Can you use a style to define a StackPanel's Content property?

Question

I'll just show an example

<Style TargetType="{x:Type f:WorkflowPage}">
    <Setter Property="Template">
     <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate>
       <DockPanel Background="Red">
        <StackPanel Style="{StaticResource Header}">
         <Grid>
          <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
           <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
           <ColumnDefinition Width="205"/>
          </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
          <Grid.RowDefinitions>
           <RowDefinition Height="50"/>
          </Grid.RowDefinitions>
          <Rectangle Style="{StaticResource HeaderTile}"/>
          <Rectangle Style="{StaticResource HeaderLogo}"/>
         </Grid>
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Style="{StaticResource Content}">
         <ContentPresenter/>
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Style="{StaticResource Footer}">
        </StackPanel>
       </DockPanel>
      </ControlTemplate>
     </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

I was trying to take that grid out of there and set it externally. Or is the wrong direction?

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve, but I'd say that this is not the way :).

Stackpanel, Grid etc are just containers. You cannot define their content through styles.

if you describe what you want to achieve, maybe we can help you find a way to do it.
