Examples

This example shows a ControlTemplate that defines custom focus visuals for a Button.

Some elements of the control template aren't shown to make the relevant parts more clear.

<Style TargetType="Button">

<!-- Set UseSystemFocusVisuals to false. -->
    <Setter Property="UseSystemFocusVisuals" Value="False"/> 
     ...

    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="Button">

Remarks

This property is false by default so that a custom ControlTemplate that defines its own focus visuals works as expected. However, all XAML framework controls set this property to true in their ControlTemplate and use system drawn focus visuals.

To define custom focus visuals for a control, you need to provide a custom ControlTemplate. In the ControlTemplate, do the following:

  • If you're modifying a default ControlTemplate, be sure to set the UseSystemFocusVisuals property to false to turn off the system focus visuals. When set to false, the focus states in the VisualStateManager are called.
  • Define a VisualStateGroup for FocusStates.
  • In the FocusStates group, define VisualStates for Focused, Unfocused, and PointerFocused.
  • Define the focus visuals.
