AeroWizard WizardPages as Separate XAML files

Wizard for WPF Forum

Ok, I want to be able to provide my users the type of Wizard that is native to their OS so I plan on using a AeroWizard for users with Vista and 7, and Wizard97 for XP. However, I've noticed that after building all my pages as separate XAML files, that for whatever reason when I bring them into the AeroWizard they are styled like Wizard97 pages, instead of getting the nice white background, nicely styled blue caption.

Am I doing something wrong? I can't see where I'm specifying a specific style anywhere and I can't see in the examples or in the templated AeroWizard window and wizard that the pages are inheriting a given style...

XAML for AeroWizard:


<Window x:Class="<myInternalNamespace>.NewCustomer.NewCustomerWizard97"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:shared="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/winfx/xaml/shared"
    xmlns:wizard="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/winfx/xaml/wizard"
        xmlns:wizardPages_NewCustomer="clr-namespace:<myIntenalNamespace>.NewCustomer"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        mc:Ignorable="d" 
        Title="New Customer Wizard"
    Width="850" MinHeight="450" SizeToContent="Height" ResizeMode="NoResize"  d:DesignHeight="567" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation" WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow" WindowStartupLocation="CenterOwner">
    
    <Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="CheckboxItemTemplate">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="1" Background="Transparent">
                <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay}" Margin="0 0 0 0" Content="{Binding Description, Mode=OneWay}"
                          Background="Transparent" Foreground="White" Opacity="{Binding ItemOpacity, Mode=OneWay}"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Window.Resources>
    
    <wizard:Wizard x:Name="wizard" WindowTitleBehavior="PageTitle" WindowTitleBaseText="New Customer Wizard" PageSequenceType="Stack" HelpButtonVisible="False">
        <wizard:Wizard.TransitionSelector>
            <shared:MultiTransitionSelector>
                <!-- This adds a fade transition -->
                <shared:FadeTransition />
            </shared:MultiTransitionSelector>
        </wizard:Wizard.TransitionSelector>
        
        <wizard:WizardPage x:Name="welcomePage" PageType="Exterior"
                Caption="Welcome to the Add New Company Wizard"
                Description="This wizard will guide you through the steps of setting up a new Company and optionally adding Users.">
            <Grid>
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition Height="*" />
                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>

                <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" TextWrapping="Wrap">To continue, click Next.</TextBlock>
            </Grid>
        </wizard:WizardPage>
        
        <wizardPages_NewCustomer:NewCustomer_Info_WizardPage />
                
        <wizardPages_NewCustomer:NewCustomer_PreferencesPermissions_WizardPage />

        <wizard:WizardPage x:Name="finishPage" PageType="Exterior"
                Caption="Company Creation Complete"
                Description="The new company has been sucsessfully created in the database.">
        </wizard:WizardPage>

    </wizard:Wizard>
    
</Window>

Hi Brad,

Perhaps since they are custom classes there is something preventing the Aero style from inheriting down. You can explicitly set the style on a page like this:
Style="{StaticResource {x:Static themes:AeroWizardCommonDictionary.PageStyleKey}}"

That was it AWESOME. Thanks.
