How to disable appearance change events in WPF?

Question

In Windows Vista whenever we change the appearance from display properties, it is forcing recreation of the windows controls in our application. Is there a way we can disable this events at application level? BTW our application needs to have consistent look and feel across different themes.

Answer 1

If your app needs to have a consistent look regardless of what theme is set in the OS, then you probably need to re-style everything at the application level so that the default theme styles are overridden.

ControlTemplate Examples should be a good place to start.
