In my ResourceDictionary Resource_Color I have defined this row:
<Color x:Key="MainColor">Black</Color> Now, I want to use this MainColor in another resource file, for example Resource_DataGrid.
<Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource MainColor}" /> . . . In this mode doesn't work. How can I write this declaration ?
Use ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries
Window1.xaml
<Window x:Class="Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="Auto" Width="Auto"> <Window.Resources> <ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary2.xaml" /> </Window.Resources> <Grid> <TextBox Text="TESTING" FontWeight="Bold" Margin="30" /> </Grid> </Window> Dictionary1.xaml
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> <Color x:Key="MainColor">Blue</Color> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MainBrush" Color="{StaticResource MainColor}" /> </ResourceDictionary> Dictionary2.xaml
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary1.xaml" /> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <Style TargetType="TextBox"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource MainBrush}" /> </Style> </ResourceDictionary> Also, the Foreground property is usually a Brush, not a Color. My example shows it.
