The WindowsUI Button Panel is a button container which is painted in windows 10 flat style, windowsUIButtonPanel class is used to represent the panels.
To modify the properties of the button(s) in the panel, the edit button link could be invoked using the smart tag.
The property grid on the dialog's right allows you to modify appearance and behavior settings for any element added. For instance, you can utilize the Style property for a button to specify whether it should act as a regular push button or as a check button. See the image below.

Style = ButtonStyle.CheckButton,
ImageUri = "AlignLeft;Size16x16;GrayScaled",
GroupIndex = 1
};
WindowsUIButton checkBtn2 = new WindowsUIButton() {
Caption = "Center",
Style = ButtonStyle.CheckButton,
ImageUri = "AlignCenter;Size16x16;GrayScaled",
GroupIndex = 1
};
WindowsUIButton checkBtn3 = new WindowsUIButton() {
