how to dynamically shift different themes with easy-to-use a few lines(even one single) of code?

JustinJosefAngel Oct 30 2008 at 2:21 AM

unruledboy, We do not support changing themes at run-time as this is not an ability supported by the Silverlight framework.

I added the dark theme and get the following error at run time. "Invalid attribute value input:ButtonSpinner for property TargetType. [Line: 1 Position: 220]" Any ideas? I would really like to use your themes.

quattro, please see this question on our forums: http://silverlight.net/forums/p/44399/124151.aspx

The ListBox control does not work with the Rainier template if you specify the ListBoxItems directly in the xaml. It does work when databinding.

I have tried using a theme wired up in my XAML. While it runs fine the browser, in the development environment I get the message AG_E_PARSER_BAD_PROPERTY_VALUE on the line:

t:ImplicitStyleManager.ResourceDictionaryUri="Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Theming.RainierOrange.xaml"

How can I prevent this?

Folks, please post questions to the Silverlight forums - http://silverlight.net/forums/35.aspx

It seem to be there is no styling for the TabControl included! Right?

bitdisaster, please post questions to the Silverlight forums - http://silverlight.net/forums/35.aspx.

Wanted to know if you can apply theming using x:Key in the Theme.xaml and then use the Style property on a control e.g StaticResource MyBigRedButtonStyle.

Thanks.
