    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>
