Question

Does anyone know where to find a list of controls that you can set the template on in Silverlight? I ve wasted several hours now trying to create control templates only to find that the control doesn t support the template property.

By "doesn t support" I mean:

<Style x:Key="blah" TargetType="Border">
    <Setter Property="Template">

Throws an error saying "Invalid attribute value Template for property Property".

I now know that I can t create a template for TextBlocks or Borders. Is there a definitive list somewhere? It s not on Microsoft s site as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Anything that extends Control

Answer 2

Classes that inherit from Control have templates, classes that inherit from FrameworkElement do not.

If you look at the docs for Border you will see it inherits from FrameworkElement.

Answer 3

This link Control Styles and Templates is also really useful because it lets you dive into what the default templates look like. This is a vital resource if you really want to completely override the visuals of a control.
