I cannot apply the MouseOver style to the outline inside ContentPresenter.
I have a Button style containing ContentPresenter:
<Style x:Key="ContentButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> <ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"> <ContentPresenter.Resources> <Style TargetType="{x:Type Path}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ContentButtonPathStyle}"/> </ContentPresenter.Resources> </ContentPresenter>
Here is a style, so I can have a rollover effect on the way:
<Style x:Key="ContentButtonPathStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Path}"> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Fill" Value="#FF00FF10"/> <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="6"/> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property="Fill"> <Setter.Value> <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0"> <GradientStop Color="#FFB4B3E7" Offset="0"/> <GradientStop Color="#FF0800FF" Offset="1"/> </LinearGradientBrush> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>
I also have a resource file for icons with the Viewbox, which contains the path:
<Viewbox x:Key="MyIcon"> <Grid> <Path Data="M78,296 L37.5,306.5 45.5,354.5 123.5,343.5 z" /> </Grid> </Viewbox>
And finally, I create a button and assign the Viewbox resource to Content:
<Button Style="{DynamicResource ContentButton}"> <ContentPresenter Content="{DynamicResource MyIcon}"/> </Button>
Using "BasedOn" to style the content of a ContentPresenter is the method I found here:

However, this does not work for me ... I spent many hours trying to figure it out!
Any ideas?
Thanks!
OK, based on Makho's excellent answer, here is my last XAML.
I also added a DataTriggeer for IsPressed, which works great!
I hope this helps someone ...
First, style:
<Style x:Key="ContentButtonPathStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Path}"> <Style.Triggers> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource= {RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Button}}, Path=IsMouseOver}" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Yellow"/> <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Blue"/> </DataTrigger> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource= {RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Button}}, Path=IsPressed}" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Red"/> <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Black"/> </DataTrigger> </Style.Triggers> <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Green"/> <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Red"/> </Style>
Next, the icon itself:
<Viewbox Stretch="Fill" x:Shared="False" x:Key="MyIcon"> <Path StrokeThickness="6" Data="M160.26077,0.5 L196.5,36.739223 232.73923,0.5 251.12399,18.884777 214.88478,55.124001 251.12399,91.363222 232.73923,109.748 196.5,73.508779 160.26077,109.748 141.87601,91.363222 178.11522,55.124001 141.87601,18.884777 z" Stretch="Fill"/> </Viewbox>
Then the template:
<Style x:Key="ContentButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> <ControlTemplate.Resources> <Style TargetType="{x:Type Path}" BasedOn="{StaticResource ContentButtonPathStyle}"/> </ControlTemplate.Resources> <Grid Background="Transparent"><ContentPresenter /></Grid> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>
And finally, put a few buttons that use a pattern and style:
<Grid> <Button Style="{DynamicResource ContentButton}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="128" Height="128" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="85.5,87,0,0"> <ContentPresenter Content="{DynamicResource MyIcon}" d:IsLocked="True"/> </Button> <Button Style="{DynamicResource ContentButton}" Height="64" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,87,204.5,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="64"> <ContentPresenter Content="{DynamicResource MyIcon}" d:IsLocked="True"/> </Button> <Button Style="{DynamicResource ContentButton}" Height="96" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="234,0,0,66.5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="96"> <ContentPresenter Content="{DynamicResource MyIcon}" d:IsLocked="True"/> </Button> <Button Style="{DynamicResource ContentButton}" Height="32" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="0,0,138.5,130.5" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="32"> <ContentPresenter Content="{DynamicResource MyIcon}" d:IsLocked="True"/> </Button> </Grid>
