How to apply styles to all windows in WPF app?
- by Brandon
I have the following App.xaml file:
<Application x:Class="MiniDeviceConfig.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="MiniDeviceConfig.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Button.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="CheckBox.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="ComboBox.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Common.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="GroupBox.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Label.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="LinkButton.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="ListBox.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="ListView.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="RadioButton.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Tooltip.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Window.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
In my application, my main window is MiniDeviceConfig.xaml (as seen above). In my Button.xaml file, I clearly set the button height to some obscene number. And, this size is reflected in my main window's buttons. However, some action on the main window triggers a modal window that has more buttons on it. I was expecting the same tall buttons but no such luck. How do I get the style to propagate into all windows in the application?
