SV: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Styling multi content buttons in WPF

Thank you James - at first look, it appears to do what I want.

I'll dive a bit more into this method and try to apply it where I'm
experimenting with it now.

Med venlig hilsen / Best regards

you could bind the controls that you want to change to the buttons
foreground property using a relative source
I have included an example below, watch out for wrapping.
There are 2 methods in the example.  Setting the property binding
using the style does not work for the disabled foreground color, but
setting the binding on the control itself does,
