    Phil Middlemiss has posted the fourth tutorial in his series on creating a Glass and Chrome theme in Blend.

    ImageApart from describing the steps to style each of the controls for this particular theme, I've been trying to describe some of the techniques and knowledge that can be applied generally to any theme or style.


    • In part 1 we covered creating style resources in a resource dictionary.
    • In part 2 we covered editing control templates as part of a style, including states.
    • In part 3 we knocked off a couple of the easier controls to style, although we added some extra elements to the control template.

    In this post, we are going to dig down into a control that is made up of a collection of other controls: the ListBox. But we are going to begin by styling the other controls that make up the ListBox.

    To illustrate the mechanics of Attached Behaviors, Karim Hernandez decided to implement a working RadioButtonGroup.

    I was recently asked by a customer, “Why doesn’t RadioButton.GroupName work when a single RadioButton is put in a DataTemplate within an ItemsControl?” I had no answer. When I tried it out myself, lo and behold, two checked RadioButtons were staring back at me. A quick search told me that others have encountered this issue, and none had found a solution based in markup.

  • Customizing the Silverlight 2 ItemsControl with Templates

    Peter McGrattan explores the ItemsControl using templates and the results he achieve really deserve your attention.

    Controls further down the inheritance hierarchy from ItemsControl tend to specialise it’s functionality by providing the ability to select or edit items in the list in slightly distinct ways. The items in an ItemsControl can be defined in Xaml or generated dynamically from the ItemsSource property in code.
