Is it possible to trigger OnMouseOver style from xaml?

[Tim]

Is it possible to trigger OnMouseOver style depending of another control OnMouseOver state?
Specifically I would like to trigger OnMouseOver style on a RadButton when user hovers a RadComboBox.

Hi Ivo,

I'm assuming that currently the RadButton you are mentioning is inside the ControlTemplate of the RadComboBox. On MouseOver of the RadComboBox you want to make sure that ToggleButton knows this and changes accordingly like it has being hovered directly. You can achieve this fairly easy with the use of DataTrigger (for example we'll change the Foreground of the Button):

<Style.Triggers>
           <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type RadComboBox}}, Path=IsMouseOver}" Value="True">
               <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
           </DataTrigger >
       </Style.Triggers>

Hi Evgenia,

Thank you for you answer. What I actually would like is to trigger control's built-in OnMouseOver Style so the when I change the theme, OnMouseOver style is consistent. Not to change the Background to another color like in your example. Is that possible?

Hi Ivo,

You might find attached a sample project that I believe does what you required. Some notes about it -- please add NoXAML binaries reference to the project to be able to run it as it is made to be used with our implicit styles theming mechanism. It will definwetely work on changing themes runtime as well. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.

Hi Evgenia,

Your solution works perfectly even with the normal libs (currently we are using those).

Regards.
