  How do I Style the Foreground of a TextBlock within a TabControl

  Aug 26, 2008 11:44 PM | LINK

  The following xaml shows the problem, the Styles are successfully applied only to the TextBlocks outside the TabControl.  What is going wrong?  If I have a Style that I am using to present text consistently on a page, how do I apply that Style to the text within a TabControl?

  <UserControl x:Class="TabTextTest.Page"
      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
      xmlns:ctlx="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Extended"
      Width="400" Height="300">
      <StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
          <StackPanel.Resources>
              <Style TargetType="TextBlock" x:Key="RedText">
                  <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
              </Style>
              <Style TargetType="TextBlock" x:Key="GreenText">
                  <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"/>
              </Style>
          </StackPanel.Resources>
          <ctlx:TabControl>
              <ctlx:TabItem>
                  <ctlx:TabItem.Header>
                      <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource RedText}" Text="Red"/>
                  </ctlx:TabItem.Header>
                  <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource GreenText}" Text="Green"/>
              </ctlx:TabItem>
          </ctlx:TabControl>
          <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource RedText}" Text="Red"/>
          <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource GreenText}" Text="Green"/>
      </StackPanel>
  </UserControl>

  Hi,

  we reproduced the problem and we also noticed, that even if the style is moved to the TabControl.Resources it does not work. May be it is a bug.

  Thanks for verifying that.  I thought that I may have just been doing something wrong.  I also noticed that even if the inner TextBlock is placed within a Grid, and the style is moved to Grid.Resources it still doesn't work.   It seems like maybe there is some problem either with the TabControl itself, or with the templating/storyboarding mechanism that it uses, such that the Foreground property from the template gets applied to the TextBlock.

  I will resubmit the issue as a bug.
