Style.Setters Property

Silverlight

Other Versions

Gets a collection of Setter objects.

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

Syntax

Copy

public SetterBaseCollection Setters { get; }

XAML Object Element Usage

Copy

<Style ...>
  oneOrMoreSetters
</Style>

XAML Property Element Usage

Copy

<Style>
  <Style.Setters>
    oneOrMoreSetters
  </Style.Setters>
</Style>

XAML Values

oneOrMoreSetters: One or more object elements for objects that derive from SetterBase. Generally, these are Setter object elements.

The verbose syntax for property element syntax is not necessary because Setters is the content property for Style, and therefore the Style.Setters property element may be omitted. However, some users (and some tools) choose to use an explicit property element usage for Style.Setters.

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.SetterBaseCollection
A collection of Setter objects. The default is an empty collection.

Examples

The following example creates two styles: one for a TextBlock and one for a TextBox. The style for the TextBlock sets the Foreground, FontSize, and VerticalAlignment properties. The style for the TextBox sets the Width, Height, Margin, Background, and FontSize properties. Each style is applied to two instances of a control to create a uniform appearance for each TextBlock and TextBox.

XAML

  <StackPanel.Resources>
    <!--Create a Style for a TextBlock to specify that the
              Foreground equals Navy, FontSize equals 14, and
              VerticalAlignment equals Botton.-->
    <Style TargetType="TextBlock" x:Key="TextBlockStyle">
