WPF Style Question

[Kevin Marois]

I am creating a user control. I will be using this user control in a few different apps. Once it's done I'll include its assembly in my project, reference it, and use it in my XAML somewhere. Pretty standard. The question is... How do I apply a different set of styles to it based on the app I'm in? Thanks

The simplest way to achieve this is to have application level themes. In other words, in App A - you would set the styles for your control to be the ones you want in App A; in App B you set the styles for the control based on the ones you want in App B, and so on. Make sure you have a default theme for your control in place as well.

Ok, so create a theme. Isn't a theme just a collection of styles?

Yes.

Hi Kevin, Sorry for late reply to your post. 1.You can create a seperate styles for appA, Appb... and apply the theme accordingly as a staticresource. 2.Suppose in same application you want different theme based on some action then just use the above mentioned idea and apply themes using Dynamicresource. Thanks.
