inside them shrinks (unlike default effect provided by Windows) and then second a dark non-discrete border appears inside the button when clicked to almost give a feel of depth in it.
This question was a challenge!
My first idea was to use the UWP Community Toolkit DropShadowPanel to create a shadow and clip it to the button's rectangle. Unfortunately this didn't work well, as I would have to set the shadow on a Rectangle that would need to have a visible border, which is not really good for our purpose of having a nicely blended borderless button. In addition, the DropShadowPanel shadow just didn't give a strong enough shadow effect that would be enough for the button to look like in Edge.
I have used Visual Studio and attached it's debugger to the Edge browser to see which control does the browser actually use. The Live Tree Visualizer revealed this:
SpartanXAML.InnerShadowControl? Okay, we don't have that. Let's work around this.
I fired up Photoshop instead. Created a 64x64 square image, put a transparent rectangle layer on the surface and set its Inner Glow as shown in this screenshot:
After export, I got the following PNG:
That looks quite like the inner shadow on the Edge button!
Now let's create a custom button style that uses this image!
<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="EdgeButtonStyle">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#f5f5f5" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonForeground}" />

This is a lengthy listing so I will just point out the most interesting things:
Removed all borders from the button
Set background to #f5f5f5 and hover background to #c1c1c0 to match Edge
Set the width and height to 64
Added an Image as the last control in the RootGrid, this is the shadow image, is Collapsed by default and appears only when pointer is pressed
Used UWP Community Toolkit's (Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls NuGet package) Scale behavior to create a simple, easy to control animation. This required adding xmlns:interactivity="using:Microsoft.Xaml.Interactivity" and xmlns:behaviors="using:Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Animations.Behaviors" XML namespaces to the root element of the file
Replaced the default PointerDownThemeAnimation with a custom animation utilizing Scale behavior, to make the animation more significant and scale uniformly, without skewing the content
Now let's just take our new button for a test ride!
<Button Style="{StaticResource EdgeButtonStyle}" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Image Source="Assets/Windows.png" />
</Button>
And the result:

How can i change the properties of a ListboxItem when it is selected?

I am relatively new to universal apps and XAML, and I am trying to apply styles to my main page. So far I have successfully defined a style for ListBoxItems, however I cannot find a way to change the background fill colour when an item is selected.
I know that in WPF it is very simple to set a trigger and change the properties of the item when an event is triggered, however triggers are not available in Universal Apps.
My goal is to set the background property of a ListBoxItem to Gray when it is selected, however I cannot find a way to accomplish this. I tried using VisualStateManager, but I am not sure how it works and I have yet to apply a working Visual state to something.
Can anyone explain how to use VisualStates, or even suggest an alternate method for doing this? Here is my code so far for reference:

How to Style a Button like Application Bar Buttons

I have created a style which works to some extent to what I am looking for, in fact it does actually work. However I need to update the style so that I may use it on several buttons and not just one. Currently I place the button source within the style itself, and I'd like to just be able to apply the style where the button actually exists on the page. This is what I am currently doing, but only works for a single button. Also, this style does not exactly match the default application bar style, which from what I can tell regardless of light or dark theme fills the circle with the device accent color and the icon inside of the button remains white, How might I update my solution for this as well?

Hi you can use coding4Fun toolkit for this.It has control Rounded button which is similar to appbar button.

How to change foreground + bordercolor when a button is disabled windows 8?

I have a button in a stack panel
<StackPanel>
<Button x:Name="CreateBtn" Content="Create" Style="{StaticResource PopUpButton}" Width="120" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0 60 30 0" Command="{Binding SaveCardTypeCommand}" />
</StackPanel>
that's use a style in a file
<Style x:Key="PopUpButton" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#1172b7"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#1172b7"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="3"/>
</Style>
I need to change color to red of the content and the borderbrush when the button is disabled
How can I do this?
Best regards
Using expression blend edit the default template of the button and customize the visual states. You can define animations to every visual state.
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="BorderBrush" Storyboard.TargetName="Border">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Red"/>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentPresenter">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Red"/>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
