Bind Path in ResourceDictionary's dependant on VM property

I've created a ResourceDictionary that defines a bunch of System.Windows.Shapes.Path that are used in the ContentPresenter of a Button ControlTemplate.

I'd like to change one of the Paths out based on a ViewModel property. If true the button uses one path from the ResourceDictionary, if false a different one.

Currently I just reference a StaticResource in the xaml to point directly to the path I want displayed.

What's the best way to do this?

You would have to modify the content template of the button in style by referring to the elements from you resource dictionary.

Something like this: <Button.Style> <Style TargetType="Button"> <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource cp2}"></Setter> <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"> <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource cp1}"></Setter> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </Button.Style>

I have used mouse over property as my trigger to change the content template. You can use DataTrigger instead of Trigger
