Overriding a single property

[John]

Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to override a single property of the telerik themes.

For instance, if I use Telerik:StyleManager.Theme to apply the Office_Black theme to all textbox controls can I override the VerticalAlignment property to make it "Top"? I tried to override just that one property both in a resource and locally in the xaml on the control itself and neither one worked.

I've read a few things that say that you cannot override just one property in a theme applied to controls.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

 
You may create an implicit style based on any Telerik theme following the pattern below:

<Style TargetType="TextBox"
           BasedOn="{StaticResource {telerik:ThemeResourceKey ThemeType=telerik:Office_BlackTheme, ElementType=TextBox}}" >
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
</Style>

Using this code you will override the default background for the TextBox control in our Office_Black theme.
