Hi guys, I've created an "attached behaviour" in my WPF application which lets me handle the Enter keypress and move to the next control. I call it EnterKeyTraversal.IsEnabled, and you can see the code on my blog here.

I also have a separate style which I would like to add to it without blowing away the first one. The styles have different TargetTypes, so I can't just extend one with the other. ...
I have a rather classic UI situation - two ListBoxes named SelectedItems and AvailableItems - the idea being that the items you have already selected live in SelectedItems, while the items that are available for adding to SelectedItems (i.e. every item that isn't already in there) live in AvailableItems. Also, I have the < and > buttons...
