    text
    copied!<p>I am encountering a very weird issue. I am trying to apply global styling to several controls within a <code>DataGrid</code>. Most of them work exactly how I would expect them to. However, the styling for the <code>TextBlock</code> never gets applied. Styles for <code>ComboBox</code>, <code>TextBox</code>, <code>Label</code>, and several others all are getting applied to their respective controls, but not the <code>TextBlock</code>. I have simplified the code as much as possible and the issue is still present. I have provided the code sample below.</p> <p>I need the style to be applied to the <code>TextBlock</code> and I don't want to have to apply it manually to the <code>TextBlock</code>.</p> <pre><code>&lt;DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" AutoGenerateColumns="False"&gt; &lt;DataGrid.Resources&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="TextBlock"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="ANY_TEXTBLOCK_PROPERTY" Value="VALUE" /&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/DataGrid.Resources&gt; &lt;DataGrid.Columns&gt; &lt;DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Test"&gt; &lt;DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="Globably Applied" /&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;/DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate&gt; &lt;/DataGridTemplateColumn&gt; &lt;/DataGrid.Columns&gt; &lt;/DataGrid&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>More Information:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Global styles for any control other than <code>TextBlock</code> (<code>TextBox</code>, <code>ComboBox</code>, etc.) work properly.</li> <li>Defining the global style inside the <code>DataTemplate</code> will work properly.</li> <li>Directly assigning the style to the <code>TextBlock</code> using an <code>x:Key</code> will work.</li> <li>Global styles for <code>DataGridCell</code> using <code>TextElement.PROPERTY</code> will get applied to a <code>TextBlock</code>.</li> </ul> <p>While some of these will get the style applied to the <code>TextBlock</code>, they have there own issues. Directly assigning the style or defining the style somewhere within a <code>DataGridColumn</code> will mean that I will have to apply the style more than once. Using the <code>TextElement.PROPERTY</code> on the <code>DataGridCell</code> will apply the style to more than just <code>TextBlock</code> controls and will limit the number of properties that you can set.</p>
