First off, big fan of the Telerik Silverlight controls so far. Infragistics is garbage...and had to deal with them already.
I'm struggling to style the whole set of Silverlight controls. I'm successful referencing the 3, built-in theme DLLs (used the Vista theme, specifically), yet I'm trying to reference a theme by XAML only.
My attempts so far have included:
- Grabbing the XAML of all the controls from the Telerik installation and attempting to reference them (where's the main "Theme" XAML file?)
- Using the Silverlight Toolkits ImplicitStyleManager to apply a "Theme" file that I built that references all the resources dictionaries provided in XAML by the Telerik XAML theme
- Using the Telerik Theme objects, etc. to apply the XAML Vista theme
My application is a simple Silverlight LOB app..with a Docking control, a left-side...resizable nav pane...and a right-side content pane. I'm using Telerik grids, combos, Microsoft textboxes/radiobuttons, etc. The Telerik "Vista" theme appears to style the MS controls as well...and I'm excited by that.
I'm doing all this because the Vista Telerik theme is close but not complete for what my client wants. I'd like to reference a Theme XAML file from my project and have all the other independent control XAML files there to easily update.
Long-time dev here...and Silverlight and WPF are pretty slick so far. Thanks for making it cooler with dependable UI controls.
Thanks!
