Customizing the Viewer With Styles

The Viewer control can be skinned using the standard Silverlight 2 method of setting Styles in the App.xaml file of your Silverlight project.

Example of how to Apply a Skin to the Viewer

These styles are placed in your XAML and referred to using the Style property:


    <Style TargetType="local:Viewer">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="#ffffff" />
        <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#a4a4a4" />
        <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
        <Setter Property="SliderBackground">
            <Setter.Value>
                <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0.5,0" EndPoint="0.5,1">
                    <GradientStop Color="#cc888888" Offset="0.0" />
                    <GradientStop Color="#ccaaaaaa" Offset="1.0" />
                </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
        <Setter Property="SliderBorderBrush" Value="#cc888888" />
        <Setter Property="SliderBorderThickness" Value="1" />
        <Setter Property="SliderCornerRadius" Value="10" />
        <Setter Property="Minimum" Value="0.05" />
        <Setter Property="Maximum" Value="5" />
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:Viewer">
                    <Canvas x:Name="RootElement">
                        <Canvas.Resources>
                            <Storyboard x:Name="ElementFadeOut" BeginTime="0">
                                <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ElementSliderGrid" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" From="1.0" To="0.3" Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
                            </Storyboard>
                            <Storyboard x:Name="ElementFadeIn" BeginTime="0">
                                <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="ElementSliderGrid" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" From="0.3" To="1.0" Duration="0:0:0.3"/>
                            </Storyboard>
                        </Canvas.Resources>
                        <ScrollViewer x:Name="ElementContainer" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
                            <Canvas x:Name="ElementChildren">
                                <Canvas.RenderTransform>
                                    <ScaleTransform x:Name="ElementScale" />
                                </Canvas.RenderTransform>
                                <ContentPresenter x:Name="ElementContent" />
                            </Canvas>
                        </ScrollViewer>
                        <Grid x:Name="ElementSliderGrid" Opacity="0.3">
                            <Rectangle Width="Auto" Height="Auto" RadiusX="{TemplateBinding SliderCornerRadius}" RadiusY="{TemplateBinding SliderCornerRadius}" Fill="{TemplateBinding SliderBackground}" Stroke="{TemplateBinding SliderBorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="{TemplateBinding SliderBorderThickness}" />
                            <Slider x:Name="ElementSliderX" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" SmallChange="10" Margin="2" Maximum="{TemplateBinding Maximum}" Minimum="{TemplateBinding Minimum}" Orientation="Horizontal" />
                        </Grid>
                    </Canvas>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>


As you can see, styling is a powerful method of customizing the controls to suite the look and feel of your Silverlight application.
