ToggleButton Checked Appearance

[Jeff]

I am using the the Windows7Theme for my application and I want to do so for RadToggleButtons too...but I need it to have a more pronounced background color when checked (like the Office Blue theme which highlights the control in yellow). What is the easiest way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Hello Jeff,

There is no direct way to achieve this. You have to get the Windows7 Theme`s XAML code from the Themes folder in your RadControls` installation folder , modify it and use it in your application.

Hi Admin,

I am also facing the same issue. This question was posted on 2011.

Is there any easy way to change the checked color to green for the toggle button in the latest release?

Thanks,

Hi Sateesh,

The RadButtons suite uses VisualStates to change its appearance in the different control's states (check, normal, clicked, hovered, disabled, etc.). Those visual states are located in the ControlTemplate of the button and they cannot be modified easily. 

As Peter mentioned, in order to modify the checked color to green you can extract the ControlTemplate of the button and modify the visual element that represents its checked background.

I attached a sample solution that demonstrates and approach with modified template and an attached property.
