I first want to apologize for that this forum is probably not the ideal place for this message, but I could not find more appropriate one.
I'm currently developing my fist WPF application and I am using the Infragistics WPF components. The application uses the Infragistics ribbons, tabs and lots of tables. For those components I use the Office2k7Blue theme and the application so far looks pretty nice.
Now I'm beginning to implement detail dialogs which e.g. pop up when a row of a table is clicked. And these dialogs at the moment look downright ugly because I did not find a way to use the theme (which I used for the main window.)I would like to have a consistent look in the main window and all dialogs and therefore would like to use the theme or it's styles in the dialogs. How can this be done?
Currently the Themes/Styles that we provide are only targeting our classes so you would have to create custom styles for any other classes that you use so you should try to use our controls wherever possible (e.g. XamTextEditor instead of using a TextBox). You can also use the styles that we provide (included in the DefaultStyles directory) as a basis for creating Styles for the intrinsic wpf controls. You may want to submit a suggestion for including styles that target the intrinsic WPF controls.
Hi Andrew
Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately there are, as far as I have seen, not for all simple WPF controls corresponding Infragistics controls. For example I couldn't find a button control, so I have to use standard WPF button.
So to build good looking dialogs is not as easy as I initially expected. I'll probably submit a suggestion.
