How to override default styles for ScrollBar and Thumb?

15 Dec 2014, 00:32

Hi,

I'm trying to override the style of ScrollViewer component to make the scroll bar look like it looks on iOS as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1096 ... ollbar-wpf

In Blend I see exactly what is expected, but when I run it in Unity with NoesisGUI, it's obvious that styles are ignored (see attached screenshots).

DefaultStyles.xaml:
<ResourceDictionary
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

    <!--Scrollbar Thumbs-->
    <Style x:Key="ScrollThumbs" TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
                    <Grid x:Name="Grid">
                        <Rectangle HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" Fill="Transparent"/>
                        <Border x:Name="Rectangle1" CornerRadius="5" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>
                    </Grid>
                    <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                        <Trigger Property="Tag" Value="Horizontal">
                            <Setter TargetName="Rectangle1" Property="Width" Value="Auto"/>
                            <Setter TargetName="Rectangle1" Property="Height" Value="7"/>
                        </Trigger>
                    </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>

    <!--ScrollBars-->
    <Style x:Key="{x:Type ScrollBar}" TargetType="{x:Type ScrollBar}">
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#8C8C8C"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="8"/>
        <Setter Property="Template">

                            <RowDefinition Height="0.00001*"/>
                        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

                        <Track x:Name="PART_Track" Grid.Row="0" IsDirectionReversed="true" Focusable="false">
                            <Track.Thumb>

Am I doing something wrong? What should I do to override the default styling of Thumb and ScrollBar, and to apply my own styling?

Re: How to override default styles for ScrollBar and Thumb?

It might be that the ScrollBar isn't being targeted properly. In my case, the scrollviewer has an overridden template, and the scrollbar points to the scrollbar style directly. Here's the one I use:

https://gist.github.com/MrHayato/c0006965757ed430bd3e

I don't have the triggers for horizontal scrollbars because in my case, it'll never be horizontal so I took it out. I should be easily re-added.

Thanks a lot! Adding a style for ScrollViewer helped!

This is the working code:

DefaultStyles.xaml
<ResourceDictionary
	xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
	xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

	<!--Scrollbar Thumbs-->

						<Border x:Name="Rectangle1" CornerRadius="5" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>
					</Grid>
					<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
						<Trigger Property="Tag" Value="Horizontal">

							<Setter TargetName="Rectangle1" Property="Height" Value="7"/>
						</Trigger>
					</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
				</ControlTemplate>
			</Setter.Value>
		</Setter>
	</Style>

	<!--ScrollBars-->

						</Trigger>
					</ControlTemplate.Triggers>

Re: How to override default styles for ScrollBar and Thumb?

It's nice to see how people is helping each other :D

As you have noticed, you need to override ScrollViewer template because our default style is assigning the template of its scrollbars explicitly. We have to change this in a future release so only by setting ScrollBar and ScrollBar Thumb styles will be enough to modify ScrollViewer's appearance.

Thanks for reporting.
