Make multi line design of tag control

I have applied the evernote tag control which is working but the design is not in multi line as I add tag it is added next to the previous tag and adding in the single line, but it has to move down when there is no more space on the page. Here is the screenshot of what I want:
I have followed this link : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15167809/how-can-i-create-a-tagging-control-similar-to-evernote-in-wpf but still unable to get the tags in multi line. Please let me know where I am going wrong. Following is my xaml:

I am getting these tags as:

Currently, you use a StackPanel as ItemsPanel, but a stack panel will never wrap its items in multiple dimensions. So instead, you should try panels like WrapPanel or UniformGrid
For the WrapPanel, you also need to set a Width in the ItemContainerStyle in order to assure same size for all tag items (according to your "what I want" picture).
Then you have to decide on the positioning of your PART_CreateTagButton button. With multi lines of tags, the grid layout of ItemsPresenter and PART_CreateTagButton might no longer be appropriate.
You can probably create a compound items source of the original tag items source and the button as last item. This way, the button will always be properly aligned with the tags. See Add extra items when using ItemsSource and How do you bind a CollectionContainer to a collection in a view model? for more details.

WPF Chart Toolkit - Change area series color's opacity

I need the area series charting to look like:
I succeeded in hiding the two axis and changing the colors to gradient brush.
I still need help on changing the opacity so the green one will be "behind" the orange one.
Also - How do I change the little points on the graph?
How do I change the background to be transparent?
How to hide the chart title?
Right now it looks like this:
Any help will be very appreciated!

You can also set the style as Ressource in XAML and then assign it dynamically in the code behind.

WPF AreaSeries: How to change background opacity?

How do I get a thicker drop shadow on my ToolTip?

I'm overriding my tooltips with the following:
<Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}" TargetType="ToolTip">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToolTip">
<Grid>
<Grid.Background>
<SolidColorBrush />
</Grid.Background>
<mwt:SystemDropShadowChrome Color="#00FFFFFF" CornerRadius="5" Name="Shdw" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<Border CornerRadius="5">
<StackPanel>
<ContentPresenter TextBlock.Foreground="Black" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</mwt:SystemDropShadowChrome>
</Grid>
The Thickness value for the margin seems to have a maximum value of 5?
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ToolTipService.HasDropShadow">
<Setter Property="FrameworkElement.Margin" TargetName="Shdw">
<Setter.Value>
<Thickness>0,0,5,5</Thickness>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Trigger.Value>
<sys:Boolean>True</sys:Boolean>
</Trigger.Value>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
It would be nice to be able to see more of the dropshadow.
My bad for not posting all my code. Here it is with an edit based on the response from icebat:
<Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}" TargetType="ToolTip">

<Setter Property="Margin" TargetName="Shdw" Value="0,0,5,5"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I still don't get a thicker dropshadow for a margin larger than 5.

Margin is not limited. To see more of the shadow you need to apply margin not to the SystemDropShadowChrome decorator itself but to its content:
<mwt:SystemDropShadowChrome Name="Shdw" CornerRadius="5">
<Border Name="shdwContent" CornerRadius="5">
<StackPanel>
<ContentPresenter TextBlock.Foreground="Black" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</mwt:SystemDropShadowChrome>
...
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="ToolTipService.HasDropShadow" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Margin" TargetName="ShdwContent" Value="0,0,5,5">
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
And as a side note, right now you are using transparent color as shadow color (#00FFFFFF). If that`s not changed with some triggers or by other means, you won`t see any shadow.

Dragging and dropping TreeViewItems in non-clickable area of TreeView [WPF]

A question about dragging and dropping tree view items in WPF.
My original question is a little complex. So I simplified it, and here is the code:
XAML
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<TreeView>
<TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style>
<Setter Property="TreeViewItem.IsExpanded" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="TreeViewItem.Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
<Setter Property="TreeViewItem.AllowDrop" Value="True"/>
<EventSetter Event="TreeViewItem.MouseMove" Handler="TreeNode_MouseMove"/>
<EventSetter Event="TreeViewItem.Drop" Handler="TreeNode_Drop"/>
</Style>
</TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<TreeViewItem Header="first node in the tree"/>
<TreeViewItem Header="second node in the tree"></TreeViewItem>
<TreeViewItem Header="third node in the tree"></TreeViewItem>
</TreeView>
</Grid>
And code-behind:
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
public Window1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void TreeNode_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
{
DragDrop.DoDragDrop(this, DateTime.Now.ToString(), DragDropEffects.Move);
}
}
private void TreeNode_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
string str = (string)e.Data.GetData(typeof(string));
MessageBox.Show(str);
}
}
So what I want to do is very simple, just pop up a message box when one tree view item is dragged and dropped on another tree view item.
When I drop it right on another item, it works fine, like this:
But if I drag it slightly off the boundary of the item, it does not work, like this:
The mouse cursor is displayed as a “forbidden sign”, sorry I can’t get it in the screen shot.
So now my question is: how to make the second condition work? How to make the Drop event still fire up when the dropping location is slightly off the boundary of the item?
Thanks in advance.

Take the default ControlTemplate of TreeViewItem and make the Border (the border which contains the ContentPresenter) to have a colspan of 2, e.g.:
<Border
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderThickness}"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Control.Padding}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Border.BorderBrush}"
Background="{TemplateBinding Panel.Background}"
Name="Bd"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
Note that the whole area in TreeViewItem next to the TextBlock would become clickable. You may want to play around with the template to fit it to your needs.
Below is the ControlTemplate of TreeViewItem extracted using Dump Control Template Utility.

use AllowDrop property and Drop event for TreeView itself.

Change selection-color of WPF ListViewItem

I have a ListView containing some ListViewItems. By default, selecting items makes their background to some deep blue. I would like to apply a style such that selecting an item does not change its look.
In my xaml I already achieved this:
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Style.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Transparent"/>
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
Unfortunately, this does not do the trick. It just simply makes the selection white instead of blue.
Does anyone have an idea?
Best wishes,
Christian
EDIT:
Sample Code:
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Style.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="Black"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Transparent"/>
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<ListView x:Name="lvTestRun" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=TestRunData}" Margin="177,26,8,53.277" SelectionMode="Multiple">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Status"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Duration"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="Start Time"/>
<GridViewColumn Header="End Time"/>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>
In order to reproduce this, you may have to set the background color of a single ListViewItem to something like green or red.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by white instead of blue. When a ListViewItem is selected the foreground and background is changed by a trigger. To change the foreground of a ListViewItem you can use this
<ListView ...>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Style.Resources>
<!-- Foreground for Selected ListViewItem -->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}"
Color="Black"/>
<!-- Background for Selected ListViewItem -->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}"
Color="Transparent"/>

Update
Try this for re-templating. I removed all triggers for selected
<ListView ...>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

Have a look at this: http://www.wpftutorial.net/ListBoxSelectionBackground.html or http://dotnetbutchering.blogspot.be/2009/08/how-to-set-wpf-listview-selected-item.html -the same principle applies for the ListView control.
For example, the following triggers based code should do the trick and imitate no change of colour when the selection is changed.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ListViewItem}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true" >
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="YourForegroundColour" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="YourBackgroundColour" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

What I normally do is define that color in the listview's resource collection. Then for each item I can define a template with the colors I like and when I select I don't get the blue.
I do think you should have some sort of indication that an item is selected though.

For also disabling inactive style,
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Style.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" Color="Transparent" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.InactiveSelectionHighlightBrushKey}" Color="Transparent" />
</Style.Resources>
</Style>
