WPF/XAML - How to reference a static resource
Hi..
I have a custom button... the XAML is JUST
<Button x:Class=".BaseTypes.NoteBu
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Style="{StaticResource DefaultButton}">
</Button>
Along with code behind...
I get an error that the static resource cannot be found...
I've tried adding the Resource Dictionary like this.. but it doesn't work either
<Button x:Class="LandonIP.PWBReade
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Style="{StaticResource DefaultButton}">
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.Merged
<ResourceDictionary Source="/BaseTypes;compone
<ResourceDictionary </ResourceDictionary.Merge
</ResourceDictionary>
</Button>
How can I reference the static resource..? What's wrong with my XAML?
thx

Hi!
Like this
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.W
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Window.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="BlueBrush" Color="Blue" />
</Window.Resources>
<Grid Background="{StaticResourc
</Grid>
</Window>
I will check your sources
By that time try this
Thanks!

HI!
If you are using
Resources Dictionary then
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.Merged
<ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary1.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary2.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.Merge
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid Background="{StaticResourc
</Grid>
In this case the x:key=BlueBrush is in one of the resources you added above
Thanks!

I'm just calling... It's just a button not a window... a Window works fine
NewButton btn = New NewButton()
But it doesn't load the resource
<Button x:Class="LandonIP.PWBReade
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.Merged
<ResourceDictionary Source="/BaseTypes;compone
<ResourceDictionary </ResourceDictionary.Merge
</ResourceDictionary>
</Button>

How you are testing the Button?
I mean compile abd Test?
Is it is not the contained within some Window OR Usercontrol?

You can also reference any key in StyleResource.xaml

It is contained in a window.... I'm just adding my custom button in code to my window
MyButton btn = new Button...
I'm trying to apply the AERO theme to my button.. but it doesn't work.
MyButton btn = new Button...

This creates an instance of Button, but you then need to add it somewhere in your Window's control hierarchy.
The xaml:
<Button ...
... also creates an instance of a button, not the same one as any you may create in code
A static resource needs to be defined in xaml prior to its first use.

In the XAML of MyButton is a Resource Dict but it doesn't work.. What do I need to add to my MyButton XAML see above in my original question
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.Merged
<ResourceDictionary Source="/BaseTypes;compone
<ResourceDictionary </ResourceDictionary.Merge

Button.Resources did not work...
Add your resource entries to Windows.Resources as has been suggested.
Are you sure that there's a reource in there with the Key 'DefaultButton'?

I really don't understand what you're trying to do.
As I said before, the following code creates a button instance but doesn't add it to the Window
NoteButton btn = new NoteButton
... so it's not apparent what you expect of it.
The attached code shows the application of a style to a button and how all the pieces relate.

I have the NoteButton.cs and .xaml.
I have a helper class that adds the notebutton to a form.
When the Note is added the Aero theme is not applied to the NoteButton
public static Button GenerateANoteButton(Reader
{
NoteButton noteButton = new NoteButton(ref theNoteObject);
try
{
ic.Child = Notebook.NoteManagerHelper
Paragraph ph = new Paragraph() { TextAlignment = TextAlignment.Right };
ph.Inlines.Add(ic);

Ok.. That's starting to make sense... how do I then point the button to named resource in code or apply to the new button instance. It's just the default Aero
