ListViewItem override default style break gridviews - c#

I was wondering if anyone has ever run into this situation. Basically what I'm trying to do is override the default listviewitem to customized the the selected background/foreground. I got that working all fine and dandy. Problem is, I noticed that on listviews where I have implemented gridviews the columns are broken. I'm not sure what's going on to break this. My approach to override the default style is used blend to get the full style by editing a copy of template. Modified it as needed. Applied it. This is pretty much what it looks like. Any thoughts?
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="{Binding HorizontalContentAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}" />

<Setter Property="Padding" Value="2,0,0,0" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Border x:Name="Bd"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"

</Trigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsSelected" Value="true" />

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<ListView Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Margin="15,15,0,0" Name="lstResources" SelectionChanged="lstResources_SelectionChanged">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridView.Columns>
<GridViewColumn x:Name="column1" Header="column1" Width="100" CellTemplate="{StaticResource column1template}"/>
<GridViewColumn x:Name="column2" Header="column2" Width="100" CellTemplate="{StaticResource column2template}" />
<GridViewColumn x:Name="column3" Header="column3" Width="200" CellTemplate="{StaticResource column3template}" WPFUtility:GridViewColumnResize.Width="*"/>
</GridView.Columns>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
<DataTemplate x:Key="column1template">
<DockPanel>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="stretch" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" >
<TextBlock.Text>
<Binding Path="mycontent"/>
</TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>

I inspected the control templates for the ListViews in both cases, and came to the conclusion that the styling wasn't working for GridViews because they require a GridViewRowPresenter to correctly layout the row data, rather than the ContentPresenter.
Of course, if you do that, you'll find your normal ListViews which don't use GridViews no longer format correctly, because they require a ContentPresenter.
I wasn't entirely sure of the neatest way around that, but stumbled across this blog post: http://www.steelyeyedview.com/2010/03/contentpresenter-gridviewrowpresenter.html
The gist of which I'll repeat here, in case it gets deleted:
His solution is a neat little hack, and seems to work. It makes use of both presenters, with the ContentPresenter hidden by default (Visibility="Collapsed"), and uses a trigger to make the ContentPresenter visible if the GridViewRowPresenter has no content. Since the GridViewRowPresenter has no content, it won't show anything anyway.
Adapting your Style to include his fix, you'd have something like this (Some code removed for focus):
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<!-- Your Code -->
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Border x:Name="Bd"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<Grid>
<GridViewRowPresenter x:Name="gridrowPresenter"
Content="{TemplateBinding Property=ContentControl.Content}" />
<ContentPresenter x:Name="contentPresenter"
Content="{TemplateBinding Property=ContentControl.Content}" Visibility="Collapsed" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="GridView.ColumnCollection" Value="{x:Null}">
<Setter TargetName="contentPresenter" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
</Trigger>
<!-- Your Code -->
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

