XAML: Property inheritance WITHOUT WPF?

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 t开发者_如何转开发o derive future widgets from DependencyObject, not "Visual" or something similar, because I want to have my own system.

Any ideas?
