Retemplating Lync 2010 Controls

Learn how to assign a new visual template to a Microsoft Lync 2010 Control to enable fine-grained control over layout and design. By using a new template, the Lync 2010 Control can be altered to match preexisting corporate or application styles.

To retemplate a control:

  1. Define a Style property targeting the control that you will modify in XAML.

  2. Set the Template property on the style to a new ControlTemplate instance that incorporates your design.

  3. Apply your new Style to the control.

To create a new ControlTemplate you should edit a copy of the existing template for the control that you customize. A simple way to get a copy of the existing template for a control is to use Microsoft Expression Blend 4.
