you can do the following

<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ToggleButton" x:Key="checkedToggle">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>

check to see if the conversion "Dim tb As ToggleButton = sender" succedes? if not the next line will fail because tb is nothing in this case

Code Snippet

public Window1()

{

InitializeComponent();

ToggleButton t = new ToggleButton();

t.Content = "Toogle button";

t.Checked += new RoutedEventHandler(t_Checked);

this.Content = t;

}

void t_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

ToggleButton t = sender as ToggleButton;

t.Background = Brushes.LightBlue;

}

this is an example I tested.If this is not working provide the xaml code where you declared the toggle button.

End Sub

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Unchecked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles ToggleButton1.Unchecked
sender.background = Brushes.Green 'works
End Sub

Private Sub ToggleButton2_Checked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles ToggleButton2.Checked
sender.background = Brushes.Red 'not work ,but where ToggleButton2 has unChecked,then we can see it was changed to Red

Hi,Marlon Grech ,

I couldn't get Marlon's example to work either, and when I tried doing the trigger in blend it was not working. You change the template of the ToggleButton and then change the background of that new element based on the IsChecked property as shown below:

Code Snippet

</Grid>

Hope that helps some.

"Marlon Grech" don't work because in the "Luna" style, the default ControlTemplate don't use the background property. But it should work in "classic" style...

"Aquaseal" approch will not follow the user's Windows theme (classic, Luna, Aero)..

Here is another approch. Wich use the ContentTemplate to display the red background:

<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="RedBackground">

</Grid>

</DataTemplate>

<Style.Triggers>

</Trigger>

</Style.Triggers>

</Style>
</Window.Resources>

Try this...
Please mark me as answerer if this post helped you.
