DataGridCheckBoxColumn loses IsReadOnly state when applying ElementStyle

Question

I need to vertically center a DataGridCheckBoxColumn. Since I did not find a Property inside DataGridCheckBoxColumn, I applied an ElementStyl

Answer 1

I have a suspicion that this is a bug (as it doesn't happen on other column types).

To work around it, all you need to do is make sure you base your style on the default style; by adding BasedOn="{x:Static DataGridCheckBoxColumn.DefaultElementStyle}" to the Style element:

This approach has the advantage that you don't have to do lots of work if you are intending on changing the DataGrid.IsReadOnly property at runtime.
