Hello! I wonder if without border properties 'BorderThickness & BorderBrush' of a Control Style (ie Button) can help the overall performance when that control is used in large quantities through a list/treeview? Thanks.

Hey Francis Provencher-Leduc Thats a good question and thanks for posting it on QandA platform So omitting the 'BorderThickness' and 'BorderBrush' properties in a WPF control style, such as a Button, can have impacts on performance. removing these properties might not significantly affect memory usage, but it can influence the visual rendering of the control. In scenarios where the control is used extensively, like in lists or treeviews, like you mentioned simplifying the visual appearance by excluding unnecessary borders could potentially improve rendering speed So answering to the entire question omitting these properties might have a slight positive impact on performance, it's crucial to balance visual appearance with efficiency. If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.

Thx for this for comment!

In that regards, do you beleive we should focus more in simplify Visual Tree of our UI, than trying to gain performace gain by removing style properties?

Hey again Absolutely! Simplifying the Visual Tree in your UI is like the boss move for boosting WPF performance. While modifying \ style properties helps a bit too, So, my suggestion is to go with simplifying the Visual Tree for performance boost!
