Changing the checkbox square box from square to rounded with WPF
I have successfully created the rounded corner for the checkbox, right now I have issues connecting the control template with other checkboxes, is there anyway to connect the control template to the checkbox generated from the back end?
the first part is the control template modified to change the square box to rounded box
the second part is the checkbox generated from backend and added to the front end

Solution
You can look for the ControlTemplate within your Resources
checkBoxTest.Template = (ControlTemplate)Resources["CheckBoxTemplate1"]
This assumes this code is written within the code-behind of the Window where the resource is defined. If not, then you will need to do the lookup on an element where the resource is in scope. You can also do a lookup on your app-wide resources defined within Application.
