In WPF you can inherit from implicit styles using BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}", will this work in Silverlight (I did implement a TypeExtension using the new markupextension.

Hi, cabronek,

You are totally right, a default stype with TargetType = "ButtonBase" won't apply to a Button control. It is my fault. Thanks for clarifing that inaccuracy.

Hi,

A default style with TargetType="ButtonBase" won't apply to a Button or any other control inheriting from ButtonBase, because, as far as I know, implicit styles are applied only to the exact type specified in the TargetType property. So if you want to have a common style for all types of buttons (Button, RadioButton, CheckBox), I'd suggest creating a style for ButtonBase with a key/name and with all required setters and then creating empty (without setters) implicit styles for every type of button with BasedOn set to the style for ButtonBase.

Hi Kevin

If you set the same property in the base and in the derived style, the value from the derived style will be applied.

What if based and derived both style having same property value?

Well, probably you can do that via procedural code. However i've never tried declaring styles in the code-behind. I prefer declaring styles in XAML.

Thank Mr. Ppopadiyn,

Can we do it in C# code?

Hi Kanthesha Murthy,

Unfortunately, you cannot specify more than one target type at once. However, what you can do is to set a base class for the TargetType. Thus, all controls that derives from that class will be affected. For example, the Button control derives from ButtonBase, and so does the RadioButton. So if you set: TargetType = "ButtonBase", that style will be applied to all controls that inherits ButtonBase. I hope you catched the idea. :)

Regards

Hi All

I am new to silverlightshow.net. I have a doubt I think I will get answer here

My doubt is can we assign same width to many different controls using only one style? ie. can we use more than one

TargetType values (TargetType="Button, TextBlock, ...") like this. so that If I change Width in one style it will affect all the controls Which I have listed in TargetType.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Theo#

I tried to use merged dictionaries and implicit styles, however without success. Obviously in this beta version of SL4, it doesn't work.

Hi, is this supposed to work with merged resource dictionaries as well? I mean define a resource dictionary, include a merged dictionary and add a style based on a style of the merged dictionary. I can't make it work...
