Would somebody know how to recreate this button style in WPF? As I do not know how to make the different compartments. As well as the 2 different texts and text styles?
Answer
To solve your question definitely need to use the Style and Template for the Button. But how exactly does he look like? Decisions may be several. For example, Button are two texts to better define the relevant TextBlocks? Can be directly in the template, but then use the buttons will be limited, because the template can be only one ContentPresenter. I decided to do things differently, to identify one ContentPresenter with an icon in the form of a Path, and the content is set using the buttons on the side.
The style:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#373737" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border CornerRadius="4" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<Grid>
<Path x:Name="PathIcon" Width="15" Height="25" Stretch="Fill" Fill="#4C87B3" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="17,0,0,0" Data="F1 M 30.0833,22.1667L 50.6665,37.6043L 50.6665,38.7918L 30.0833,53.8333L 30.0833,22.1667 Z "/>
<ContentPresenter x:Name="MyContentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,0" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#E59400" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter TargetName="PathIcon" Property="Fill" Value="Black" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="OrangeRed" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Sample of using:
<Button Width="200" Height="50" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,20,0,0" />
<Button.Content>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="Watch Now" FontSize="20" />
<TextBlock Text="Duration: 50m" FontSize="12" Foreground="Gainsboro" />
</StackPanel>
</Button.Content>
</Button>
Output
It is best to StackPanel determine the Resources and set the Button so:
<Window.Resources>
<StackPanel x:Key="MyStackPanel">
<TextBlock Name="MainContent" Text="Watch Now" FontSize="20" />
<TextBlock Name="DurationValue" Text="Duration: 50m" FontSize="12" Foreground="Gainsboro" />
</StackPanel>
</Window.Resources>
<Button Width="200" Height="50" Content="{StaticResource MyStackPanel}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,20,0,0" />
The question remains with setting the value for TextBlock Duration, because this value must be dynamic. I implemented it using attached DependencyProperty. Set it to the window, like that:
<Window Name="MyWindow" local:MyDependencyClass.CurrentDuration="Duration: 50m" ... />
Using in TextBlock:
<TextBlock Name="DurationValue" Text="{Binding ElementName=MyWindow, Path=(local:MyDependencyClass.CurrentDuration)}" FontSize="12" Foreground="Gainsboro" />
In fact, there is no difference for anyone to determine the attached DependencyProperty, because it is the predominant feature.
Example of set value:
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MyDependencyClass.SetCurrentDuration(MyWindow, "Duration: 101m");
}
