Hi all,

Has anyone used States on WPF controls in anger?  I can’t find any info on
how to use them effectively.

In my brief foray into them, I added a Button to a window, edited its
template, switched to the States tab in Blend and it’s got some recommended
states prepopulated.  Modifying the template and recording into those
states gives the effect I want.  So far so good.

If I go to the states pane on a custom built control it has recommended
states, but not the ones I want (the common states, like mouse over etc).
I try copying the state manager section from the previously styled button,
but these states are missing the magic that binds(?) them up correctly and
don’t work as expected.

There’s a bit of magic here I don’t quite understand.  Can I manually hook
up the common states?  Where does the magic happen?

And finally, is it worth the effort?  I’m worried I’ll remove my working
triggers to use states, and get to a point where the states fail and I’ll
have to roll back to using triggers.  Any advice?

Cheers,
Carl.
