Edit a style
You can use the style of a control in Blend para Visual Studio 2012 project to specify triggers (Windows Presentation Foundation) or states (Microsoft Silverlight) and properties that will be used as defaults by the control to which the style is applied. The properties (such as the background brush color) will affect the appearance of the control, and the triggers or states will affect how the control responds to property changes and events. For example, when a user moves the pointer over the control, the IsMouseOver property changes from False to True and the MouseOver event fires. You can create a style for a button that causes the background color of the button to change when the pointer moves over the button.

Style resources save you time by allowing you to define the appearance and behavior for a type of control, and then apply that style to multiple instances of that type of control on the artboard. When you modify a style resource, all of the controls on the artboard that use that style are automatically updated.

To edit a style, you must have already created the style as a resource or applied the style to an object on the artboard. For more information, see Create a style or Apply a style resource. |
To edit the style of an object on the artboard

On the Object menu, point to Edit Style, and then click Edit Current.

If the Style property is empty, the object does not have a custom style applied to it.
