Urgent ! Themes at runtime

[Chitra Krishnan]

Hi Team,

Please let me know how to apply telerik themes at runtime.

This is what iam doing:

1. I added in the <UserControl.Resources> the below:

<

 

ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

 

 

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" x:Name="resourcedic"

 

 

xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls">

 

 

 

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

 

 

 

<ResourceDictionary

 

 

Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Office_Blue;Component/Themes/Office/Blue/Docking.xaml" />

 

 

 

<ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.Office_Blue;Component/Themes/Office/Blue/Button.xaml" />

 

 

 

</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

 

 

 

</ResourceDictionary>

 

 

 

</UserControl.Resources>

 

2. In .cs file iam doing the below to apply the them to the canvas inside the raddocpane:

ResourceDictionary dic = resourcedic;

if (dic.MergedDictionaries.Count != 0)

{

Uri uri = dic.MergedDictionaries[0].Source;

ImplicitStyleManager.SetResourceDictionaryUri(grdresult, uri);

ImplicitStyleManager.SetApplyMode(grdresult, ImplicitStylesApplyMode.Auto);

ImplicitStyleManager.Apply(grdresult);

 

}

But the themes are not applying.
Please let me know the steps to go about

Hi Chitra Krishnan,

In order to apply  the themes at runtime you have to set

telerik:StyleManager.Theme="{Binding SelectedValue, ElementName=Themes}"

on all controls how you are using. In the snippet above, ElementName is the x:Name of the control used to change the themes. Have a look at the attached sample project and let us know if you have any additional questions.
