Hi,
We are using version 2016.1.217.40 of the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input dll and whenever we create a custom style (via copy option in Expression Blend) it breaks the Calendar Panel.
When I say breaks, if you attempt to scroll through the months using the left or right buttons it doesn't refresh the days, i.e. the week numbers stay the same.
If we don't override the style it all works fine. Note, at this point we are not changing anything in the style, we are simply copying it as is.
This did work ok on the 2013.3.1016.40 version.
I have also tried the same on the 2016.3.914.40 version and it also does not work.
Is there anything extra that needs to be done to maintain the functionality when overriding the default styles?
Kind regards
Robin

The case you are describing is a known problem, which we have reported to Microsoft. The issue is logged here in our feedback portal where there is stated a proposed workaround/fix.
Or you can copy the style from the theme xaml directly rather than extract it through Blend.

Thanks Martin,
That has solved the issue perfectly.

The workaround posted doesn't work when you use the new Material theme (which also suffers the same bug).
I should note also, that this wasn't always a bug. Leaving those 3 attributes in worked fine in the 2013 version (I recently did an update from 2013-2016, which went surprisingly smooth)
We suggest when extracting and editing control templates and styles to copy them from the generated .xaml files that we provide in the ...\Themes.Implicit\WPF40\<theme>\Themes since the VS designer does not serialize all the properties as expected every time.
Furthermore, to make it work for the Material theme (if you extract it), you could add ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplateSelector}" to the ContentControl in the template(s) of the CalendarButton. I will update the proposed workaround in the feedback item.
