Custom ReadOnlyProperty【PluraSight】

Limited functionality:

• Not settable
• No data binding
• No validation
• No animation
• No Inheritance

When to use?

• Used for state determination(Defined the style for the control, some visiable property like fore/background will change when mouse movehover)
• Used as a property trigger(由这个readonly property change，来change control's states)

要求： 我们有一个button，和一个read-only property来track button is been clicked的状态，如果被clicked的话，这个property变为true，我们change button的background
