    <p>In WPF is there container like an HTML div (where this is easy), where I could target all textblocks within that container? So I do not have to <strong>specify the style</strong> on every textblock?</p> <p>I have a complex canvas and in just a region I would like to target the textblocks.</p> <p>Something to the effect of this (where something other than StackPanel that would work as a style targeting container):</p> <pre><code> &lt;StackPanel&gt; &lt;StackPanel.Resources&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"&gt;&lt;/Setter&gt; &lt;Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Arial"&gt;&lt;/Setter&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/StackPanel.Resources&gt; &lt;TextBlock Canvas.Left="87" Canvas.Top="210"&gt; mytext1 &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;TextBlock Canvas.Left="87" Canvas.Top="232"&gt; mytext2 &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;TextBlock Canvas.Left="87" Canvas.Top="254"&gt; mytext2 &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; </code></pre> <p>So if I try a grid the canvas coordinates get ignored and my textblock appears at the top of the canvas.</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"&gt; &lt;Canvas Width="500" Height="500"&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="TextBlock"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"&gt;&lt;/Setter&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/Grid.Resources&gt; &lt;TextBlock Text="MyTextBlock1" Canvas.Left="300" Canvas.Top="300"&gt; &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/Canvas&gt; </code></pre> <p></p>

    1. COYou mean other than just using Grid?

    2. COIt's unclear exactly why you can't just do what you've done in your first example. As for the problem with using the `Grid`, you'll need to move the `Canvas` attached properties onto the `Grid` rather than the `TextBlock`, since the `Canvas` is only going to look for these properties in its immediate children.

    3. COCan you provide some more information on what you are trying to achieve? Usually I would use a `StyleSelector` to achieve this but there is currently no way of telling which TextBlocks to apply the style too without setting an attached property (so you may as well just apply the style directly E.G. Style={StaticResource myStyle}). I have a feeling `ItemsControl` will be useful here but will need to know more about your requirements. Also a diagram of your required layout would be good.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
