WPF radio button with Image

Question

I have to create something similar to the picture. If one of the button is clicked the others should become darker. Thanks a lot!

That\'s what I need

Answer 1

after some time I found another approach. Instead of custom RadioButton, one can use ListBox with custom ItemTemplate

ViewModel for a single item

public class CountryVm
{
    public CountryVm()
    {
        ImageUri = new Uri("Resources/rgb.png", UriKind.Relative);            
    }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public Uri ImageUri { get; set; }
}

ListBox markup

<ListBox Name="Countries" ItemsSource="{Binding}" SelectionMode="Single"
            HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" 
            BorderThickness="0">

    <!--changing default ListBoxItem to hide selection highlight-->
    <ListBox.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">                    
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListBoxItem">
                        <Border Background="Transparent" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
                            <ContentPresenter />
                        </Border>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>
    </ListBox.Resources>

    <!--changing default orientation-->
    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>

    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type wpf2:CountryVm}">
            <!--circle image border-->
            <Border Name="Border"
                    BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black" Background="{x:Null}"
                    Width="48" Height="48" CornerRadius="24" Margin="4"
                    ToolTip="{Binding Name}">

                <Image Source="{Binding Path=ImageUri}" Stretch="None"/>

                <!--changing selected item opacity via trigger-->
                <Border.Style>
                    <Style TargetType="Border">
                        <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5"/>
                        <Style.Triggers>
                            <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsSelected, 
                                                           RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ListBoxItem}}"
                                         Value="True">
                                <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="1"/>                                        
                            </DataTrigger>
                        </Style.Triggers>
                    </Style>
                </Border.Style>
            </Border>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

test DataContext:

DataContext = new List<CountryVm>
{
    new CountryVm {Name = "123"},
    new CountryVm {Name = "Abc"},
    new CountryVm {Name = "Xyz"},
};

result

Answer 2

you can change Opacity when RadioButton is not checked via style trigger

<RadioButton.Style>                    
    <Style TargetType="RadioButton">                        
        <Style.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
                <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5"></Setter>
            </Trigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
</RadioButton.Style>

image inside can be created by modification of Template

<RadioButton.Template>
    <ControlTemplate TargetType="RadioButton">
        <!-- new template -->
    </ControlTemplate>
</RadioButton.Template>

default template can be found here

my primitive template looks like this (i have added 3 radioButtons into ItemsControl, the 2nd is checked)

<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
    <StackPanel.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="Flag" TargetType="RadioButton">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="False">
                    <Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5"/>
                </Trigger>
            </Style.Triggers>

            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2"/>

            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="RadioButton">
                        <Border BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
                                BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
                                Background="Transparent"
                                CornerRadius="20">                                    
                            <Image Source="{Binding Path=Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
                        </Border>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>
    </StackPanel.Resources>

    <ItemsControl>
        <RadioButton Content="../Resources/radio.png" Style="{StaticResource Flag}" BorderBrush="Red" Width="40" Height="40"/>
        <RadioButton Content="../Resources/radio.png" Style="{StaticResource Flag}" BorderBrush="Orange" Width="40" Height="40"/>
        <RadioButton Content="../Resources/radio.png" Style="{StaticResource Flag}" BorderBrush="Green" Width="40" Height="40"/>
    </ItemsControl>
</StackPanel>
