I'm using the next namespace (http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/drawing).
I've two controls for the collout which use the same styles.
i want to write some reusable style for those two controls, but no success...
Any suggestions?
You can reuse styles, whether it's for callouts or any other control, by making them resources and referencing them later. For example:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ed="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/drawing"
x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow">
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="MyCalloutStyle" TargetType="ed:Callout">
<Setter Property="Fill" Value="Orange" />
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<ed:Callout Style="{StaticResource MyCalloutStyle}" />
<ed:Callout Style="{StaticResource MyCalloutStyle}" />
</Grid>
</Window>

I am having an issue while I want to apply a style (font size) to all my textbox, where ever they are.
I, of course found those links :
Apply an application-level style to all textboxes
How to target all controls (WPF Styles)
But this doesn't work for me.
The first one is still better because you don't need to use a key, and going to all your textbox.
I already have, in my app.xml, style applying to all controls (applying a color), so I tried something like this (even if this won't really be enough for me, since those styles are not everywhere) :
<Style x:Key="Type1Data" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FEE9E6"/>
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="50" />
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
And as I said, I tried this too, but won't work.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="50" />
</Style>
Any idea what is my probleme and how I can achieve what I want to?
All the hings I can find make me come back to the same code, and didn't found one that works.
edit : here is my current app.xaml
<Application x:Class="myApp.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:myApp"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TextBox"><!-- tried adding those 3 lines too-->
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="50"/>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="Type1Data" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="Type2Data" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White"/>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="Type3Data" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
</Style>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
As I said, the current styles does not cover the whole app (I add the key that is needed, or nothing)
edit : and if I add directly (as a second setter) font size to the Type 1,2 or 3, the font size apply. So it seems, there is no oter styles that are applying besides the 3 in app.xml.
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="50" />
Sample of code who should get a different textbox size(one with already a style, one without), they are in grid:
<com:ViewControl x:Class="myApp.View.ViewControl"

<TextBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Margin="2" Text="{Binding Data.Name}" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" />
edit : adding the code of the popup I use sometimes and works
<sf:RibbonWindow x:Class="namespace:myApp.Common.DetailViewWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

</sf:RibbonWindow>
How my usercontrol is added to the dock :
public void AddView(UserControl View, string sTitle, DockState docState)
{
int Width = 800;
int Height = 400;
DockingManager.SetHeader(View, sTitle);
DocumentContainer.SetMDIBounds(View, new Rect(30, 30, Width, Height));
DockingManager.SetState(View, docState);
DockingManager.SetShowCloseMenuItem(View, true);
DockingManager.SetDesiredWidthInDockedMode(View, Width);
DockManager.Children.Add(View);
ActivateView(View);
}
If I use the dock I do this before :
ApplicationContext.Current.AddView(View, DockState.Document);
ANd with a popup, almost the same :
DetailViewWindow dlg = new DetailViewWindow(View);
dlg.ShowDialog();
As, those two code are used with the same View (yes, exactly the same), then I guess the problem comes from the fact of adding the view in the dock, and not in a popup window.
Does the dock manager forces me to use a key?
Thank you for your help.
I can't reproduce your problem. I can just show you a working example. Maybe it's helping you finding your problem.

