Question

I want to use the same style for all Images and AutoGreyableImages (my custom control that inherits from Image). I have the following style declared application-wide:

<Style TargetType='{x:Type Image}'     x:Key='ImageType'>     <Setter Property='Stretch'             Value='Uniform' />     <Setter Property='Height'             Value='16' />     <Setter Property='Width'             Value='16' />     <Setter Property='SnapsToDevicePixels'             Value='True' /> </Style> 

But the AutoGreyableImages don’t accept the style. This doesn’t work either:

<Style TargetType='{x:Type my:AutoGreyableImage}'        BasedOn='{DynamicResource ImageType}' /> 

What is the correct way to do this?

Answer 1

You have to use a StaticResource reference in the dependent style.

Try this:

<Style TargetType='{x:Type my:AutoGreyableImage}'         BasedOn='{StaticResource ImageType}' />
