Margin or padding between column and different ItemContainerStyle for group columns

I was commissioned to make a window according to this design:
I chose the ListView container for it. How to make textboxes in cells is clear, but not how to implement indents between columns and different colors for rows. Nothing comes to my mind.
How can I do it?

I'd use a listbox with a grid and columns in the itemtemplate.
Make the header line a separate grid, with matching columns.
If variable widths are necessary on the columns, use Sharedsizegroup to make the columns in your header.
You can then put borders in a row, with columnspan and cornerradius to round them off.
Textboxes declared later in the xaml will get higher z-index and appear on top.
If you want a gap, no problem, you can have a column with nothing in it.
Here's some markup I have to hand which uses this sort of principle. You edit in a separate row, append each item. So it kind of looks like it's a datagrid but I have fine control over everything and in particular an explicit point to validate.

Add ToolTip to DataTemplate in WPF TreeView

I'm trying to add a tooltip to children in a TreeView in WPF. However, it appears even in the XAML I can't get a tooltip to render in the treeview children. Can someone please tell me how to get around this?

Any suggestions to get tooltips to render in the treeview children would definitely be appreciated. Thanks a ton in advance.

You don't set the tooltip property of elements inside of the template, you set it on the TreeViewItem itself.
Here is a very simplified example:
<TreeView>
<TreeViewItem Header="Item #1" DataContext="Test1" />
<TreeViewItem Header="Item #2" DataContext="Test2" />
<TreeView.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
<Style.Setters>
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding}" />
</Style.Setters>
</Style>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
Here I had to set the DataContext manually and hardcoded for the example to work since just using the Header property doesn't set it, but in the real world, you are going to be data bound, so it will be set.

C# WPF UI freeze while datatable binding with Listbox

hi I am using DataTable for binding data with Listbox
DataTable row count = 1000+ and I have to load all row.
and when I binding
// Inside BackgroundThread
DataTable table = GetDataFromServer(); // Get Data (DataTable row count = 1000+)

Should i use ObservationCollection or Any other design pattern for solve freeze issue ?

You are setting the ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll attached property of the ListView to false which effectively disables the built-in UI virtualization and this affects the performance negatively.
Don't set this property to false if you care about rendering and scrolling performance.

Put your code in a Task (own thread) and your UI won't freeze anymore. You'll always have this problem when calling long running operations in the UI thread.

WPF data binding to a parent property inside HierarchicalDataTemplate

I have the following data template in my listbox:
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border BorderBrush="#FF575757" BorderThickness="0,0,0,1">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Tag="{Binding}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Icon"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" SharedSizeGroup="Name"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image x:Name="DeviceIcon" DataContext="{Binding Path=device}" Source="{Binding Path=StatusIcon}" Width="64" Height="64" Grid.Column="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Margin="3"></Image>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" >
<TextBlock x:Name="DeviceName" DataContext="{Binding Path=device}" Text="{Binding Path=DeviceName}" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="#FF00008F" FontSize="14.667"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="PluginName" Text="{Binding Path=PluginName}" />
</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}" />

On MouseOver does not resize image to fit the given height and width wpf window using xaml

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.
