Setting Button FlatStyle in WPF

Question

I have just been learning about how styles and control templates in WPF can affect the appearance of buttons,

I\'m trying to set the Button\'s FlatStyle, in the reso

Answer 1

The ToolBar class defines a Style that makes Buttons look flat. An example of using it is:

<Button Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}}"/>

WPF lets you completely restyle controls to make them look like whatever you want, which is why it doesn't have such a specific FlatStyle property on the Button control.

Answer 2

Add the following to your Window/Page resources:

<Style BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}}" TargetType="Button"></Style>

It will apply the flat style to all buttons in that styles scope.
