    I have several buttons in a toolbar in my VSIX Extension for which I want to have a single character as the content (for example, a button that just looks like an A or an @). Is there any way to do this without manually creating an image (like you do in XAML)? Thanks.

    Hi,

    Well, it confused me a little bit. You are trying to create a VSIX extension that could give a UWP project template, right? So your problem is that in the UWP project template you want to implement? If you need such a character button not a image button. I thing there are two ways. 

    • Create a custom control and use it as button.
    • You could use TextBlock and click event as button if you don't mind the TextBlock couldn't get focused.

    Best regard,

    Roy

    I think you misunderstood my question. My VSIX extension is not a project template, I am simply asking about the visual appearance of the toolbar buttons in my VSIX extension (the <Buttons> section of the *.vsct file), the question has nothing to do with UWP at all. If there is a way to use a TextBlock & Click event like you say, I would love it, but if there is, I don't know how to do it (there very well may be, since this is my first VSIX extension, so I wouldn't know). The most I have been able to figure out so far is how to modify the files created by Visual Studio (*.vsct & the *.png files in the Resources folder). Is there a different way to specify the appearance of the buttons (like the TextBlock you mention)?

    Hi,

    Since the problem is not related to UWP, I suggest that you might need to ask about this in VS's development forum.

    Best regards,
