Switching theme of main window at runtime

[Uwe Zimmermann]

I'm using RadWindow as main window of a wpf application. Switching theme of all other controls at runtime using implicit styling approach works great. But i can't switch theme of main window?!? Is there any way to get this working?

Hi Uwe,

In order to get the Style changing correctly of RadWindow used as MainWindow you would need to merge the following Style each time the theme is switched:

<Style TargetType="local:MainWindow" BasedOn="{StaticResource RadWindowStyle}" />

Or alternately you could set the Style property of the MainWindow the follow way:

Style="{DynamicResource RadWindowStyle}"

This way the MainWindow will be receiving the correct Style once the theme is switched.

Hope this helps.

Hi Kalin,

thanks for your answer.

Your second approach does not work (window will be transparent).

Merging the style (your first approach) i tryed before i started this thread, but eventually i did something wrong. Could you give me some code showing how to merge the style correctly?

Hi Uwe,

The approach with the DynamicResource should work as well. However I'm attaching a sample project, demonstrating the first approach I suggested you in my previous post.

Hope this helps.