I too had no problem with the styling. But I typically break my stuff into separate dictionaries for different controls and derive from some of my own classes. I also define a style and assign a "x:Key" name to it. This is like saying I have a class with this key name and I want it to look like this. Then, once I get it working, I take the final class and say use your style based on the key defined... Having said that, Here is a stripped basic of the App.xaml
<Application.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TextBox" x:Key="STextBox">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="50"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="WingDings" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}" BasedOn="{StaticResource STextBox}" />
</Application.Resources>
I can define all sorts of things about my base-style "STextBox" (via the x:Key). But after, I set the style with a target BASED ON the style via x:Key. The critical thing I think you were missing is the target must be of {x:Type TextBox}.
If you look at the xmlns headers at the top such as
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
the "x=" is the alias of the library it is getting control types. By you generically declaring the
TargetType="TextBox"
You are not specifically associating to the CLASS TYPE.
Then in my main window (and anywhere else in the app), I have this in my main grid
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="80" />
<RowDefinition Height="80" />
<RowDefinition Height="80" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBox Grid.Row="0" Text="Testing" />
<TextBox Grid.Row="1" Text="Another Line" />
<TextBox Grid.Row="2" Text="Last" />
</Grid>
and they all work properly. You can also change default colors, size, font family, margins, etc to the base style and all will change without explicit reference to every control.
I've a TabControl with this structure:
<TabControl>
<TabControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TabItem" BasedOn="{StaticResource MetroTabItem}">
<Setter Property="Controls:ControlsHelper.HeaderFontSize" Value="20" />
</Style>
</TabControl.Resources>
<local:Analysis />
</TabControl>
Now I need to split each TabItem, so I've create something like a UserControl with this structure:
<TabItem xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:Controls="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/controls"
mc:Ignorable="d" Header="Analysis" Style="{StaticResource MetroTabItem}">
<Grid>
</Grid>
the problem's that the TabItem imported with namespace local: doesn't take the style of the TabControl in the Resource.
So for solve this I need to put the style resource in each TabItem, this will cause redundancy code.
How can I take the style of TabControl Resource in the splitted TabItem?
Thanks.
You can create your own style as a static resource in your App.xaml or your Window.xaml like this:
<Application.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TabItem" x:Key="MyTabItemStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource MetroTabItem}">
<Setter Property="Controls:ControlsHelper.HeaderFontSize" Value="20" />
</Style>
</Application.Resources>
You give your style a name (MyTabItemStyle in this example) which is based on the MetroTabItem style.
Then, instead of using the MetroTabItem style directly in your custom TabItem, you use your own style MyTabItemStyle like this:
<TabItem xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:Controls="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/controls"
mc:Ignorable="d" Header="Analysis" Style="{StaticResource MyTabItemStyle}">
<Grid>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
I want to set a default Margin of 3 on all the controls I put on all my windows and be able to override this value just on a really few number of items.
I've seen some approaches like doing styles but then I need to style everything, I would prefer something than can be done for all the controls together. I've seen other things like the MarginSetter but looks like it does not traverse subpanels. I want the Margin only on the controls I put at the window, nothing to do with the borders or other things of the visual tree.
Looks something pretty basic to me. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
The only solution I can find is to apply the style to each of the controls you are using on the window (I know that's not quite what you want). If you're only using a few different control types it's not too onerous to do something like this:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication7.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<!-- One style for each *type* of control on the window -->
<Style TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10"/>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10"/>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="TextBox"/>
<TextBlock Text="TextBlock"/>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Good luck...
You can link all of your Margin properties by referring to a "Thickness" defined in your resources. I just did this in a project...
<!-- somwhere in a resource-->
<Thickness x:Key="CommonMargin" Left="0" Right="14" Top="6" Bottom="0" />
<!-- Inside of a Style -->
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Control}" x:Key="MyStyle">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="{StaticResource CommonMargin}" />
</Style>
<!-- Then call the style in a control -->
<Button Style="{StaticResource MyStyle}" />
<!-- Or directly on a Control -->
<Button Margin="{StaticResource CommonMargin}" />
The key for me was figuring out that Margin was defined by "Thickness". Let me know if that's clear enough or if you need me to put it in a fully working XAML example.
You can apply margin in your buttons style. And when you use buttons with this style in StackPanel wpf will apply need spacing.
for example
define in resourcedictionary or whatever:
<Style x:Key="myButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="10"/>
....
</Style>
then in yor StackPanel xaml definition:
<StackPanel>
<Border BorderThickness="0"/>
<Button x:Name="VertBut1" Style="{StaticResource myButtonStyle}" Content="Button1"/>
<Button x:Name="VertBut2" Style="{StaticResource myButtonStyle}" Content="Button2"/>
<Button x:Name="VertBut3" Style="{StaticResource myButtonStyle}" Content="Button3"/>
</StackPanel>

Say I have a user control like this:
<UserControl x:Class="StyleTest.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d"
d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Row="0">Style please</Button>
<Button Grid.Row="1">Style please</Button>
</Grid>
And I want to set all buttons in this control to background=green.
But I don't want to affect other buttons in my program and I don't want to modify the code of the control.
What I found right now is this:
<Window x:Class="StyleTest.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:loc="clr-namespace:StyleTest"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="UserControlStyles" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="green" />
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Column="0">no Style please</Button>
<loc:UserControl1 Grid.Column="1">
<loc:UserControl1.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource UserControlStyles}" />
</loc:UserControl1.Resources>
</loc:UserControl1>
</Grid>
But this would imply that I have to add this code to every instance of the control, and some extra code, if I want to style e.g. foreground color of TextBoxes also.
What I am looking for is something similar to this:
<Style TargetType="Buttons that are childs of UserControl1">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="green" />
</Style>
Is there a way of doing this?
I don't think that a control template would be sufficient, because I don't want to redesign the whole control, I just want to set the color of the buttons.
In App.xaml you could add this style which will be applied to all instances of UserControl1
<Style TargetType="StyleTest:UserControl1" >
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="green" />
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
If I understand correctly, you just need to modify your UserControl so that you add the style there, instead of in the Window control
<UserControl x:Name=UserControl1 ...>
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="green" />
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
I just saw that you said you don't want to modify the control. You mean that you can't modify the xaml of the UserControl? Why not?
I have a custom control (from MS Toolkit - DatePicker). I've made my own style like this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:DatePicker}">
But this style does not apply automatically. I have to add Key:
<Style x:Key="DatePickerStyle" TargetType="{x:Type local:DatePicker}">
and reference it in each custom control like
<toolkit:DatePicker Style="{StaticResource DatePickerStyle}"
...
to get it working. Does anyone know why?
have you tried changing the TargetType to:
TargetType="{x:Type toolkit:DatePicker}">
You are referencing local in one place and toolkit in another.
update:
I've tried it in a small app. This is the xaml as it should work:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="WpfApplication3.Window1"
x:Name="Window"
Title="Window1"
Width="640" Height="480"
xmlns:Toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wpf/2008/toolkit">
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Toolkit:DatePicker}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FFFF0000"/>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Toolkit:DatePicker HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="61,143,0,116" Width="232" />
</Grid>
</Window>
This example should create a datepicker with a red background.
