Is it possible to change or modify a specific part
of a
control template without having to recreate the entire
control template
of the
control in the xaml?
For example, I was trying to get rid
of the border
of a textbox, so I could throw together a basic search box with rounded corners (example xaml below). Setting the borderthickness to 0 works fine, until you mouse over the textbox and a pseudo border they added to the
control flashes up. If I look at the controltemplate for the textbox, I can even see the visual state is named, but cannot think
of how to disable it.
Without overriding the
control template
of the TextBox, how would I stop the Visual State Manager firing the mouse over effect on the TextBox?
