I am attempting to define a global button style in App.xaml, and it's mostly working as I expect. However, I just cannot figure out how to get the Foreground to work correctly. No matter what I do, I am getting the style of the default TextBlock (which sets the color to White).
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="3, 5" />
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle"
Value="{StaticResource ButtonFocusVisual}" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="5" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">
<Grid x:Name="gridMainButton"
RenderTransformOrigin="0.5, 0.5">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform x:Name="scaleTransform"
CenterX="0.5"
CenterY="0.5" />
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates" >
<VisualState x:Name="Normal" />
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver" />
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="scaleTransform"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="ScaleX"
Duration="0"
To="0.85" />
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Ellipse x:Name="ellipse"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
StrokeThickness="2"
Stroke="{StaticResource standardBackground}"
Fill="{StaticResource standardBackground}" />
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Margin="4, 8"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I guess I could change the ContentPresenter to a TextBlock, which would be ok for this particular application, but I'm looking for a more generic solution.
Thanks,
