Default TextBlock style overriding button text color

问题

My problem occurs with WPF in .NET 3.5 SP1 and can be described as follows:

I have a default Style hitting all TextBlock elements in my UI. That is how it looks:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
   <Setter Property="TextTrimming" Value="CharacterEllipsis"/>
   <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
</Style>

That works fine for all TextBlocks. In addition to that I have a Button style including a ControlTemplate that looks like this (shortened):

<Style x:Key="MyButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{x:Null}">
   <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"/>
   <Setter Property="Template">
      <Setter.Value>
         <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
            <Border x:Name="Border" 
                    Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" 
                    BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" 
                    Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" 
                    Height="24" 
                    BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}">
               <ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" 
                                 VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"
                                 TextBlock.Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"/>
            </Border>
            <ControlTemplate.Triggers>...</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
         </ControlTemplate>
      </Setter.Value>
   </Setter>
</Style>

Notice the line TextBlock.Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" in the ContentPresenter. This should set the button text to green and in fact it does in the designer view of Visual Studio. But when I compile and run the program the button text is red, the text color is set by the default TextBlock style. I verified this with Snoop.

How can I prevent the defaultTextBlock style from overriding the TextBlock.Foreground value? The OverridesDefaultStyle property of ContentPresenter doesn't help in this case.

Any idea?

See answer 5 at this link

This happends because the ContentPresenter creates a TextBlock for a string content, and since that TextBlock isn't in the visual tree, it will lookup to Application level resource. And if you define a style for the TextBlock at Application level, then it will be applied to these TextBlock within ContentControl

A workaround is to define a DataTemplate for System.String, where we can explicitly use a default TextBlock to display the content. You can place that DataTemplate in the same dictionary you define the TextBlock style so that this DataTemplate will be applied to whatever ContentPresenter effected by your style.

Try adding this to the ResourceDictionary

<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type sys:String}">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding}">
        <TextBlock.Resources> 
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}"/>
        </TextBlock.Resources>
    </TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>

You are better off not overriding default style for the TextBlock. The best idea I could come up with so far is to create a style for Control and apply it to all top level windows.

<!-- App.xaml -->
<Application.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="RedStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
        <Setter Property="TextTrimming" Value="CharacterEllipsis"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
    </Style>
</Application.Resources>

<!-- MainWindow.xaml -->
<Window Style="{StaticResource RedStyle}" ...>
    ...
</Window>
