How Design a style in WPF radiobutton like checkbox

Question

I want to have a radiobutton similar to checkbox, so I define a style in Dictionary file like:

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfCheckBoxLikeRadiobutton">

<Style x:Key="MyRadioButton" TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
                <Grid>
                    <CheckBox
                        IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, 
                        Path=IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"
                        IsHitTestVisible="False" />
                    <CheckBox
                    IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, 
                    Path=IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}" Opacity="0"/>
                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

and merge it in app.xaml file like this

<Application x:Class="WpfCheckBoxLikeRadiobutton.App"
         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
         xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfCheckBoxLikeRadiobutton"
         StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary1.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

and then use it in my window

<GroupBox Margin="5" Padding="5">
        <StackPanel >
            <CheckBox Content="this is checkbox" />
            <RadioButton Content="this is first radio button" Style="{DynamicResource MyRadioButton}"/>
            <RadioButton Content="this is Second radio button" Style="{DynamicResource MyRadioButton}"/>
            <RadioButton Content="this is third radio button" Style="{DynamicResource MyRadioButton}"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </GroupBox>

but after assigning style for radiobutton, that content will disappear. What is the wrong with my style?

It happens because you ignore content of your control in you ControlTemplate. Your style should look like this:

<Style x:Key="MyRadioButton" TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
<Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type RadioButton}">
            <Grid>
                <CheckBox
                    IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, 
                                Path=IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"
                    IsHitTestVisible="False" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" />
                <CheckBox
                IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, 
                            Path=IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}"   
                Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" Opacity="0"/>
            </Grid>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
</Setter>
