"" values in StandardStyles
windows-8, windows-runtime, winrt-xaml, xaml, xml
Solution
These are XML/hex-encoded Unicode characters in the Segoe UI font. Basically icons in form of typeface glyps. There is a "Styles Browser" app in the WinRT XAML Toolkit that shows all the icons, including the full set of 150 icons that Tim Heuer shared in his blog post.
Problem
Sorry for the confusing title, but I'm not sure what to call those. I'm talking about this: ``` <Style x:Key="SkipBackAppBarButtonStyle" TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource AppBarButtonStyle}"> <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.AutomationId" Value="SkipBackAppBarButton"/> <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="Skip Back"/> <Setter Property="Content" Value=""/> <!-- This one --> </Style> ``` There are several of those in StandardStyles.xaml, but I have no idea how it works, any idea? Thanks!
