Thank you for this information. I'll take a look at the content template and the post.

It's too bad that you guys don't give us access to those default styles without retemplating the control.

If we created our own Infragistics theme and applied it to the XamRibbon control could we then change the titlebar color without retemplating? Or do we have to retemplate no matter what?

I get that for our companies logo we would have to retemplate but just curious about changing the background color of the title bar using a custom theme.

I found a a style in the RibbonGeneric.xaml file called Caption ContentControl Style

    <!-- =================================================================== -->
    <!-- Caption ContentControl Style -->
    <!-- =================================================================== -->

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}" x:Key="{x:Static igRibbon:RibbonCaptionPanel.CaptionStyleKey}">

I added this to my XamRibbon.Resources and change the foreground to White just as a test and it worked and the title changed colors.

Did I do that correctly or is there another way of making this work that would be easier?

There is one issue though.

I've been putting all the styles and control templates I copied from the example solution into a resource dictionary which is located in a separate xaml file than my mainwindow.xaml. Everything has worked fine in that other xaml file except for this Caption ControlContent Style. If I put that in my resource dictionary in the other xaml file then the title doesn't change to the white color.

Any idea what that might be the case?

I also have to find the styles for the minimize, mazimize and close buttons and change their foreground color. I'll look through the RibbonGeneric.xaml file and see if I can find them.

Again if there is an easier way of doing this please let me know.

Thanks

Mike

Hi,

Thanks for all the help so far I've got most everything working like we want except one last thing.

I need to change the color of the QuickAccessToolbar drop down toggle button in the ribbonwindow titlebar. I've looked through the styles but for some reason I'm not able to find the right one.

Can you let tell me which contenttemplate or style I can use to change the color?

EDITED: Actually there is something else as well. I need to know where the trigger is for IsMouseOver for the QAT drop down toggle so I can change the foreground to the dark color we use when the mouse is over it.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for this example. I'll take a look at it and let you know.

Thank you for being patient and I am glad I was able to assist.

This was just what I needed. I don't have any other questions right now. Thank you for all your help and direction in helping me solve these issues. It is greatly appreciated.

Thanks I'll give it try and will let you know.

In the sample I provided you should see a Style targeting ApplicatinMenu2010Item on line 7179. There you can add Setters for Header and FontSize. 

eg.

<Style TargetType="igRibbon:ApplicationMenu2010Item">
<Setter Property="Header">
<Setter.Value>
<TextBlock Margin="5,0,0,0"
Text="Just a button" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="25"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static igRibbon:ApplicationMenu2010Item.ButtonTemplateKey}}" />
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ItemType" Value="Tab">
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static igRibbon:ApplicationMenu2010Item.TabTemplateKey}}" />
</Trigger>

<!-- Do not show the default focus for buttons - only for the tabs -->
<Trigger Property="ItemType" Value="Button">
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Style />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've got the dropdown button working the way I want. Thanks for the help.

My apologies but another question has come up.

How do I increase the text and image size of the Header of an ApplicationMenu2010Item? I think the ControlTemplate to use for that is this

<ControlTemplate TargetType="igRibbon:ApplicationMenu2010Item" x:Key="{x:Static igRibbon:ApplicationMenu2010Item.ButtonTemplateKey}">

However, for some reason no matter what I do to that template I'm not able to increase the size of the text or the image I want to show. Obviously, I'm missing something but I can't figure out what that might be.

Any ideas?
