Question

I am very new to WPF and I am facing a problem where I need help:

My environment is .net 4, VS2010, win 7

I want to define a styled toggle button that I will use from a User Control. When I declare the ToggleButton control in the UserControl I want to give the 2 possible Contents according to the button state.

My question: I don’t know how to declare my button with the 2 contents (one when IsChecked=true, one when IsChecked=false), I have included some code I have written that does not compile.

Thank you in advance

You should be able to use something like:

      <ToggleButton>
        <ToggleButton.Style>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
                <Setter Property="Content">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <Grid>
                            <TextBlock>Click Me</TextBlock>
                        </Grid>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
                        <Setter Property="Content">
                            <Setter.Value>
                                <Grid>
                                    <TextBlock>Click Me Again</TextBlock>
                                </Grid>
                            </Setter.Value>
                        </Setter>
                    </Trigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </ToggleButton.Style>
    </ToggleButton>
