How do you apply the Actipro theme to a flyout?

Hi Magnus,

Flyouts themselves are not controls.  But the presenters used for them are.

If you wanted to include a ControlTheme for a specific control, like a MenuFlyoutPresenter, you could add a ControlTheme whose key is the control type, targets the same type, and is BasedOn one of our predefined ControlThemes.  Our "actipro:ControlTheme" markup extension helps find those.

For example:

<ControlTheme x:Key="{x:Type MenuFlyoutPresenter}" TargetType="MenuFlyoutPresenter"
  BasedOn="{actipro:ControlTheme MenuFlyoutPresenter}">

I see, I wasn't aware of the "actipro:ControlTheme" markup extension.

Can I do something like:

<Button Theme="{actipro:ControlTheme Button}" /> even though the default theme for the Button is tied to another theme than ModernTheme?

Yes, you can do that as long as the "kind" you indicate after actipro:ControlTheme is a valid member of our ControlThemeKind enumeration.  For instance we don't have a "Button" value there, but have things like "ButtonOutline", "ButtonSolid", etc.  VS Intellisense may offer the options when typing.

Got it! That's just what I was looking for. Thanks!
