XAML code without resources and templates possible?

Question

I found an example (the first one) for a slider, which defines also a track with thumb.

Is it possible to recode it without resources and templates?

Thank you for your comments.

I have done it.

Here the XAML code without template and style references for the slider with track and thumb

        <Slider x:Name="slidExample" 
        VerticalAlignment="Center" TickFrequency="37.5"
        Minimum="0" Maximum="600" Value="500" Width="300" Margin="50,0,50,0"
        SnapsToDevicePixels="true"
        OverridesDefaultStyle="true"
        IsTabStop="false"
        Focusable="false"
        >
        <Slider.Style>
            <Style TargetType="Slider">
                <Style.Triggers>
                    <Trigger  Property="Orientation"  Value="Horizontal">
                        <Setter Property="MinHeight" Value="21" />
                        <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="104" />
                    </Trigger>
                </Style.Triggers>
            </Style>
        </Slider.Style>

        <Slider.Template>
            <ControlTemplate>
                <Grid x:Name="GridOfslidExample">

                        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" MinHeight="{TemplateBinding MinHeight}" />
                        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    </Slider>

Answer 2

I think I have fixed it. The reason of missings commands of RepeatButton was the textfield in thumb. Its name in the new source is "DisplaysValueInThumb". I had to add a converter, because the value of the slider produce many decimal places, which hide the touch area of the repeat button.

Because I was unable to format the source correctly you find the source here.
