Appearance Customization

• Jul 10, 2020

Common Properties

You can use the following properties to customize the appearance of a Bar/Toolbar/Ribbon:

• Background
• BorderBrush
• BorderThickness
• CornerRadius
• Foreground
• Margin
• Padding

Triggers

Use the BarItem.Triggers property to customize a BarItem‘s appearance properties based on a condition. When you apply the standard WPF styles and triggers to the BarItem, triggers do not customize the appearance of bound BarItemLinks independently. The BarItem.Triggers property checks the trigger condition for each BarItemLink that is bound to the BarItem.

Tip

For more information on the bar item structure, refer to the following help topic: Items and Links.

Bars

The BarSplitButtonItem control consists of a command with a down arrow. You can use appearance properties inherited from the BarItem control to specify the appearance of the BarSplitButtonItem command part.
