Default styles and templates of XAML controls for Windows Store Apps

In the early days of WPF and Silverlight, the only way you could get information about the default templates and styles of controls would be by opening Blend and editing a copy of the default style. Fortunately, this information is now documented on MSDN, however it is not always easy to find. In order to make it easier to lookup, I have made this list of all the MSDN articles about default styles and templates for Windows Store Apps controls:

• AppBar
• Button
• CheckBox
• ComboBox
• ComboBoxItem
• ContentControl
• FlipView
• FlipViewItem
• GridView
• GridViewItem
• GroupItem
• HyperlinkButton
• ListBox
• ListBoxItem
• ListView
• ListViewItem
• PasswordBox
• ProgressBar
• ProgressRing
• RadioButton
• RepeatButton
• RichEditBox
• ScrollBar
• ScrollViewer
• SemanticZoom
• Slider
• TextBox
• Thumb
• ToggleButton
• ToggleSwitch
• ToolTip

Note that you will also find those default styles and templates in the following file on your disk: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\WinRT\Xaml\Design\generic.xaml.
