In this article a scrollbar gets a new look. There is a line in the style which appears to put the triangle in the scroll buttons. I don't know how to read it though.

Content="M 0 0 L 4 4 L 8 0 Z"/>

What does that mean in the context of the control?

Think I've solved it. There's a Windows.Shapes.Path in there. I assume these are Logo like instructions to the path. –  Ian Nov 20 '12 at 14:01

It's just the geometry for the Path Data. If you'd like to reproduce it just do something like <Path Data="YourPath"/>

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I figured out the M meant move, L was Line and Z was end. I had completely missed the fact there was a Path object in there I thought it was a Path= property if you see what I mean :) –  Ian Nov 21 '12 at 18:45
