Applying themes to standard controls via TargetType

[Andy]

Hi,

I have just bought the Silverlight control suit and I am looking at theming. As you don't have a simple text box I will need to use the standard one. In order to apply the theme to the standard controls I do something like this

<TextBox telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Metro"

This works but it means I have to set the value everything I use the text box. Is there any way to use style setters something like this

<Style TargetType="TextBox">
    <Setter Property="Style" Value="telerik:StyleManager.Theme.Metro"></Setter>
</Style>

If I use this VS is not impressed with me!

Hi Andy,

 

The signature is a bit different - you should mark this style as based on any Telerik theme as shown below:

<Style TargetType="TextBox" telerik:StyleManager.BasedOn="Metro">
  ......
</Style>

Best wishes,

Thank you very much
