What is the best way to inherit Dependency Properties values. For example I have this code and it doesn't work correctly:

C#

 // UserControl1 contains only TextBox 
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
 {
     public static readonly DependencyProperty TextProperty = TextBox.TextProperty.AddOwner(typeof(UserControl1), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata("any text";, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.Inherits, (d,o) => Debugger.Break()));

     public string Text
     {
         get { return this.GetValue(UserControl1.TextProperty).ToString(); }
         set { this.SetValue(UserControl1.TextProperty, value);}
     }
     public UserControl1()
     {
         InitializeComponent();
     }
 }

I added UserControl1 to Window and set Text property in Window's XAML file. Value changed only in UserControl1 instance but didn't change TextBox.Text.

you have to inherit DependencyObject to achieve this like

VB

public class MyTextBox : DependencyObject
{
//
// Dependency property for Text
//
public static readonly DependencyProperty TextProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(
"Text",
typeof(string),
typeof(MyTextBox));
//
// Change-aware property
//
public string Text
    get { return base.GetValue(TextProperty) as string; }
set { base.SetValue(TextProperty, value); }
}
}

Hope this helps
:)