Override property of custom control style in XAML

I borrowed some code from some other guy here on Stack Overflow. I have two PasswordBoxes. I want the first one to show "Password" and the second one to show "Re-enter Password". I don't want to rewrite the complete style all over again if the only difference is the text in the TextBlock. How can I override and change the value of the TextBlock, if the TargetType has to be PasswordBox? I'm trying to create a second style that is based on the first one, and then change it from there, but I'm not sure about the syntax.
This one works fine:
<Style x:Name="customPWBStyle" x:Key="customPasswordBox"
TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}">
<Setter Property="helper:PasswordBoxMonitor.IsMonitoring"
Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}">
<Border Name="Bd"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
<TextBlock Text="Password"
Margin="4, 2, 0, 0"
Foreground="Gray"
Visibility="Collapsed"
Name="txtPrompt" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled"
Value="false">
<Setter TargetName="Bd"
Property="Background"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="helper:PasswordBoxMonitor.PasswordLength" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="txtPrompt" Value="Visible"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
But I want to create another style identical, but the only difference has to be the TextBlock that has to say "Re-enter password"
This is what I got so far:
<Style x:Key="reEnterPasswordBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource customPasswordBox}" TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}">
<Style.Resources>
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
<Setter Property="Text" Value="Re-enter Password"></Setter>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
However it does not work. I can see that theres a name for the TextBlock, which is txtPrompt, but I'm not sure if its possible to use that as a reference for chaning the value of the TextBlock.
I would recommend to create a special dependency property in customPasswordBox, e.g. InputHint. (If you can't change customPasswordBox code, make a custom attached dependency property - like helper:PasswordBoxMonitor.IsMonitoring. Attached DPs are great for parametrizing templates)
When you have a property, set default value via Setter, and then bind TextBlock to it via TemplateBinding.
<Style x:Name="customPWBStyle" x:Key="customPasswordBox"
TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}">
<Setter Property="helper:PasswordBoxMonitor.IsMonitoring" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="InputHint" Value="Password"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}">
<Border Name="Bd"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding InputHint}"
Margin="4, 2, 0, 0"
Foreground="Gray"
Visibility="Collapsed"
Name="txtPrompt" />
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled"
Value="false">
<Setter TargetName="Bd"
Property="Background"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="helper:PasswordBoxMonitor.PasswordLength" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="txtPrompt" Value="Visible"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
to make another style, change only Setter for InputHint:
<Style x:Key="reEnterPasswordBox" BasedOn="{StaticResource customPasswordBox}" TargetType="{x:Type PasswordBox}">
<Setter Property="InputHint" Value="Re-enter Password"/>
</Style>
Parts of template are not easily reachable for modification, even with implicit styles

Customizing ListBoxItem: Getting rid of border + clickable area

I'm customizing a ListBoxItem, and I'm struggling with a couple of issues.
The ItemTemplate is a StackPanel of vertical orientation, whose height is set to 120px. But only clicking the label or the image causes the ListBox to select the item, not the open area below the label. How do I get the open area to also cause a change in selection? I'm considering adding a styled Button as ListBoxItem, but I wonder if it can be done any easier.
There's a 1px line between the ListBox container and the ListBoxItem's that I'm not able to get rid of. How do I get rid of it? Here's a screenshot:
XAML:
<ListBox Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding MenuButtonInfoList}"
SelectedIndex="{Binding SelectedMainMenuIndex, Mode=TwoWay}">
<ListBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Width" Value="160px" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource PrimaryColor}" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0, 1, 0, 0" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Border x:Name="MenuButtonBorder" SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
BorderBrush="{StaticResource PrimaryColor}" BorderThickness="0, 0, 0, 1">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Height="120px">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageFilePath}" Height="30" Width="30" />
<Label x:Name="MenuButtonLabel" Content="{Binding Label}"
FontSize="{StaticResource Title1FontSize}"
Foreground="{StaticResource PrimaryColor}" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="MenuButtonBorder" Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource PrimaryColor}" />
<Setter TargetName="MenuButtonLabel" Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource HighlightColor}" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ListBox.Resources>
</ListBox>
How do I get the open area to also cause a change in selection?
Set Background="Transparent" on the StackPanel in your item template. That will make the entire panel hit testable.
There's a 1px line between the ListBox container and the ListBoxItem's that I'm not able to get rid of. How do I get rid of it?
Override the ListBox template to remove the 1px padding:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}">
<Border Name="Bd"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<!-- Padding="1" (removed) -->
<ScrollViewer Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
Focusable="false">
<ItemsPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled"
Value="false">
<Setter TargetName="Bd"
Property="Background"
Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
<MultiTrigger>
<MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Condition Property="IsGrouping" Value="true" />
<Condition Property="VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizingWhenGrouping" Value="false" />
</MultiTrigger.Conditions>
<Setter Property="ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll" Value="false"/>
</MultiTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
Place the above in a Setter for the Template property in your ListBox style.

