VisualState.Name Property

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Name As String

public string Name { get; }

<VisualState x:Name="stateName"/>

Remarks

Control authors specify which VisualState objects the control expects to find in its ControlTemplate by putting the TemplateVisualStateAttribute on its class signature. ControlTemplate authors define new VisualState objects and set the Name property to the value specified by the TemplateVisualStateAttribute.Name property. For information about how to create a ControlTemplate and VisualState objects for existing controls, see Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Using a ControlTemplate.

Examples

The following example creates a VisualStateGroup in the ControlTemplate of a Button called CommonStates and adds VisualState objects for the states, Normal, Pressed, and MouseOver. The Button also defines a state called Disabled that is in the CommonStatesVisualStateGroup, but the example omits it for brevity. For the entire example, see Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Using a ControlTemplate.
