    <p>I've thrown together a template in Expression Blend for a button, and it works alright - until I tab over to it and press the spacebar. I get the following error:</p> <p>InvalidOperationException '[Unknown]' property does not point to a DependencyObject in path '(0).(1).[0].(2)'.</p> <p>The code is as follows:</p> <pre><code> &lt;ControlTemplate x:Key="EmailButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}"&gt; &lt;ControlTemplate.Resources&gt; &lt;Storyboard x:Key="MouseOverStoryboard"&gt; &lt;ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.Background).(GradientBrush.GradientStops)[0].(GradientStop.Color)"&gt; &lt;SplineColorKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.4000000" Value="#FF55679E"/&gt; &lt;/ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames&gt; &lt;/Storyboard&gt; &lt;Storyboard x:Key="UnMouseOverStoryboard"&gt; &lt;ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="border" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.Background).(GradientBrush.GradientStops)[0].(GradientStop.Color)"&gt; &lt;SplineColorKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.4000000" Value="#FF92A2D3"/&gt; &lt;/ColorAnimationUsingKeyFrames&gt; &lt;/Storyboard&gt; &lt;/ControlTemplate.Resources&gt; &lt;Border x:Name="border" BorderBrush="#FF000000" BorderThickness="2,2,2,2" CornerRadius="4,4,4,4"&gt; &lt;Border.Background&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.47,-0.01" StartPoint="0.47,0.808"&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FF92A2D3" Offset="0"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FFFFFFFF" Offset="1"/&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt; &lt;/Border.Background&gt; &lt;ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"/&gt; &lt;/Border&gt; &lt;ControlTemplate.Triggers&gt; &lt;Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border" Value="#FF92A2D3"/&gt; &lt;/Trigger&gt; &lt;Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"&gt; &lt;Trigger.EnterActions&gt; &lt;BeginStoryboard x:Name="MouseOverStoryboard_BeginStoryboard" Storyboard="{StaticResource MouseOverStoryboard}"/&gt; &lt;/Trigger.EnterActions&gt; &lt;Trigger.ExitActions&gt; &lt;BeginStoryboard x:Name="UnMouseOverStoryboard_BeginStoryboard" Storyboard="{StaticResource UnMouseOverStoryboard}"/&gt; &lt;/Trigger.ExitActions&gt; &lt;/Trigger&gt; &lt;/ControlTemplate.Triggers&gt; &lt;/ControlTemplate&gt; </code></pre> <p>It would seem like either the MouseOverStoryboard or UnMouseOverStoryboard are being fired (The path mentioned in the error seems to match the TargetProperty). I'm not sure why either would fire when pressing the spacebar though... Any suggestions?</p> <p>EDIT: Thanks to Ryan Versaw, I tried the following, which now prevents spacebar-clicking from throwing the exception:</p> <pre><code> &lt;Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="Background" TargetName="border"&gt; &lt;Setter.Value&gt; &lt;LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0"&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FF92A2D3" Offset="0"/&gt; &lt;GradientStop Color="#FF92A2D3" Offset="1"/&gt; &lt;/LinearGradientBrush&gt; &lt;/Setter.Value&gt; &lt;/Setter&gt; &lt;/Trigger&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now the brush type stays consistent (LinearGradientBrush), and there is always 0th GradientStop available. </p> <p>I'm still curious about one other thing - what is the <i>best</i> way to go about this, considering that this sorta feels like a hack (ex: a third gradient stop is added/animated, then a third GradientStop needs to be added when IsPressed==True).</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestions! Hopefully this will help someone else, too.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