Access Element in ControlTemplate from Style

I want to Style an Border inside a ControlTemplate. But I don't know how to access it. My Style looks like this:
<Style x:Key="RedCell" TargetType="DataGridCell" BasedOn="{StaticResource MYDGCellStyle}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="DataGridCell">
<Grid>
<Grid Grid.ZIndex="86" x:Name="CellContenGrind" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" />
<Border Grid.ZIndex="87" x:Name="ContentBorder" BorderBrush="White" Background="Crimson" CornerRadius="25">
<ContentPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<Grid Grid.ZIndex="88" x:Name="CellGridFocused"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsFocused" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="CellGridFocused" Value="{DynamicResource Brush_DataGridCellFocused}" />
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" TargetName="CellContenGrind" Value="{DynamicResource Brush_DataGridSelected}" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ungelesen}" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
I need the Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" on my CellContentGrind because of some other stuff, so I can't just move that to my Border.
If ungelesen = 0, I want the Background of my ContentBorder to be Green. How can I do that?
Why not move the Style to the Border itself?
<Border Grid.ZIndex="87"x:Name="ContentBorder" BorderBrush="White" CornerRadius="25">
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Crimson" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ungelesen}" Value="0">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
<ContentPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
Note that Background is set with Setter now to make overridable with DataTrigger.

Can you add on to the ControlTemplate of a BasedOn style or only replace it?

For example, I have a pretty simple custom control called LabeledTextBox that inherits from TextBox. It's just a TextBox with a watermark in it that has had its styling stripped down to a minimal appearance. I want to make it the base class for all of the other textboxes in my app.
I have another control, SearchTextBox, which inherits from that. It is quite similar, but has some controls on the right side and some triggers for the functionality of a typical search box:
Already I have a problem, because SearchTextBox has no label in the UI. If I replace the ScrollViewer with a LabeledTextBox and make it BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ui:LabeledTextBox}}", that works, but only if I hook up with the Text property in SearchTextBox:
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
LabeledTextBox ltb = GetTemplateChild("PART_LabeledTextBox") as LabeledTextBox;
Binding binding = new Binding("Text")
{
Source = this,
Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay,
UpdateSourceTrigger = UpdateSourceTrigger.PropertyChanged
};
ltb.SetBinding(LabeledTextBox.TextProperty, binding);
base.OnApplyTemplate();
}
So obviously, I am missing something here... Since it is based on LabeledTextBox, why doesn't SearchTextBox have a label by default in the UI (even though it does have the label property)? Or are you not meant to inherit styles like this?
I also notice that if I create a custom control that inherits from LabeledTextBox and whose style is empty (<Style TargetType="{x:Type ui:Test}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type ui:LabeledTextBox}}" />), then it looks just like a LabeledTextBox... So shouldn't there be something I can put in the template that basically says, "put everything from LabeledTextBox here, then add some extra stuff defined afterward," just like in normal class inheritance?

How can I make the background color of a node in a TreeView goes all the way out to the right edge?

How can I make the background color of a node in a TreeView goes all the way out to the right edge?
Background
I have a TreeView where all nodes that have children are gray. Leaf nodes have an icon with descriptive text.
If i understand the problem right you are looking to stretch the treeview items.
If that is the case check Here
It's an easy fix. Unfortunately it'll require pretty much code since you'll have to re-template the TreeViewItem. The TreeViewItem's template looks like this
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!-- The Expand/Collapse ToggleButton -->
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="19" Width="Auto"/>
<!-- The TreeViewItem -->
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<!-- The Children -->
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ToggleButton x:Name="Expander" ClickMode="Press" IsChecked="{Binding IsExpanded, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Style="{StaticResource ExpandCollapseToggleStyle}"/>
<Border x:Name="Bd" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Grid.Column="1" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<ContentPresenter x:Name="PART_Header" ContentSource="Header" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
</Border>
<ItemsPresenter x:Name="ItemsHost" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"/>
</Grid>
As you can see, the TreeViewItem itself is in Column 1 which has Width set to Auto while the children (ItemsPresenter) is in Grid.Column 1 and 2 and the Column 2 has Width set to *. To get the TreeViewItem itself to get the same Width as its children we can remove the middle Column (Column 1) and just use Grid.Column="1" for both.
Here's the default Template for TreeViewItem with this "Horizontal Stretch" fix. You'll have to add a reference to PresentationFramework.Aero
<Style x:Key="TreeViewItemFocusVisual">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<Rectangle/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
