How to put WPF textbox style with triggers into windows resources - wpf

Question

I have the following WPF textbox with Style associated with it. Is there any way by which I can push the TextBox.Style into resources so it can be reused?
<TextBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding IpAddress, Mode=TwoWay}" ToolTip="Ip Address of camera">
<TextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="Camera Ip Address" Foreground="Gray" Opacity="0.5" FontStyle="Italic" />
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</TextBox.Style>
</TextBox>

Create a Resource Dictionary put your style in it and add it to App.xaml
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:metroChart="clr-
>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" >
<Style.Resources>
<VisualBrush x:Key="CueBannerBrush" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Center" Stretch="None">
<VisualBrush.Visual>
<Label Content="Camera Ip Address" Foreground="Gray" Opacity="0.5" FontStyle="Italic" />
</VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>
</Style.Resources>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Static sys:String.Empty}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="Text" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource CueBannerBrush}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
and in your App.xaml
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary Source="YourStyleDictionary.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
This will create a global style applied on all TextBoxes if you just want to use it for specific TextBoxes add a x:Key to your Style
