hello everyone,
I "composed" a style for tooglebutton. It seems the style and the button itself live different lifes
Could someone look at code?

App.xaml

 <Style
                x:Key="CustomToggleButtonStyle"
                BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Styles.ToggleButton.Flat}"
                TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
                <Setter Property="Background" Value="WhiteSmoke" />
                <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
                <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
                <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" />
                <Setter Property="Margin" Value="6" />
                <Setter Property="MaxWidth" Value="35" />
                <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False" />
                <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{DynamicResource Template.Button.ViewBox}" />
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGray" />
                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
                    </Trigger>
                    <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Background" Value="LimeGreen" />
                        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
                    </Trigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>

MainWindow.xaml

  <ToggleButton                       
                                Grid.Row="0"
                                Content="Toggle me"
                                IsChecked="{Binding BooleanValue, Mode=OneWay}"
                                Style="{StaticResource CustomToggleButtonStyle}">                         
  </ToggleButton>

The issue is: it seems there's no response upon binding. In other words it becomes green by itself,
not by binding. What I'm dong wrong?

Tim

@timunie

@bolt-b why is your Binding OneWay?

I think this will break connection as soon as one clicks the button.

bolt-b

@bolt-b

@timunie , I've tried all "BindingWays" variants. That makes no difference.
The button continues living its own life whilst the binding is living its own life.
Is there a way to disable button's internal links and leave binding link only? It needs to have white-green only by binding, not by pushing button.

Tim

@timunie

Can you show me your Property you bind do?

is it public AND implements INotifyPropertyChanged?

Meanwhile let me test it in the demo App

bolt-b

@bolt-b

The property is ok, visible in intellisense and boolean. Based on MVVM light. There have not been any problems with.

ok please test that.

Tim

@timunie

it works on my side

bolt-b

@bolt-b

is there a difference in code?

Tim

@timunie

not in XAML

Ok Mode=TwoWay

bolt-b

@bolt-b

where?

Tim

@timunie

Maybe the property

I have not your Property

bolt-b

@bolt-b

...and it works by true coming from binding only?

Tim

@timunie

yep

And I think there is an issue in your MVVM

So please share your code of the Property

bolt-b

@bolt-b

nothing special... standard property made by code snippet.
I have got hundreds identical ones, all working.

 public bool BooleanValue
        {
            get { return _booleanValue; }
            set { Set(ref _booleanValue, value); }
        }
        private bool _booleanValue;

Tim

@timunie

very strange, but not MahApps related as it works in the demo

@bolt-b

@timunie thank you, seems I found a culprit. it was App specific issue. Not WPF and Mahapps.

Tim

@timunie

I sent you a private link

It's a tool which helped me in the past

@bolt-b

Oh, I see.

Hello there! I've been using MahApps for some time now, but only now am I really getting into utilizing the ThemeManager within my apps and have a little question or a possible feature request: Are there any brushes within each of the themes that could give me the Accent colour when using a Light theme, but a dark grey colour when using a Dark theme? Or perhaps vice versa - a brush that would produce accented colour for Dark theme and a shade of dark grey for the Light theme? There's a lot of brushes that switch between dark grey and white depending on the theme, but I haven't found any that would switch between the accent and grey.

Tim

@timunie

Hi @JendolaRajda

You can roll your own ThemeManager and adjust it the way you need to.

https://www.github.com/ControlzEx/ControlzEx/tree/develop/Wiki%2FThemeManager.md

Have a look at

Override the LibraryThemeProvider

Happy theming

@TripleNico

Hi all! Is there a helper function in Mahapps to start a MetroWindow on it's own thread instead of the MainWindow thread?

rabster007

@rabster007

Hi! Does anyone have any experience with TextBoxHelper.IsWaitingForData? Is there a way to change the color of the effect? When my theme is set to dark, the effect isn't visible.

Tim

@timunie

Hi @TripleNico This is normal WPF and not MahApps related.

Anyway you can find more information about this here: https://is.gd/uEQ4Yw

Happy coding, Tim

Tim

@timunie

Hi @rabster007

I think you can override this effect by overriding this DynamicResource in your App.xaml or in any Resources section

https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro/blob/91002e95f1acc6b69c7f3a290a46afffb82e44ba/src/MahApps.Metro/Styles/Controls.Shadows.xaml#L16-L22

Just try to copy&paste the lines given in the link and modify to your needs. I have not tested it yet, so if it doesn't work please come back.

Happy coding, Tim
