I'm creating a resource dictionary to my application, where I'll have some "icon+text" buttons. Since they will all look the same (except for the icon and the text), I've created a generic style to serve as base to the others:
<!-- Generic ActionButtonStyle -->
<Style x:Key="ActionButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<!-- some setter properties -->
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{DynamicResource ButtonDataTemplate}"/>
</Style>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ButtonDataTemplate">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="24" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="{Binding Source}"
Stretch="Uniform"
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="2"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding text}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Grid.Column="1"
Margin="2"
VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
And I have some images for the icons:
<!-- Icons -->
<ImageSource x:Key="textToSpeech">Images/GreyIcons/TextToSpeech.png</ImageSource>
<ImageSource x:Key="play">Images/GreyIcons/Play.png</ImageSource>
<ImageSource x:Key="playSound">Images/GreyIcons/PaySound.png</ImageSource>
.
.
.
.
<ImageSource x:Key="group">Images/GreyIcons/Goup1.png</ImageSource>
And I'd like to create individual styles for each button (corresponding to each icon). Something like this:
<!-- Specific ActionButtonStyles -->
<Style x:Key="TextToSpeechButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ActionButtonStyle}">
<Setter Property="Content">
<Setter.Value>
<Image Source="{StaticResource textToSpeech}"
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I know that this doesn't work.. How should I do it? Should I create a custom user control for the generic button? The text will be binding to an object in my Model, and so will the command (to an action).
