Can't get underline to show up when triggered


I have the following style, but when the mouse over trigger is true, no underline shows up on the text.

<Style x:Key="HyperlinkToggleButtonStyle" TargetType="ToggleButton">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">
                <TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock">
                            <ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding  Content}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding  ContentTemplate}"/>
                </TextBlock>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>

    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="false">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource StandardBackground}"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
            <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Normal"/>
            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>                                         
        </Trigger>

        <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource StandardBackground}"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource StandardBlue}" />
            <Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Hand" />
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
            <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Normal"/>
            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Normal"/>
            <Setter Property="TextBlock.TextDecorations" Value="Underline"/>
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Solution

  • This might not be an ideal solution, but you could define the trigger in your control template. Don't forget to reference your TextBlock with the TargetName property on the setter.

        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
               <ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">
                  <TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock">
                            <ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding  Content}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding  ContentTemplate}"/>
                  </TextBlock>
                  <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                     <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
                        <Setter TargetName="TextBlock" Property="TextBlock.TextDecorations" Value="Underline"/>
                     </Trigger>
                  </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
               </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
         </Setter>
