[Feature request] Add x:Key to Datagrid, ListView style

[Yopler]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I really like the default style of the Datagrid but I can't make my own default Datagrid Style base on the Handy Control one. I have see that the same problem is present for the ListView style, and maybe some others.

Describe the solution you'd like
It's possible to add a x:Key = DataGridBaseStyle (using the default naming of the other BaseStyle) to the DataGrid Style and then make it default <Style TargetType="DataGrid" BaseOn="{StaticRessource DataGridBaseStyle}"/>

Describe alternatives you've considered
A first alternative is to make all the changes on the <DataGrid/> Tag.
But Currently I have litterally copy/paste the default style and made the Changes I wanted.

PS : Sorry for this approximative English ! ^^

you can use like this

<Style TargetType="DataGrid" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type DataGrid}}"/>

Doesn't seem to work for me.

Here an example of the kind of changes I want to make :

<Style x:Key="CustomDataGridRowStyle" TargetType="DataGridRow" BasedOn="{StaticResource DataGridRowStyle}">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource LayerBackground}"/>
</Style>

<Style TargetType="DataGrid" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type DataGrid}}">
        <Setter Property="AutoGenerateColumns" Value="False"/>
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
        <Setter Property="RowStyle" Value="{StaticResource CustomDataGridRowStyle}"/>
</Style>

And I get the following result :

I feel like it takes the default style of WPF and not the one of HandyControl.

Same problem !

But I just found a solution !
In the previous comment, the style Tag was on the App.xaml file.
The <Style TargetType="DataGrid" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type DataGrid}}"/> solution works if it is in another file ressources. I suggest in the MainWindow.xaml file to make it use in the all application.

However, I think it can be an improvement to create an x:Key = DataGridBaseStyle ^^

@NaBian do you have any idea? can we make x:Key = DataGridBaseStyle?

[NaBian]

if you want to custom datagrid style, you can refer to datagrid.small style, it's easy.

My bad, ListView doesn't have a x:Key yet 😅😅
