  1. POSilverlight - Removing implicit styles from a section
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using <a href="http://silverlight.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">Silverlight toolkit</a> to set the styling for my whole application. Now I need to remove the implicit styling from a specific section, so that it doesn't interfere with other styling in that section.</p> <p>Basically I want to do something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;theme:BureauBlackTheme&gt; &lt;StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot"&gt; &lt;StackPanel&gt;&lt;!-- Use the standard Bureau Black theme here --&gt;&lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;StackPanel&gt;&lt;!-- I don't want any implicit styling on this section --&gt;&lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/theme:BureauBlackTheme&gt; </code></pre> <p>Looking at the source code of the Silverlight toolkit, I found that themes are applied by merging resource dictionaries:</p> <pre><code>... // Load the theme ResourceDictionary resources = null; using (stream) { resources = ResourceParser.Parse(stream, true); owner.MergedDictionaries.Add(resources); } ... </code></pre> <p>Where the theme files contain a bunch of implicit styles:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!--ScrollBar--&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="ScrollBar"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="17" /&gt; ... </code></pre> <p>Therefore, I need a way to remove all the implicit styles from a specific section, but only from that section. The reason I need this, is because these styles are interfering with the styling of a third party control (I think this has to do with the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc265148%28v=vs.95%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">precedence of the control styles</a>).</p> <p>Is this possible in Silverlight 4? Workarounds are welcome too.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
