Blinking button on WPF application

Question

My WPF application has a style manager that I have built on blend.

My problem is this: I\'ve got a login button that blinks occasionally and i can\'t figure out how

Answer 1

A slightly less obtrusive way of removing that blinking would be to set a new ControlTemplate for ButtonBase with the offending bindings removed.

I took this via StyleSnooper from the Button default Style and revamped/simplified it to be a Style for ButtonBase that simply provides a new ControlTemplate*. To do this, add an assembly reference to Presentation.Aero and introduce the Microsoft.Windows.Themes namespace in your ResourceDictionary.

Here, I specifically removed the affected Button's ability to "blink" on its IsDefault property by hardcoding RenderDefaulted to false; you'll probably also want to replace the RenderMouseOver TemplateBinding.

Then use this style as a BasedOn for your Button:

(*) And yes, we should really have the ability to use BasedOn for ControlTemplates as well...
