Inheriting style bindings
posted

Hi,

   In the SL3 grid that I use, I can bind the FontSize, FontFamily, FontStyle, FontWeight and the values are nicely propagated down to the cell.

   In the XamWebGrid the values aren't propagated. I could set the values as StaticResources and then bind them in each TextBlock but that's quite a lot of work and bother. I see there's a FontSize property in the CellControl style. Is it possible to tell it to get its value from its parent (the XamWebGrid)?

 

Cheers.

    I found a way of achieving this by hooking up on the Loaded event and doing the following:

            private void OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
            {
                var cellControlStyle = new Style(typeof(CellControl));
                if (CellStyle != null)
                {
                    cellControlStyle.BasedOn = CellStyle;
                }

                cellControlStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(CellControl.FontFamilyProperty, FontFamily));
                cellControlStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(CellControl.FontSizeProperty, FontSize));
                cellControlStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(CellControl.FontStyleProperty, FontStyle));
                cellControlStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(CellControl.FontWeightProperty, FontWeight));

                CellStyle = cellControlStyle;
            }

     

    Works OK.
