What are the font properties in WPF that are inherited through the visual tree?

Question

WPF has certain font properties that are inherited through the visual tree. This for instance allows changing of the FontFamily on a UserControl and have all the text in it reflect that change.

What are all the font-related properties that are passed via inheritance in the visual tree?

Answer 1

The properties are:

• TextElement.Foreground
• TextElement.FontFamily
• TextElement.FontSize
• TextElement.FontStretch
• TextElement.FontStyle
• TextElement.FontWeight

Since they are attached properties, they can be set on types in the visual tree that do not have explicit dependency properties (such as Foreground) defined on them.
