Does this skill help with interactive UI states like hover or click?

Yes, it covers ControlTemplate.Triggers, including property triggers for states like IsMouseOver and EventTriggers for initiating animations via Storyboards.

What is the difference between Style and ControlTemplate in WPF?

A Style is used to set a collection of property values in bulk, while a ControlTemplate allows you to completely redefine the visual tree and appearance of a control inherited from the Control class.

What is the purpose of the PART_ naming convention in WPF templates?

The PART_ prefix identifies specific elements within a template that the C# code-behind needs to find and interact with programmatically, typically within the OnApplyTemplate method.

When should I use TemplateBinding instead of standard Binding?

Use TemplateBinding for one-way data flow between the template and the control properties at compile-time for better performance. Use RelativeSource TemplatedParent only when you need two-way binding or ValueConverters.
