In the attached image you will see how I want the second radupload control to look like. when no files are selected, i wanted to display some gray text ("optional" in this case), kinda like the EmptyContent that is on your maskededitcontrol. From what i can tell, I thought that I would do this in the style i can apply to the RadUpload control in the rootelement section as shown below. So i was just going to use a TextBlock right by the ItemsPresenter. The issue I have is i need to show or not show that textblock depending on if a file has been selected by the user. Is there something i could bind to the Visibility (thru a converter probably?) property of the textblock at this point in the style that would allow this? or is there a better way to accomplish what i want?
