I designed a WPF Page and it should be possible to change the theme (dark theme and light theme). I am a newbie in WPF and found a solution to my problem using DataTrigger, but it don't works. 3 hours later I tried like 10 different solutions/tutorials but I don't know what I am doing wrong...
The xml code:
<Page
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:VMQWPFApplication.Pages" x:Class="VMQWPFApplication.Pages.MainPage"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="400" d:DesignWidth="600"
Title="MainPage">
<Page.Resources>
<Style x:Key="styleWithTrigger" TargetType="{x:Type Rectangle}">
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="Blue"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding DarkTheme, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type local:MainPage}}}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="Red"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
<DockPanel>
<!--Toolbar-->
...
<!--Body-->
<Grid>
<Rectangle Style="{StaticResource styleWithTrigger}"/>
</Grid>
</DockPanel>
And here the cs:
namespace VMQWPFApplication.Pages
{
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainPage.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainPage : Page
{
public bool DarkTheme { get; set; }
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
DarkTheme = false;
}
private void TestButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DarkTheme = true;
}
}
}
At the beginning the rectangle is blue, but it won't change.
