Questionslider control templating - thumb style

    I've been running into an issue with Blend 3 and could use a little help.

    I have a resource dictionary that I keep all my styles/control templates in.  Call it rdStyles.xaml.  I'm currently styling a slider control for my application.  The style is in rdStyles.xaml for the whole control template.  however, when I go to style the thumb, it will not allow me to add the style/template to rdStyles.xaml--it only gives the the option of application (app.xaml).  The other two options are grayed out.

    Does anyone know why it won't allow me to continue to add my control templates/styles to rdStyles.xaml?

    Thank you,
    Purkiss

    I've been doing something similar, and I hope I am following you and that this will help.

    When I added in my dictionary, and I add the slider styles to the slider, if I wanted to make any additional changes to it I would go to edit template > edit current instead of making a copy and I am back into editing the template within the resource dictionary.

    Hope this helps!
