public abstract class StyleInfoSubObjectBase : StyleInfoBase, IDisposable, IStyleInfo, ISupportInitialize, IFormattable, IConvertible, IXmlSerializable, IStyleInfoSubObject

Remarks

StyleInfoSubObjectBase is derived from StyleInfoBase and thus provides the same easy way to provide properties that can inherit values from base styles at run-time.

The difference is that StyleInfoSubObjectBase supports this inheritance mechanism as a subobject from a StyleInfoBase. A subobject needs to have knowledge about its parent object and be able to walk the base styles from the parent object.

Examples for implementation of StyleInfoSubObjectBase are the font and border classes in Essential Grid.

Programmers can derive their own style classes from StyleInfoSubObjectBase and add type-safe (and Intelli-sense) supported custom properties to the style class. If you write your own SpinButton class that needs individual properties, simply add a "CellSpinButtonInfo" class as subobject. If you derive CellSpinButtonInfo from StyleInfoSubObjectBase, your new object will support property inheritance from base styles.

See the overview for StyleInfoBase for further discussion about style objects.
