What is Style Inheritance?

Answer:

It is the technique through which one style aquires the features of another style

It is implemented through BasedOn property of the Style class.

example:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication14jan.Window1"

    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">

    <Window.Resources> 

 <Style x:Key="One" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">

        <Setter Property="Foreground"  Value="Green"/>

    </Style>

<!-- This is how the style inheritance is implemented-->    

<Style x:Key="Two" BasedOn="{StaticResource  One}" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">

        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow"/>

    </Style>

    </Window.Resources>

    <Button Height="100" Width="100"  Style="{StaticResource Two}" Content="Welcome">

   </Button>

</Window>

//Note:
//When you run the WPF Form, the Button will aquire the Formatting from both the
//styles
