I want to use the ExtendedWPFToolkits's ColorPicker but with a custom ButtonStyle. I can create a new look overriding the Template property of the item but the original templates click event is missing.
I want to keep it, but how?
<Controls:ColorPicker >
<Controls:ColorPicker.ButtonStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Button Content="ColorPicker"></Button>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Controls:ColorPicker.ButtonStyle>
</Controls:ColorPicker>
What you have is not valid. You are putting a Button
in the ControlTemplate of a ToggleButton
, so basically a button in a button.
You'd need to do something like:
<Controls:ColorPicker >
<Controls:ColorPicker.ButtonStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border Background="Transparent">
<TextBlock Text="ColorPicker" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Controls:ColorPicker.ButtonStyle>
</Controls:ColorPicker>
I added a transparent Border
so the button will be able to receive mouse events for areas not covered by the text.
