I am trying to develop an application that uses a number of images that are stored in a seperate remote file location. The file-paths to the UI elements are stored within the Application Settings. Although I understand how to access the images from Applications Settings using a MultiBinding and a value converter, I'm not sure how to integrate the Multibinding into the ImageButton ControlTemplate below. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
<Image.Source>
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource MyConverter}">
<Binding Source="{StaticResource Properties.Settings}" Path="Default.pathToInterfaceImages" />
<Binding Source="ScreenSaver.png"></Binding>
</MultiBinding>
</Image.Source>
<Button Click="btn_ScreenSaver_Click" Style="{DynamicResource ThreeImageButton}"
local:ThreeImageButton.Image="C:\Skins\ScreenSaver_UP.png"
local:ThreeImageButton.MouseOverImage="C:\Skins\ScreenSaver_OVER.png"
local:ThreeImageButton.PressedImage="C:\Skins\ScreenSaver_DOWN.png"/>
<Style
x:Key="ThreeImageButton"
TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="10"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="34"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Image Name="PART_Image" Source= "{Binding Path=(local:ThreeImageButton.Image), RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Button}}}" />
</StackPanel>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="{Binding Path=(local:ThreeImageButton.MouseOverImage), RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Button}}}" TargetName="PART_Image"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="{Binding Path=(local:ThreeImageButton.PressedImage), RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Button}}}" TargetName="PART_Image"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="{Binding Path=(local:ThreeImageButton.Image), RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Button}}}" TargetName="PART_Image"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
public class ThreeImageButton : DependencyObject
{
// Add three new Dependency Properties to the Button Class to hold the
