Custom Style changes other non-telerik controls properties

[Marcelo]

Hi,

I created a RadBusyIndicator style with blend and put the syle in a default.xaml. I have to mention that I put the foreground text of the busycontent to white because i think this is messing with other non-telerik controls, like a normal textblock.

The telerik controls like datepicker are doing fine, but textblocks, the headers from tabcontrol, the textbox of the normal datepicker, labels...all of that have the foreground changed to white.

If i delete the  RadBusyIndicator style, they all get back his normal foreground color(black).

Why is this messing with non-telerik controls? The busycontent of the toolkit busyindicator changed to white too...

Sure I can set a style to all controls and change the foreground to black and it solves my problem but i think this is not how it supposed to be

I'm starting to be very worried about telerik controls :(... I need help about this issue

Thank you

Hi, Maria

I forgot to mention that this project is using the PRISM4 MVVM model and has a defaultCatalog.xaml that loads the different modules

Each view loads a default.xaml theme which has the busyindicator style

<UserControl.Resources>

        <ResourceDictionary>

            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

                <ResourceDictionary Source="/AnotherProjectModule.Client;component/Themes/Default.xaml"  x:Name="resDict"/>

            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<StringResources:LocalizedStrings  x:Key="StringResources"/>
</ResourceDictionary>

Meanwhile I'll try to make a standalone solution. the default.xaml has this style for the busyindicator:

I think I detected what was the problem...it was when I edited the template with blend...

in blend I put the foreground text to white and maybe because i may have made some mistake in editing the templates, the foreground property was declared in another ContentControl.

<ContentControl x:Name="Content" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" IsTabStop="False" IsEnabled="False" VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Foreground="White"/>

deleting this property made all non-telerik controls' Foreground color back to original...

I still don't know how this can interfere with non-telerik controls, but the truth is I solved my problem in particular.
