Path in Style Question

Kevin Marois

Is it possible to put this path in a style? I'd like to add a data trigger to change the fill color on mouse over

If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

Since there's "data", it's more a resource (to be styled) than a style.

This did it. Thanks!

    <Setter Property="Content">
        <Setter.Value>
            <DynamicResource ResourceKey='PathKey' />
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>

I typically bind "Fill" or "ForeGround", etc. to an expression in the "view model" (=> ...) if it can vary from one object to the next; I use "styling" only when a group is all styled the same. (Brushes can be shared). (UWP doesn't have XAML "data triggers" so I stopped thinking about them).

Ya, I'm going to. Ultimately it will be in a theme with data trigger to change the color for state, such as Enabled, Disabled, MouseOver, etc. Thanks

FYI, here's what I came up with. Thanks for your help! Control

public class MaroisPathImageButton : Button
{
#region CTOR
static MaroisPathImageButton()
{
DefaultStyleKeyProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(MaroisPathImageButton), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(typeof(MaroisPathImageButton)));
}
#endregion

#region Dependency Properties
#region DP Caption
public static readonly DependencyProperty CaptionProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("Caption",
            typeof(string),
            typeof(MaroisPathImageButton),
            new PropertyMetadata(""));

public string Caption
{
    get { return (string)GetValue(CaptionProperty); }
    set { SetValue(CaptionProperty, value); }
}
#endregion

#region DP PathData
public static readonly DependencyProperty PathDataProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("PathData",
            typeof(System.Windows.Media.Geometry),
            typeof(MaroisPathImageButton),
            new PropertyMetadata(null, new PropertyChangedCallback(OnPathDataChanged)));

public System.Windows.Media.Geometry PathData
{
    get { return (System.Windows.Media.Geometry)GetValue(PathDataProperty); }
    set { SetValue(PathDataProperty, value); }
}


private static void OnPathDataChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    MaroisPathImageButton control = (MaroisPathImageButton)d;
}
