I've written a user control with popup, who's content is being set outside the control. The ControlTemplate of that control looks like the following:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="local:InfoIcon">
<Grid>
<ToggleButton x:Name="HelpButton" Style="{StaticResource HelpButton}" />
<Popup PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=HelpButton}" Placement="Bottom"
IsOpen="{Binding ElementName=HelpButton, Path=IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}" StaysOpen="False">
<Border BorderBrush="#767676" BorderThickness="1"
Background="#f1f2f7">
<Border.Resources>
<!-- Important -->
<Style TargetType="Label">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#575757" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#575757" />
</Style>
<!-- /Important -->
</Border.Resources>
<ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding HelpContent}" />
</Border>
</Popup>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
The Important part - I want to assign custom styles to items, which are being put inside the popup (it serves as a clickable hint)
I'm using my control in the following way:
<local:MyControl>
<local:MyControl.HelpContent>
<TextBlock>Ala ma kota</TextBlock>
</local:MyControl.HelpContent>
</local:MyControl>
But despite styles in the Border, TextBlock's text's color always inherit the value from its parent (checked using Snoop) - resulting in white text on white background.
You can downlad the small PoC application, which demonstrates the problem.
My observations:
- The styling does work for
Label. It only doesn't work forTextBlock. - When I add
TextBlock.Foreground="Red"to the Border,TextBlockbecomes red, still ignoring style (but now using color from Border). - Snoop informs, that this
TextBlockactually has theStyleresolved correctly. But despite it shouldn't, it uses the inherited value instead of one specified in the style.
How can I solve this problem and why does it occur?
