I created a class library which is contained of WPF Windows and some user controls inherited from my c# classes that helps me to customize certain wpf controls.
Now I want to add ResourceDictionary, to help me share styles between my wpf classes. Is it possible?
Thx.
EDIT: resource dictionary file located in MY.WpfPresentation.Main project (named Styles.xaml):
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:dxg="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/grid"
xmlns:dxgt="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/grid/themekeys"
xmlns:MYNetMisc="clr-namespace:MY.Net.Misc;assembly=MY.Net"
>
<Style x:Key="customRowStyle" BasedOn="{StaticResource {dxgt:GridRowThemeKey ResourceKey=RowStyle}}" TargetType="{x:Type dxg:GridRowContent}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{Binding Path=DataContext.balance, Converter={MYNetMisc:BalanceToColor OnlyNegative=false}}" />
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
using it:
<MYNetPresentation:frmDockBase.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary x:Key="style">
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MY.WpfPresentation.Main;component/Styles.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
<DataTemplate x:Key="TabTemplate">
<dxlc:LayoutControl Padding="0" ScrollBars="None" Background="Transparent">
<Image Source="/Images/Icons/table-32x32.png" Width="12" Height="12" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</dxlc:LayoutControl>
</DataTemplate>
</MYNetPresentation:frmDockBase.Resources>
create a resource dictionary like this one
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<!-- Common base theme -->
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Another.AssemblyName;component/YourResDictionaryFolder/OtherStyles.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Another.AssemblyName;component/YourResDictionaryFolder/AnotherStyles.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
<!-- store here your styles -->
</ResourceDictionary>
and you can put it where you want
<Window x:Class="DragMoveForms.Window2"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window2"
Height="300"
Width="300">
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Your.Base.AssemblyName;component/YourResDictionaryFolder/Dictionary1.xaml" />
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
</Grid>
</Window>
