  1. POWPF Theming: not applied to TextBox, why?
    text
    copied!<p>I must say I am quite new at WPF. I am building my first real application and I am facing some issues, at the moment with themes. This is the reason of my post.</p> <p>In order to use a theme, such as ExpressionDark.xaml, I thought it was sufficient to include it at an application level. Therefore, in my App.xaml I added:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Application.Resources&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="/Skins/ExpressionDark.xaml" /&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries&gt; &lt;myLib:Locator x:Key="Locator" /&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;/Application.Resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the first question: I am not sure I am doing the right thing. Is it right to include the ExpressionDark.xaml into my application, in the "skins" folder and to reference it in that way? somewhere else I found something like "System.Windows.Theming.ExpressionDark" etc. Would that be the correct approach?</p> <p>Anyway, by applying the theme with the above method, I can see almost all my controls being styled in a proper way; I say "almost all" because some of them, like DataGrids or TextBoxes, are not. I checked inside the ExpressionDark.xaml and I see there are styles defined for these components too. So why am I getting this strange behaviour?</p> <p>I hope I explained everything clearly enough. Let me know if it is not.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help you'll be able to provide.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>G.</p>
