The ApplyCascading method is a public instance method of the BaseStyles class in the Sandbox.UI namespace. This method is used to apply cascading styles from a parent BaseStyles object to the current instance. Cascading styles allow for the inheritance of style properties from a parent style object, ensuring that the child object maintains consistency with its parent unless explicitly overridden.
To use the ApplyCascading method, you need to have an instance of BaseStyles that you want to apply cascading styles to. You will also need a parent BaseStyles instance from which the styles will be inherited. Call the method on the child instance, passing the parent instance as a parameter.
// Create a parent BaseStyles instance BaseStyles parentStyles = new BaseStyles(); parentStyles.Width = new Length(100, LengthUnit.Percent); parentStyles.BackgroundColor = Color.Red; // Create a child BaseStyles instance BaseStyles childStyles = new BaseStyles(); // Apply cascading styles from parent to child childStyles.ApplyCascading(parentStyles); // Now childStyles will inherit Width and BackgroundColor from parentStyles unless overridden
