Hi,

I am trying to modify the PropertyStyle, but I can't manage to modify the Margin of the AdvancedTextBlock. Here is the code:

<grids:PropertyGrid.ItemContainerStyleSelector>
                <grids:PropertyGridItemStyleSelector>
                    <grids:PropertyGridItemStyleSelector.PropertyStyle>
                        <Style TargetType="grids:PropertyGridItem">
                            <Style.Resources>
                                <Style TargetType="shared:AdvancedTextBlock">
                                    <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" />
                                    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
                                </Style>
                            </Style.Resources>
                        </Style>
                    </grids:PropertyGridItemStyleSelector.PropertyStyle>
                </grids:PropertyGridItemStyleSelector>
            </grids:PropertyGrid.ItemContainerStyleSelector>

To test that the TargetType works I also changed the foreground color. It changed correctly, but the margin is still not changing from the orininal 5,3,1,3. Is it a bug or is there something I can do to work around this?

Hello,

The default value of the PropertyGrid.DefaultStringNameTemplate property is:

<DataTemplate>
	<shared:AdvancedTextBlock x:Name="textBlock" Margin="5,3,1,3" Text="{Binding DisplayName}" 
								TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
					
	<DataTemplate.Triggers>
		<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsReadOnly}" Value="True">
			<Setter TargetName="textBlock" Property="Opacity" Value="0.7" />
		</DataTrigger>
	</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>

I'd recommend just changing that DataTemplate property value, since your Style won't override the explictly set Margin in that DataTemplate.
