Silverlight Togglebutton Push Pin Style with IsoStore

Now you can pin a full-screen app to a second monitor in Silverlight 4, you may want an UI control to facilitate this. In fact, what you need is a ToggleButton. And your ToggleButton has to be communicate it’s function. A Push Pin Style is a good solution for that.

This Push Pin Style for a silverlight (or WPF) ToggleButton is small, totally customizable and free :). It features tooltips to show the action you can do. The setting is stored in IsoStore and picked up the next time you start your app. The states are each represented using a canvas, so you can easily swap the visuals for your own if you want to.

The XAML is simple:

<ToggleButton x:Name="btnPin" Style="{StaticResource btnPin}" Checked="pin" Unchecked="unpin" Content="" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Pin this"/>

Files are too large to include here, but I put the project on my SkyDrive.

Njoy!
