Restyle the ContactList Control

Use the following procedure to change the appearance of the control.

To restyle a ContactList control

1. Create a Microsoft Lync Controls application by using the Microsoft Silverlight or Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation template. For more information, see Walkthrough: Presence Hello World.

2. In the XAML pane, add the XAML text to create a ContactList control. Add a style to set the Background and FontFamily properties on the control.

   <Grid>
           <Grid.Resources>
               <Style x:Key="MyContactListStyle" TargetType="Controls:ContactList">
                   <Setter Property="Background" Value="AliceBlue"/>
                   <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Courier New"/>
               </Style>
           </Grid.Resources>
           <Controls:ContactList Style="{StaticResource MyContactListStyle}"/>
   </Grid>
   

3. Run the project. If the property values described in the previous step are used, the control background color is now blue, and the font family is now Courier New.
