Issue with changing the style of XamPropertyGrid
posted

Hi!

I am having an issue with changing the style of the XamPropertyGrid.

I am using Infragistics 18.1.20181.324.

I took an example from the thread

https://www.infragistics.com/community/forums/f/ultimate-ui-for-wpf/110051/default-property-grid-editors

PropertyGridDefaultEditorsCase.zip

and according to the thread

https://www.infragistics.com/community/forums/f/ultimate-ui-for-wpf/108746/xampropertygrid-description-area-display-an-image

I added the generic.shared.xaml file.

This file is located under the C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\2018.1\WPF\DefaultStyles\PropertyGrid

to the solution and merged the resource dictionaries

<ResourceDictionary Source="Themes\generic.xaml" />

in MainWindow.xaml.

Nothing else.

The original looks like this

When you hover over the items it is gray backcolor and black forecolor.

A selected item is blue backcolor and white forecolor.

The modified example, shows a gray backcolor and a black forecolor when you hover:

but as soon as you select an item the selected item has blue backcolor and white forecoler and all other items switch to white forecolor:

and hovering over the items:

I took a look at generic.shared.xaml  and the line which causes the troubles is in Style

PropertyGridPropertyItemView

line no. 771

<ColorAnimation Duration="0" To="White" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(TextBlock.Foreground).(SolidColorBrush.Color)" Storyboard.TargetName="displayName"/>

if this line is commented the text stays black, but looks not so fine when it is selected:

I was not able to fix this myself.

Main intention is to adjust the some colors, some other visual items and the PropertyGridDescriptionAreaControl .

I've attached the modified project:

PropertyGridDefaultEditorsCase.zip

Thx, Christoph
