I am designing a simple application in C# and WPF with multiple buttons that change their color when clicked.
Each individual button changes colors independently to red (1st click) and then to green (on the 2nd click).
I am looking for a way to make this changes persistent between application runs. In other words, if 1 button has been set to green and 1 button to red, I would like them to keep their color (unless i change it) regardless of how many times I open and close the application. Examples of code that i can use are more than welcomed. Any help or example of code is highly appreciated. Thank you!
This is the WPF:
<Button x:Name="btn0" Focusable="False" Margin="277,100,173,148" Click="btn0_Click" Content="access"/>
<Button x:Name="btn1" Focusable="False" Margin="189,100,253,148" Click="btn1_Click" Content="access"/>
And here is the code (i know it's a bit messy):
namespace WpfApp7
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private bool _IsOn;
public bool IsOn
{
get
{
return _IsOn;
}
set
{
_IsOn = value;
btn0.Background = _IsOn ? Brushes.Green : Brushes.Red;
}
}
private void btn0_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
IsOn = !IsOn;
}
private bool _IsOn1;
public bool IsOn1
{
get
{
return _IsOn1;
}
set
{
_IsOn1 = value;
btn1.Background = _IsOn1 ? Brushes.Green : Brushes.Red;
}
}
private void btn1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
IsOn1 = !IsOn1;
}
}
}
First you need to add go to your project settings and add a property:
You can enter the name of the color or the hex value (
"#FF007CE4"
)
Then you bind the color to the property:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1"
xmlns:properties="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1.Properties"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<Button Name="button" Width="100" Height="30" Background="{Binding Source={x:Static properties:Settings.Default}, Path=Color1, Mode=TwoWay}" Click="button_Click" />
</Grid>
</Window>
To set the color:
private void button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if(Properties.Settings.Default.Color1 == "White")
{
Properties.Settings.Default.Color1 = "Black";
}
else
{
Properties.Settings.Default.Color1 = "White";
}
}
Edit:
To save the change of the color you need:
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
