WinRT How to make Logout appbar style?

Question

I want to have a logout icon in the appbar. I was sure it should be in the common styles, but discovered that unfortunately it's not.

So, how can I do it?

Answer 1

I've found this site, where I found the icon I wanted to the logout button, and copied the xaml which gave me the path. Next I added this code to the common:

<Style x:Key="LogoutAppBarButtonStyle" TargetType="ButtonBase" BasedOn="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle}">
    <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.AutomationId" Value="LogoutAppBarButton" />
    <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="Logout" />
    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
        <Setter.Value>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Grid>
                    <Viewbox RenderTransformOrigin="0.47,0.47">
                        <Viewbox.RenderTransform>
                            <TransformGroup>
                                <CompositeTransform Rotation="0" ScaleX="0.551720260135184" ScaleY="0.551720260135184" />
                            </TransformGroup>
                        </Viewbox.RenderTransform>
                        <Path Stretch="Uniform"
                              Fill="{Binding Path=Foreground, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}"

It is important to pay attention to the Path's Fill property, it can't be white color, because when we press on it and hold it, the default appbar icons become white, so the color should be changed to black, and therefore, we use this code which get's the foreground color from the parent - AppBarButtonStyle, which already has this logic on appbar icon pressed. This is the code:

Fill="{Binding Path=Foreground, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}"

One more thing, I have used some renders because the image was a little bit crooked, so I have fixed it by rendering it, maybe not the best way, but now it works perfectly !

The last step was to add this to all the pages I wanted to use the login appbar icon:

<Button Style="{StaticResource LogoutAppBarButtonStyle}" Click="Logout_Click" />
