How to Access a 'Key' of a Resource Dictionary ?

[PGilbert]

If you save the following Xaml into a variable called 'dic':

Code: Select all

<ResourceDictionary
   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
   xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemNormalBorderBrush" Color="#8C8E94"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemNormalBackgroundBrush" Color="#FFE6E6E6"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemHotBorderBrush" Color="#FF5CACFF"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemHotBackgroundBrush" Color="#FFC2E0FF"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemSelectedBorderBrush" Color="#FF3399FF"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemSelectedBackgroundBrush" Color="#FF99CCFF"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemDisabledBorderBrush" Color="#FFC9C7BA"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemDisabledBackgroundBrush" Color="#F4F4F4"/>
   <SolidColorBrush x:Key="ItemDisabledForegroundBrush" Color="#FF808080"/>
</ResourceDictionary>

than you get the corresponding ResourceDictionary object doing:

      ⎕USING←('System.Windows.Markup,WPF/PresentationFramework.dll')
      rDic←XamlReader.Parse(⊂dic)

than if you try to obtain a resource using a key like:

      rDic.Item(⊂'ItemNormalBackgroundBrush')

it does not work (NONCE ERROR). My question is: What is the proper way to extract a resource using a key from a resource dictionary object ?

Thanks

The issue here is that Item is defined as a property and Dyalog presents that as an indexable array, and allows non-numeric indexers on the property.

So, you should use:

rDic.Item[⊂'ItemNormalBackgroundBrush']

Note that you still need to enclose the character vector.

P.S. I've not tested this specific solution.

Many Thanks John, it worked.
