Modify a resource
To modify a resource using the Resources panel
- In the Resources panel, do one of the following:
- If editing a style resource, double-click the resource or click the
Edit Resource button.
Expression Blend enters the editing mode for the style, within the
document where the resource is defined (in the current document, the
App.xaml file if the resource is defined at the application level, or in
the resource dictionary file if the resource is defined in a resource
dictionary.)
- If editing a color or brush resource, click the color chip to view
of the pop-up color or brush editor.
To modify a resource using the Properties panel
If a property already refers to a resource, you can edit that resource from
the Properties panel:
- In the Properties panel, click the Advanced Property Options
button beside the property that references the resource that you want to modify, and then click Edit Resource
on the pop-up menu.
- If the resource is a style,
Expression Blend enters the editing mode for the style within the
document where the resource is defined (in the current document, in the App.xaml file if the resource is defined at the application level, or in
the resource dictionary file if the resource is defined in a resource
dictionary.)
- If the resource is a color or a brush, the Edit Resource dialog box
appears.

If you want to edit a control template, you can get to the template from
the editing scope of the style by right-clicking the Style
node under Objects and Timeline, pointing to Edit
Control Parts (Template), and then clicking Edit Template.
Control templates are wrapped in style resources in order
to make them easier to manage. For more information about editing
styles and templates, see
Edit a style and
Edit a control template. |

After you modify a resource, any element that references the resource will display the changes
that you've made to the values of the resource. |
