I am not good at WPF and I am struggling with this a bit. I have a WPF window that has the following code:
<ContentControl.Content>
<Button Name="btnUpdateCommand" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Row="2" Command="{Binding UpdateCommand}" Height="23" Margin="0,4">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Name="txtUpdate" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding InstallButtonText}" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Margin="5,2,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FormCloseCountDown}" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Margin="5,2,0,0"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</ContentControl.Content>
How do a resize btnUpdateCommand when I have localization text. I tried changing the alignment of the TextBlock etc. but no joy.
As an example this is what the button look like when it has english
And this is what the button looks like when it has french
What am I missing?

You're explicitly setting the Width of the Button (to 175). Remove this attribute; this will allow the Button to determine its own optimal width.
While you're at it, remove the DockPanel.Dock attributes on the TextBlocks; these attributes do nothing since the TextBlocks are inside a StackPanel, not a DockPanel.

i have defined a controltemplate that is used to windows ,then windows have the same view as basically.
after that ,i should add different controls in different windows. and i have no idea how to add the elements' host in controltemplate to hold different parts of controls which likes the picture bellow.
and one more thing, how to access the controls and how to set the buttons' actions in controltemplate of different window? it should be use a windowBase class to do that ?

and create a windowBase as parent class of new windows.
What I'm trying to do is a combobox that have the favorite values on top, with a different background color and button. Right now I have:

<Button Grid.Column="1" Command="{Binding CommandButton, ElementName=root}"
CommandParameter="{Binding}">+</Button>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
</UserControl>
Right now I have an Add button so I can add my items as favorites. But what I want now is, based on the item I represent it as favorite or not.
Case is a favorite have a different background color an a [-] button (to remove). Case is not the background is white as usual and have a [+].
See if a ContentControl helps you here in place of where you are using a Button.

I have the following data template in my listbox:

</StackPanel>
<Menu x:Name="MainMenu" VerticalAlignment="Top" Padding="0,3" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding deviceMenu}">
<Menu.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="{Binding Icon}" Width="16" Height="16">
<Image.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Icon}" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Image.Style>
</Image>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}"/>
</StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</Menu.ItemTemplate>
<Menu.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding ClickCommand}" />
<Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding device}" />
</Style>
</Menu.ItemContainerStyle>
</Menu>
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
The MenuItem's are bound to a property named deviceMenu in the root object. But the root object also contains a property called device which needs to be mapped to the CommandParameter property.
So how do I reach up and out of deviceMenu back to the parent object to access its properties?
Blame it on fatigue... The answer was pretty simple:
<Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Grid}}, Path=DataContext.device}" />
I need to increase the Height and Width of my images OnMouseOver which are placed in a StackPanel with orientation as horizontal so that the images span over my entire panel with a given size in my WPF window and that is what am unable to achieve. Please let me know if I am missing any math in my xaml attributes or anything wrong with my approach.
Thanks in advance.
The following is my xaml and later are my output images.

Try putting your style in the resources of either the stackpanel or the grid.

I have an error dialog (shown simplified below).
I display the Report object in a ContentControl to which I have defined a Template simpleErrorTemplate.
There is a CheckBox on the Window that I would like to use to change the template to/from detailedErrorTemplate. What is the best way to achieve this?
<Window x:Class="Core.ErrorDialog"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Window.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="simpleErrorTemplate">
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="{Binding Message}" />
</ControlTemplate>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="detailedErrorTemplate">
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="{Binding Message}" />
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="{Binding Details}" />
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="{Binding StackTrace}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ContentControl Grid.Row="0" Template="{StaticResource simpleErrorTemplate}" DataContext="{Binding Report}"/>
<CheckBox Margin="10,0,0,0" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="ChkShowDetails">Show Details</CheckBox>
</Grid>
</Window>
You can use a DataTrigger in the ContentControl Style where you bind to the IsChecked property of the ChkShowDetails CheckBox
<ContentControl Grid.Row="0" DataContext="{Binding Report}">
<ContentControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="ContentControl">
<Setter Property="Template"
Value="{StaticResource simpleErrorTemplate}"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=ChkShowDetails,
Path=IsChecked}"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Template"
Value="{StaticResource detailedErrorTemplate}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>
Update
Complete Xaml example, paste it and try it :)
<Window.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="simpleErrorTemplate">
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="T1" />
</ControlTemplate>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="detailedErrorTemplate">
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="T2" />
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="T3" />
<TextBox Margin="10,10,10,5" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Text="T4" />
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ContentControl Grid.Row="0" DataContext="{Binding Report}">
<ContentControl.Style>
<Style TargetType="ContentControl">
<Setter Property="Template"
Value="{StaticResource simpleErrorTemplate}"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=ChkShowDetails,
Path=IsChecked}"
Value="True">
<Setter Property="Template"
Value="{StaticResource detailedErrorTemplate}"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</ContentControl.Style>
</ContentControl>
<CheckBox Margin="10,0,0,0" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="ChkShowDetails">Show Details</CheckBox>
</Grid>
This Solution is for those who are searching for Template swap.
It is simple hope it helps you. Please point out any mistakes.
Just use this code for changing the Template on checkBox Checked Event.
private void checkBox1_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DataTemplate Temp;
Temp = (DataTemplate)this.FindResource("TemplateYouHaveCreated");
listView1.ItemTemplate = Temp;
}
