Generating WPF Password
I am currently trying to do the following: If no password is entered, the text "Password" should be displayed.
But with my template the password is not displayed and if I use a decorator or scrollviewer I cannot change the text color.
Do you have any ideas for achieving this?
Here's my style code:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}" x:Key="Password">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="PasswordBox">
<Grid>
<PasswordBox Background="{StaticResource BrushDark}" Foreground="{StaticResource BrushTextNormal}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource BrushBorderInput}" BorderThickness="1"/>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="Password"
Margin="5,0,5,0"
Foreground="#ff808080"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
x:Name="UserMessage"
Visibility="Hidden"/>
<!--<ScrollViewer Foreground="{StaticResource BrushTextNormal}" Background="{StaticResource BrushTextNormal}" x:Name="PART_ContentHost"/>-->
<!--<Decorator TextBlock.Foreground="White" x:Name="PART_ContentHost"/>-->
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="Tag" Value=""/>
<Condition Property="IsKeyboardFocusWithin" Value="False"/>
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="UserMessage" Value="Visible"/>
</MultiTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

If you create a custom ControlTemplate
for PasswordBox
or TextBox
, you need to put ScrollViewer
with name x:Name="PART_ContentHost
instead of innerPasswordBox
From Password and PasswordBox Templates
PART_ContentHost is a visual element that can contain a FrameworkElement. This element displays the text PasswordBox.
And change Foreground
like another one Setter
on you Style
. Also, as a side node, I would do the same with Background
and use TemplateBinding
in your ControlTemplate
. This will give a lot of flexibility and allow you to change Background
and / or Foreground
manually without changingControlTemplate
<Style TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}" x:Key="Password">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource BrushTextNormal}" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource BrushDark}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}">
<Grid Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost" .../>
<TextBlock .../>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<!-- removed -->
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
