Hello,

Hello Todor,

Here is the syntax of the Telerik Resource dictionary:

<telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="[uri to a xaml file, containing standard ResourceDictionary]" Keys="[comma separated list of all keys that should be copied from the Source]" />

To apply a Telerik ResourceDictionary you need to do one of the two options below:
1) Set the attached property telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries on a ResourceDictionary:
<ResourceDictionary xmlns=... xmlns:x=... xmlns:telerik=...>
    <telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
    <telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>

2) Set the attached property on a FrameworkElement to merge the source dictionary with the Resources property of the target element:
<StackPanel>
    <telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
    <telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</StackPanel>

Note that the source resources will not overwrite the target resources with the same keys, and also visual studio and blend show errors when the attached property is set multiple times, but there are no problems in runtime.

Thanks Valeri, works like a charm :)

Hi

Setting the attached property telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries on a ResourceDictionary like you mention is not working in the Q3.
When I try to write telerik:ResourceDictionary, I cannot find the ResourceDictionary property.
I search through the Object Browser on the Telerik.Window.Controls, it do not have the ResourceDictionary in the libraries.

Am I missing anything or the Q3 have remove this property. How can I solve this if I want to do something like this:
<ResourceDictionary xmlns=... xmlns:x=... xmlns:telerik=...>
    <telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
        <telerik:ResourceDictionary Source="..." Keys="..." />
    <telerik:ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>

Hi Cheng Lim Sek,

Just remove the telerik: and Keys="...".
Silverlight 3 supports MergedDictionaries so there is no need to use Telerik.MergedDictionaries anymore. They were marked as obsolete in Q2 (or Q2.SP1).

Kind regards,
