How to Change the Accent for a Custom Control

[Camuvingian]

All, I have created a custom DataGrid and I have styled this using

<Controls:ResourceDataGrid x:Name="resourceDataGrid" 
                           Style="{StaticResource MetroDataGrid}" /> ...

This works great and I have the default MetroStyle colour of cobalt. Now, i change the accent of my entire application according to the example given in the sample application. All windows and MahApp controls change colour but my custom DataGrid remains cobalt (but correctly Metro styled).

Is there an easy way I can update my controls accent without having to 'skin' the control?

Thanks for your time.

Is your custom control using Foreground/Background? You may need to tweak the MetroDataGrid style to work with your custom grid.

Maybe this is caused by the StaticResource. Have you tried DynamicResource?

@Amrykid no the control does not use Foreground/Background. @thoemmi I will try this now and come back to you. Thanks very much for your time LADs, it is most appreciated...

@thoemmi unfortunately this has not helped. Just to clarify the problem, see the attached screenshot:

The grid is styled but the colouring is not updated according to the accent (horrible pink!).

Thanks again.
