How to bind a setter property value with a variable in WPF from one window to another?
I have this Code :

XML

<Style x:Key="Style1" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" >
                <Setter.Value>
                    <SolidColorBrush Color=" COLORHERE "></SolidColorBrush>
                </Setter.Value>
..........

I want to bind the color with a variable in another window to change the color for all buttons at runtime. I am coding in VB.NET

XML

So, is if Forms or WPF?! There are different libraries. You either use one or another. (This is also interop, but I think we don't discuss this pathology only applicable to using some legacy code.)

WPF, it maybe an easy solution for my question, but I am new to WPF, you told me that WPF is faster than winForm on my other account(abdallah alsayed) Here : (http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/523226/Howplustoplusspeedplusupplusmyplusvb-netplusapplic) and U were right. My Project (GIF animator) is pretty fast even if the used Picture is larger than 54 MB, My language is not English so I don't really know what words to use in my questions, but I meant that I want to change the "Style1" background Property at runtime using a vb.net code, then when the style background changed the buttons background will change too, I'm I wrong? Thanks

That's not English, this is just the terminology you need to be aware of. WPF does not have the class named "Form". There is System.Windows.Forms.Form class, but this is a different library. In WPF, you normally use the class "Window" instead of that.

The tag "Forms" in your tag is what we use, but in your case please remove it, to avoid further confusions. You are the most interested in that. Other tags are fine.

P.S.: I'm sorry, I'm not 100% sure what happens with the child background when you change this style (I would guess not), did not do if for a while. But wouldn't it be easier for you just to find out by trying it? :-)

Sorry I'll be careful the next time I ask. ' But wouldn't it be easier for you just to find out by trying it?' >>> I wouldn't ask if I know what vb.net code should I use to edit a setter.value at runtime and try it :)
