wpf-style

In WPF, you can create a Style that acts as the default for a control type in XAML: <Style TargetType="{x:Type local:MyControl}"> . . . </Style> Then, when WPF goes to display that control, it looks up that Style from the resources based on the its type. I want to do the equivalent of this in the code-behind of my program. How do I find that Style ? ZF.

This is the code I've tried: <Style.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="SlateGray" /> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"></Setter> </Trigger> </Style.Triggers> Another way I could think of was creating individual
