Styling not applied to ToolWindow

[Or]

Our app doesn't start from a C# application but rather for a C++ app, which means all our WPF code runs from dlls.

That means we can't have an App.xaml file so all the resource dictionaries are declared wherever they're needed.

 

When floating a pane, it crates a ToolWindow but the styling is never applied to it, probably because there's no App.xaml.

How can we apply the styling?

Hello,

A suggestion might be to attach a listener to the RadDocking.ToolWindowCreated event and set a style to the ToolWindow directly. You can get the style from the docking resource dictionary when you need it by key - it should be named ToolWindowStyle.

Please, get back to us whether this would be suitable for your case and if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us further.

I ended up doing this:

private void DockingManager_OnToolWindowCreated(object sender, ElementCreatedEventArgs e)
{

    (e.CreatedElement as FrameworkElement)?.Resources.MergedDictionaries.AddRange(Resources.MergedDictionaries);
}

 

I don't like it, but it works.
