[Question] How to create a Style for DataGrid?

[omnilogix]

How do I create a Style resource for a DataGrid?

            <Style TargetType="controls:DataGrid" BasedOn="{StaticResource ?????}">
                <Setter Property="AutoGenerateColumns" Value="False" />
                <Setter Property="GridLinesVisibility" Value="Horizontal" />
                <Setter Property="HeadersVisibility" Value="Column" />
...
            </Style>

I have not found a default style key to use as a basis for a new style

@anawishnoff is there any specific doc available that can help guide?

Here are some docs that help out with editing control templates and creating styles in XAML.

To find that default style key, I'd recommend looking at the generic.xaml file (see info here) to find the DataGrid's control template, but I don't see it in that file. @michael-hawker is there a separate location for the control templates of toolkit controls?

Sorry missed being pinged on this in April, the Data Grid style is here: https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit/blob/main/Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls.DataGrid/DataGrid/DataGrid.xaml

It's not named, so you'll have to copy it.

[omnilogix]

So, how about naming it... and any other controls that don't have a default style key?

@omnilogix we have an issue tracking that in general here: #3602
