Templates and inheritance - wpf

Question

I have a big problem.
I use additional controls for Wpf. One of them is Telerik RadWindow
This control is already templated.
Now I want to create custom Window with will inherit from RadWindow, and make custom template, eg. One base window will contains grid and two buttons, second base window will contain two grids (master - detail).
The problem is that templates do not support inheritance. Perhaps is another way to template only the content of Winodow?
My code, that doesn't work (empty window appears, so template doesn't apply)
<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:TBaseRjWindow}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:TBaseRjContent}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
<Grid Name="mGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition MaxHeight="40" MinHeight="30" />
<RowDefinition MaxHeight="40" MinHeight="30" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition MaxHeight="40" MinHeight="30" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<telerik:RadGridView Margin="10,10,10,10" Name="grid" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ScrollMode="Deferred" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="Auto" >
</telerik:RadGridView>
<telerik:RadDataPager Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"
x:Name="radDataPager"
PageSize="50"
AutoEllipsisMode="None"
DisplayMode="First, Previous, Next, Text"
Margin="10,0,10,0"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Margin="5 5 5 5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Orientation="Horizontal" Height="20" Width="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<telerik:RadButton x:Name="btAdd" Margin="5 0 5 0" Content="Dodaj" />
<telerik:RadButton x:Name="btEdit" Margin="5 0 5 0" Content="Edytuj" />
<telerik:RadButton x:Name="btDelete" Margin="5 0 5 0" Content="Usun" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Name="addFields" Background="LightGray" Visibility="Collapsed" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" Orientation="Horizontal">
<GroupBox Header="Szczegoly" Margin="2 2 2 2" >
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Top" DataContext="{Binding SelectedItem, ElementName=grid}" Name="_gAddFields" Margin="0 0 0 0" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" >
</Grid>
</GroupBox>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Margin="5 5 5 5" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Orientation="Horizontal" Height="25" Width="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<telerik:RadButton x:Name="btSave" IsDefault="True" Width="60" Margin="5 0 5 0" Content="Zapisz" />
<telerik:RadButton x:Name="btOK" IsDefault="True" Width="60" Margin="5 0 5 0" Content="Akceptuj" />
<telerik:RadButton x:Name="btCancel" IsCancel="True" Width="60" Margin="5 0 5 0" Content="Anuluj" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

You could use the ContentTemplate for the Window. It is a DataTemplate that will be used to display the Content set on the Window.
