XAML: Property inheritance WITHOUT WPF?

Question

I'm working on a XAML - based CUI (console user interface) framework (which should look like Turbo Vision) for C# and I need to use property inheritance with dependency properties.

Is there ANY way to accomplish that?

I would prefer to be able to derive future widgets from "DependencyObject", not "Visual" or something similar, because I want to have my own system.

Any ideas?

That was a year ago. I don't remember ever completing that project.. =P
