Question

If I have an explicit style defined like this:

<Style x:Key="MyButtonStyle1">...</Style>

And a Button control defined like this:

<Button x:Name="MyButton" Style="{StaticResource MyButtonStyle1}" />

Is it possible, at runtime, to extract the style name (i.e., “MyButtonStyle1”) from the button control?

Note: I don’t think looping through the ResourceDictionary will work because, in our app, it will have been cleared and reloaded by the time this code is run.

Answer 1

If you can’t leverage the ResourceDictionary then no; you will need the ResourceDictionary to obtain the x:Key.
