Hi, everybody.

I want integrated a image define in ressource dictionnary in background button. This button has a style. When the button hasn't style, my image appears. As soon as I put my button style, the image no longer appears.

I don"t understand my error. Can you help me?

Here is a source code for my button style :

XML

<Style x:Key="CtrlButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">

        <Setter Property="FontFamily"  Value="Myriad Pro" />
        <Setter Property="FontSize"  Value="14" />        
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="90" />
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="10,20,10,0" /> 
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
                    <Border   x:Name="ButtonBorder" 
                              CornerRadius="10,10,10,10" 
                              BorderThickness="4,4,4,4" 
                              removed="#00000000"
                              BorderBrush="#FF8F8F8F"
                              RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
                    >
                    <ContentPresenter x:Name="ButtonContentPresenter"
                             VerticalAlignment="Bottom"  
                             HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                    />  
                    </Border>
                    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                        <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
                            <Setter Property="RenderTransform" TargetName="ButtonBorder">
                                <Setter.Value>
                                    <TransformGroup>
                                        <ScaleTransform ScaleX="0.9" ScaleY="0.9"/>
                                    </TransformGroup>
                                </Setter.Value>
                            </Setter>
                        </Trigger>
                    </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                </ControlTemplate>
                
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

Here is a source code for my button:

XML

<Button  Content ="Close" Style="{StaticResource CtrlButton}" Name="btnClose"  Height="96" Width="96" HorizontalAlignment="Right"  Click="btnClose_Click" Margin="0,20,10,0">
                <Button.Background>
                    <VisualBrush Visual="{StaticResource Close}" >
                    </VisualBrush>
                </Button.Background>
            </Button>

Thanks for your help.
best regard.

Is the emplate overriding the Backgound or mabye it lies on top of it, so you should perhaps bind the background in the tamplate to you button background?

Kenneth is correct, your Style overlays ontop of the original background

I'm not sure if which of these you need but if you force their background to be from the parent then it should resolve the issue.

XML

<border x:name="ButtonBorder" xmlns:x="#unknown">
                              CornerRadius="10,10,10,10" 
                              BorderThickness="4,4,4,4" 
                              removed="#00000000"
                              BorderBrush=" #FF8F8F8F" 
                              RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                    ></border>

or

XML

                  <contentpresenter x:name="ButtonContentPresenter" xmlns:x="#unknown">
                             VerticalAlignment="Bottom"  
                             HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                    />  </contentpresenter>

You shouldn't need to change the button XAML, just the control template.
