Working with Resources in WPF - wpf

Question

I am wanting to use the example from
http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/tomershamam/archive/2008/09/22/lt-howto-gt-replace-listview-columns-with-rows-lt-howto-gt.aspx
However I don't want to put this into the App.xaml code as this will apply to ALL gridviews, how do I apply this example to a select few gridviews in the application? The Resources look like this

I have tried creating a usercontrol and sticking that lot in the UserControl.Resources section but it didn't work, I can only get this example to work if i put them into the Application.Resources section which i obviously don't want. Help!! :-)

Answer 1

I think there's an error in your code.
I just copied it to use in a test project and got an error:
StaticResource reference 'GridViewColumnHeaderGripper' was not found.
on:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type GridViewColumnHeader}">

Answer 2

However I don't want to put this into the App.xaml code as this will apply to ALL gridviews, how do I apply this example to a select few gridviews in the application?
Just change the key of the style to be something other than GridView.GridViewScrollViewerStyleKey. Choose a custom key, and set the style explicity on controls that need it (using {StaticResource styleKey})
