In WPF, is there a way to check the window's "WindowState" property in a Trigger? I've tried using the value of "0", "Minimized" and "WindowState.Minimized."
EXAMPLE:
<Window.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="WindowState" Value="Minimized">
<Setter Property="ShowInTaskBar" Value="False" />
</Trigger>
</Window.Triggers>
Works like this:
<Window.Style>
<Style TargetType="Window">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="WindowState" Value="Minimized">
<Setter Property="ShowInTaskbar" Value="False" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Style>
Edit: You need to place your trigger in the Window.Style
.
Or if you want a control other than the window to respond to the WindowState property you can use a DataTrigger instead:
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding WindowState, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}"
Value="Normal">
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="Green"/>
</DataTrigger>
Example of how to increase border thickness when a window is maximised. Otherwise, due to oddities of WindowChrome, the border will disappear.
This example also strips out the standard window header, so you have to add your own minimize/maximize/close buttons.
<Window ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip"
WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow">
<!-- Remove window header and border. Use with ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip" and WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow". -->
<WindowChrome.WindowChrome>
<WindowChrome
CaptionHeight="1"
CornerRadius ="0"
ResizeBorderThickness="4"
GlassFrameThickness="0">
</WindowChrome>
</WindowChrome.WindowChrome>
<Border BorderThickness="1">
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Border}">
<Style.Triggers>
<!-- Add to avoid border disappearing when window is maximised -->
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding WindowState, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}"
Value="Maximized">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10"/>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding WindowState, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}"
Value="Normal">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
<Grid>
<!-- Window XAML here. -->
<Grid>
</Border>
</Window>
