Alert/Confirm/Prompt not styling Buttons

[Johannes]

I have a usual UserControl with a button. I just want so show a RadWindow.Alert. Here's the Code behind:

public partial class TestView
{
    public TestView()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void TestButton_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        RadWindow.Alert(new DialogParameters
            {
                Content = "Test",
                ContentStyle = Resources["RadAlertStyle"] as Style,
                WindowStyle = Resources["RadWindowStyle"] as Style
            });
    }
}

This is done as shown in the WPF demos but in my case the buttons on the RadWindow.Alert dialog are not styled. I use Telerik Windows 8 theme. All RadButtons are style correctly in Windows 8 style but not on any of my RadWindow dialogs. What am I missing? Please see attached image.

Hello Johannes,

Unfortunately, you do not provide enough information in order for me to investigate the issue. However, we have a full tutorial available on how to accomplish it. This article in the documentation will take you step-by-through styling the RadWindow.

I've tried to run through the tutorial but when copying the template of a RadDataForm I just get an error and Blend only creates an unfinished RadWindow template. However I found out what caused the problem: I had all Windows 8 theme resources inside my TestView.xaml (UserControl.Resources) and now I've moved them to App.xaml (Application.Resources). Now buttons on all RadWindows get also styled in Windows 8 style. So it seems that the Telerik theme resources have to be in App.xaml to be reachable from RadWindow.

Of course I meant RadWindow.

Hi Johannes,

Indeed any styles targeting RadWindow should be placed in App.xaml as the shown RadWindow it is not located in the same visual tree as the MainWindow for example.

Hope this helps.
