Question

We have a general style in default.xaml, targeting all buttons in our application. Is there a way to override this style, and creating a new button based on the default button?

Answer 1

if you want to inherit any existing style use BasedOn

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}"   x:Key="RedTextBasedOnButton">  <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red" /> </Style>

this will inherit the default style and new foreground property will apply to the new style

hope this helps.
