How to style the HEADER in ContentPaneFactory
posted

Hi,

I have the following XAML for a ContentPaneFactory.

<igExtensions:ContentPaneFactory.PaneFactory>
    <igExtensions:ContentPaneFactory ContentPath="."
                                     HeaderPath="Header"
                                     TabHeaderPath="Header" RemoveItemOnClose="True"
                                     ItemsSource="{Binding CompositeVMCollection}" >
    </igExtensions:ContentPaneFactory>
</igExtensions:ContentPaneFactory.PaneFactory>

How can I style the Header ( Margin, Font, Padding, Color etc)?

     Hi BM,

    You should have access to the code for ContentPaneFactory as this was provided in a blog post.  The ContentPaneFactory is responsible for associating ContentPanes with the ItemsSource items so you can add a property to this factory that will hold your ContentPane style/template.  Then in the PrepareContainerForItem method inside ContentPaneFactory, you can apply the style/template to the ContentPane.

    Keep in mind that the ContentPane does not have a HeaderStyle property.  It has a HeaderTemplate and a TabHeaderTemplate which you can use to provide your own UI for the header.
