[Solved] Setting theme in styles

[Deven]

Hi,

I am using GridView with the office theme. However, I am not using the same theme for other controls. I am using styles for all the controls.  Is there a way I can set the theme in the Style, instead of inline with the control?

Thanks
Deven

Hi Deven,

There is no problem to set a theme in Style Setter that is targeted at particular control,supported by that theme.I have created an example for you that demonstrates this approach using RadGridView and RadDateTimePicker,that are styled in our Transparent Theme. 
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

All the best,

Hi,
Sorry for delay in my reply. I tried this but it is this not working in Silverlight 3. The difference I found is that your xaml references to Telerik Presentation, where as my xaml refers to Telerik Controls. Is that causing a problem?

Thanks

Hi Deven,

In Silverlight 3 you should follow the markup below:

<UserControl
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls; assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
    xmlns:telerikGridView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView"
    x:Class="StyleManagerInStyle.MainPage"
    Width="640" Height="480">
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style x:Key="style1" TargetType="telerikGridView:RadGridView">
        <Setter Property="telerik:StyleManager.Theme" Value="Vista"/>
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <telerikGridView:RadGridView Style="{StaticResource style1}"  Margin="48,56,40,176"/>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>
