Hi Telerik Team,

I have Implemented customized style of EditAppointmentDialogStyle for RadScheduleView.
Also I am changing Themes for my application , but the problem comes when I change the Theme, the style for appointment dialog get reset to Default for RadScheduleView.
below Code I am using

for Changing the app Themes :
<telerik:RadComboBox Name="Themes" Margin="7" Grid.Column="1" SelectedIndex="0"
                                         VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left" >
                        <telerik:MetroTheme />
                        <telerik:Office_BlackTheme />
                        <telerik:Office_BlueTheme />
                        <telerik:Office_SilverTheme />
                        <telerik:SummerTheme />
                        <telerik:VistaTheme />
                        <telerik:Windows7Theme />
                        <telerik:TransparentTheme />
                        <telerik:Expression_DarkTheme />
                    </telerik:RadComboBox>

EditAppointmentTemplate :

<ControlTemplate x:Key="EditAppointmentTemplate" TargetType="telerik:SchedulerDialog">
          <Grid x:Name="grid">
              <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                  <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                  <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                  <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                  <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                  <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                  <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
              </Grid.RowDefinitions>
               
              <telerik:RadToolBar x:Name="AppointmentToolbar" GripVisibility="Collapsed" Margin="-1 -1 -1 3" Grid.Row="0" >
                  <TextBlock x:Name="ShowAs" Foreground="{StaticResource RadScheduleForeground}" Margin="1 0 1 1" telerik:LocalizationManager.ResourceKey="ShowAs"

Hello Shrikant,

Since 2012 Q1 SP1 significant changes have been made on our theming mechanism and improved support for implicit styles was introduced. You can learn more here.

Theoretically, for switching themes at runtime you can add or remove merged dictionaries to your application resources in the code behind. Use the structure and files explained in the article.
