Restyling a Lync Control

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

To restyle a ContactList control

  1. Create a Microsoft Lync Controls application using the Microsoft Silverlight or Microsoft WPF template.

    For more information, see How to: Create a Silverlight page that displays a Lync presence control.

  2. In the XAML pane, add the XAML text to create a ContactList control.

  3. 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>

  4. 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.
