Property Value

Type: System..::.Object
The default value is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). See also the Exceptions section.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	Only load-time MarkupExtensions are supported.
ArgumentException	Expressions such as bindings are not supported.
InvalidOperationException	After a Trigger is in use, it cannot be modified.

Remarks

This value is compared with the property value returned by the Property property of the Trigger. The comparison that is performed is a reference quality check. If the two values are equal, then the associated Setters apply the specified property values.

Note that you must specify both the Property and Value properties on a Trigger for the trigger to be meaningful. Therefore, if one or both of the properties are not specified, then an exception is thrown.

Examples

The following example contains two triggers. The first changes the Background property of a Button when the IsMouseOver property is true. The second changes the Foreground property of a button when the IsPressed property is true.

<Style x:Key="Triggers" TargetType="Button">
    <Style.Triggers>
    <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="true">
        <Setter Property = "Foreground" Value="Green"/>
    </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>
