Why are all controls bold?

Question

Yesterday i opened my project the first time since the new year.
I know that i was working on my own TabControl Style before new year.
I also cleaned up my programmcode and put all resources in one ResourceDictionary.

New labels/textboxes/buttons.. are also affected, did I really change a SystemResource?
How can i change it to standard value?

I have a project copy which doesnt have the problem but its ~1month older (only xaml changes).

*Only child elements of the TabItems are bold, can anyone explain me why? And how can i avoid this?

XML

<TabItem Header="Search" x:Name="ti_search" GotFocus="ti_search_GotFocus" Style="{DynamicResource SimpleTabItem}" Margin="14,0,-14,0" Width="184" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontSize="16" FontWeight="Bold">

Thanks for help.

What's the use of asking such question without showing a relevant code sample?

Thats the clue, i doesnt change any code.
I worked with Blend, just for creating my own TabControl.
There have to be a clickable option/resource where i can "easily" change the standard value.. any idea?

*I right-clicked the standard TabControl and edited the actual pattern instead of an copy, dont ask my why, first steps with blend.

**OK, i'm sure that i must had changed any code, so the correct question maybe is: where can i change an attribute that affect ALL controls?

It doesn't matter if you changed anything or not. This is not a clue. No code sample, nothing to talk about.

Ok, i give you some code, all child elements are effected by FontWeight="Bold".
Now i hope you also can help me.

Well, that is a correct behavior. Remove Bold if you want. How can it be a problem?

It affect all child controls, i only want to make the header-text bold, not the buttontext (listboxitem,label..) in this tab.

Solution 3

You are trying to do very basic styling which cannot help you to distinguish such detail as the title of TextItem. To solve such problems, you need to understand general WPF templating and styling topics.

You can start here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745683%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

Please see this article specifically devoted to the TabItem styling: http://www.wpf-tutorial.com/tabcontrol/styling-the-tabitems[^].

Thank you, this will help me a lot! I have never read a styling guide before, just learning by doing and asking.

You are welcome. Eventually, you really need to learn the manuals.
Good luck, call again.
