Question

I have a C# WPF application with a bunch of labels.
When I run my program it does some checks and wether it the check was positive or not it sets it’s corrisponding label to green og red.
These changes is done in my .cs file like:

lblCheck14.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);

I would like to add a “Reset” button, that reset the application to it’s initial start.
How can I easiest implement this?

One way – but I really hope there is a smarter way, is to set them all like:

    lblCheck14.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
    lblCheck21.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
    lblCheck42.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);

Etc..

But isn’t there a function which I can call that strips away any changes the .cs file have done to the controls in the XAML file? Like make the XAML back to stock?

Sorry for my back explanation. Hope you understand me 🙂

Best regards

Implement styles. You can have a default style to roll back to when you hit reset.
