Question

I have a specific control. I want to make style for it when it is placed in ToolBar. I have found how to do it in case of Button, CheckBox and other standard controls, but how I should make it for my control?

Ok now you clarified your question I think I can give you a solution. It looks like you simply need to set the ItemContainerStyle of the ToolBar control for your specific user control. First declare the “my” namespace where your specific control is located, then just add something like this:

<ToolBar>
    <ToolBar.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type my:MyUserControl}">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Azure"/>
        </Style>
    </ToolBar.ItemContainerStyle>
    <my:MyUserControl/>
</ToolBar>

If you wanna add other control types to the ToolBar like the Button you mentioned above, then you will need to define a custom StyleSelector instead that you will set to the ItemContainerStyleSelector property. Here is a pretty good sample of StyleSelector implementation: Style Selectors
