.NET Framework Class Library

FrameworkElement..::.InheritanceBehavior Property

Updated: October 2010

Gets or sets the scope limits for property value inheritance, resource key lookup, and RelativeSource FindAncestor lookup.

Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

Protected Friend Property InheritanceBehavior As InheritanceBehavior
    Get
    Set

protected internal InheritanceBehavior InheritanceBehavior { get; set; }

Visual C++

protected public:
property InheritanceBehavior InheritanceBehavior {
    InheritanceBehavior get ();
    void set (InheritanceBehavior value);
}

member InheritanceBehavior : InheritanceBehavior with get, set

Property Value

Type: System.Windows..::.InheritanceBehavior
A value of the enumeration. The default is Default.

Remarks

Certain boundaries in the element tree set InheritanceBehavior to deliberately limit the scope of inheritance behavior, to a force resource lookup to check the application resources, or to prevent a RelativeSource FindAncestor lookup from querying the current element or any further. RelativeSource FindAncestor lookup occurs when a binding uses a RelativeSource that has its Mode property set to the RelativeSourceMode..::.FindAncestor value.

If you want your derived class to set this property, you should do so within the static constructor or in other initialization routines.
