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:
Define a Style property targeting the control that you will modify in XAML.
Set the Template property on the style to a new ControlTemplate instance that incorporates your design.
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.
