Question

In WPF, Prism v4, I have a ToolBar which acts as a region. In this region I inject UserControls which contains buttons and separators for the toolbar.
The problem is that because the buttons now lives in a UserControl, the toolbar styles no longer applies.

I could solve this by defining the styles:

<Separator Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.SeparatorStyleKey}}"/>
<Button Style="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}}"/>

But I would like to avoid this because I got hundreds of buttons. So my question is if I can define styles for all buttons under the ToolBar from a resource dictionary?

Thank you!

You can use something like:

<Style TargetType="Separator" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.SeparatorStyleKey}}" />
<Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}}" />

If you put that in your ToolBar resources, then it will apply to any buttons inside it.
