Where is the "ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush" located?
- by Dimi Toulakis
I have a problem understanding one style definition in Windows 8 metro apps.
When you create a metro style application with VS, there is also a folder named
Common
created. Inside this folder there is file called
StandardStyles.xaml
Now the following snippet is from this file:
<!-- Grid-appropriate 250 pixel square item template as seen in the GroupedItemsPage and ItemsPage -->
<DataTemplate x:Key="Standard250x250ItemTemplate">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="250" Height="250">
<Border Background="{StaticResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Image Source="{Binding Image}" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
</Border>
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Background="{StaticResource ListViewItemOverlayBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" Foreground="{StaticResource ListViewItemOverlayForegroundThemeBrush}" Style="{StaticResource TitleTextStyle}" Height="60" Margin="15,0,15,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Subtitle}" Foreground="{StaticResource ListViewItemOverlaySecondaryForegroundThemeBrush}" Style="{StaticResource CaptionTextStyle}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Margin="15,0,15,10"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
What I do not understand here is the static resource definition, e.g. for the Border
Background="{StaticResource ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush}"
It is not about how you work with templates and binding and resources.
Where is this ListViewItemPlaceholderBackgroundThemeBrush located?
Many thanks for your help.
