  1. POCustom Image Button and Radio/Toggle Button from Common Base Class
    text
    copied!<p>I would like to create a set of custom controls that are basically image buttons (it's a little more complex than that, but that's the underlying effect I'm going for) that I've seen a few different examples for. However, I would like to further extend that to also allow radio/toggle buttons.</p> <p>What I'd like to do is have a common abstract class called ImageButtonBase that has default implementations for ImageSource and Text, etc. That makes a regular ImageButton implementation pretty easy.</p> <p>The issue I am having is creating the RadioButton flavor of it. As I see it, there are at least three options: </p> <ol> <li>It would be easy to create something that derives from RadioButton, but then I can't use the abstract class I've created. </li> <li>I could change the abstract class to an interface, but then I lose the abstract implementations, and will in fact have duplication of code. </li> <li>I could derive from my abstract class, and re-implement the RadioButton-type properties and events (IsChecked, GroupName, etc.), but that certainly doesn't seem like a great idea.</li> </ol> <p>Note: I have seen <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2362641/how-to-get-a-group-of-toggle-buttons-to-act-like-radio-buttons-in-wpf">How to get a group of toggle buttons to act like radio buttons in WPF?</a>, but what I want to do is a little more complex.</p> <p>I'm just wondering if anybody has an example of an implementation, or something that might be adapted to this kind of scenario. I can see pros and cons of each of the ideas above, but each comes with potential pitfalls.</p> <p>Thanks, wTs</p>
