visualstates

I have an abstract BaseControl that contains dependency properties as well as default style and VisualState. I would like to use these VisualState in inherited Controls.

If I start by selecting the first group of 5 RadioButtons , and make a selection, then everything may appear as the

I have a several VisualStates (more than 2, thats why DataStateBehavior is not my solution). And I have ViewModel, which have enum property CurrentState . Every enum value represents to one state, also may be several enum values represents to one states, doesn't metter. I want VisualState changed when the CurrentState changed (thought, that immediately appears in my mind : Binding was created exactly for this case!
