I am trying to make a TreeView with items that have some counts etc. right aligned when shown. I came across the following on SO, but I can't figure out why my output is not actually a TreeView, there are not arrows (expanders or whatever) and no indentation etc, like the image shows it is. There are some things left out in the description of the solution. Apparently they used a List of 'MyTreeItem'. but I don't see how that would create any hierarchical relationship. So i just get a list basically, albeit with the properties shown how i want.
Here's my XAML:

How do i fix this? What am i missing here?
duh i forgot to actually add the children, so i just had to make List Items inside the class so now it's recursive

I design a Datagrid based on Style set for DataGrid, DataGridRow and DataGridCell. I have set border between rows using DatagridRow Style and DGR_Border(as in code). When I click on a row it gets selected, but when I click on row borders, no row is selected, nothing happens when clicked on these borders. I want to click row and select it without forcing me to re-click just because I accidentally clicked in between the rows. Since these borders are part of DatagridRow itself, they are associated with some row and must respond to clicks or hittest? I ended up implementing a MouseDown event on Datagrid and identify the parent of the dependency object to be DatagridRow and get and set the index. This will work perfectly for Single Selection Mode but I will end up implementing the logics for Extended case, if mouse clicked with Keybaord modifiers Control and Shift. I feel there is something simple hidden in XAML which can be set to fix this issue. Hope someone's eye will catch what I am missing. Please find below the sample with exact issue:

Note:: I have already tried the solution mentioned here DataGrid row selection not working when padding is added to cells as seen in my code above and it didn't help.
Since I was not able to find a straight forward way, I did something else to fix it. In DataGridRow Style, I set my border transparent and enable it on row selection and Draw Bottom Border for each cell in DataGridCell Style which replicates DataGrid Row Border amd disable it on row selection.
DataGridRow Style Change:

I have a treeview, for which I wrote the style template of treeview in App.xaml, as I need to apply the style in two or three treeviews in my application. Now my problem is that the togglebutton style works for parent and not for child nodes.
Here for the togglebutton collapse and expand, i added two images(
Resources/Images/arrowexpand.png
and
Resources/Images/arrowcollapse.png
It is working perfectly with parent nodes, but not with child and subchild nodes.
For the child and subchild nodes, the default triangle button comes.
I didn't use MVVM. I don't know where I am going wrong

I want the arrow button to be for the child items and subchild items. Please tell me where I am wrong
I found out the Solution. Actually I am trying to apply the styles for the derived classes of the treeview item. So only my style was not working.
What I did was I just added this style statement in my Constructor of the derived Class
Style = (Style)FindResource(typeof(TreeViewItem));
Then the style was applied to all the items in the treeview.
I have a TreeView which simplified is defined as
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding TreeItems}">
<TreeView.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type models:MyModel}">
<Border Margin="{Binding Margin}" >
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" Margin="3,3,3,3" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
It looks like this
As you can see due to the Margin, which is variable, there is space between the items. The problem is the dropdown arrow. It is not centered on the element. Well, it is centered on the element ignoring the margin. How do I adjust the arrow?
Your XAML markup is both incomplete and incorrect: the DataTemplate should be a HierarchicalDataTemplate and it should be placed in a <TreeView.ItemTemplate> tag. This doesn't apply after your edit.
You can apply the margin to the complete TreeViewItem content including the dropdown arrow:
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="TreeViewItem">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="{Binding Margin}"/>
</Style>
</TreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
<TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding SubItems}">
<Border>
<Grid>
<TextBlock Margin="3,3,3,3"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>
Yes, I know the style below is too lengthy, but give it a try.
Just put it in a separate resource dictionary and merge it.
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding TreeItems}" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource CenteredExpanderTreeViewItemStyle}">
<TreeView.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type models:MyModel}">
<Border Margin="{Binding Margin}" >

</Grid>

Use given style for TreeViewItem like give below
<Style TargetType="TreeViewItem" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TreeViewItem}}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="3,3,3,3"></Setter>
</Style>
Hope this help.
To add a margin to the ToggleButton in a TreeView, you have to add a custom ControlTemplate. There are several good tutorials on MSDN, for example here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms788727(v=vs.85).aspx
I stripped one example down to the necessary elements to match your requirements. Please note, that the ToggleButton is this example is not styled at all, so it appears a normal Button would do. But I am sure, you find several good examples on how to style this Button in a way that suites you the best.
The code:
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TreeViewItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
<Grid Margin="{Binding Margin}">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="20" Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ToggleButton Grid.Column="0" x:Name="Expander" ClickMode="Press" IsChecked="{Binding IsExpanded, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" />
<Border x:Name="Bd" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Grid.Row="0" 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" Margin="-10,0,0,0"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsExpanded" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="ItemsHost" Value="Collapsed"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="HasItems" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="Expander" Value="Hidden"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsSelected" Value="true">

</Trigger>

</MultiTrigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="VirtualizingStackPanel.IsVirtualizing" Value="true">
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel">

<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VirtualizingStackPanel/>

<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding TreeItems}" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource TreeViewItemStyle}">
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type library:MyModel}" ItemsSource="{Binding Children}" >
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"></TextBlock>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
You should be able to do just this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TreeViewItem}}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,0,0" />
<!--Or edit Padding if Margin doesn't work-->
</Style>
It will use default style of a TreeViewItem and edit only defined properties. If you use explicitly defined style for TreeViewItem, use BaseOn="{StaticResource [YourStyleKey]}" (without [ ]).
If you need some more advanced styling I'd suggest you to use Blend to get the ControlTemplate of a TreeViewItem, then just edit it to your needs, without changing too much (keep in mind that names of controls used as a template may have a crucial meaning, so be careful what you are editing).
If you don't know how to use Blend to get your control's template, here is a simple tutorial described in a documentation of Telerik controls (don't worry, it works the same for all controls). You just need to create copy of a TreeViewItem ControlTemplate, paste it to your application and you are good to go (editing).
By using Blend you can get templates of all building blocks of a TreeView control and make them look like you want them to. You just need to do some digging.
I want to change the background color of a button when IsMouseOver == True
<Button Command="{Binding ClickRectangleColorCommand}" Background="{Binding Color, Converter={StaticResource RGBCtoBrushColorsConverter},Mode=TwoWay}" Width="auto" Height="40">
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" Text="{Binding Color, Converter={StaticResource RGBCColorToTextConveter},Mode=TwoWay}"/>
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="DarkGoldenrod"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
I can't seem to understand why this trigger isn't working.
Try this- In this example Original color is green and mouseover color will be DarkGoldenrod
<Button Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="50" Height="50" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" Foreground="{x:Null}" Margin="50,0,0,0">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Green"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="DarkGoldenrod"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
<Button Content="Click" Width="200" Height="50">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightBlue" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border x:Name="Border" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="LightGreen" TargetName="Border" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
As others already said, there seems to be no good solution to do that easily.
But to keep your code clean I suggest creating a seperate class that hides the ugly XAML.
How to use after we created the ButtonEx-class:
<Window x:Class="MyApp.MainWindow"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:wpfEx="clr-namespace:WpfExtensions"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<Grid>
<wpfEx:ButtonEx HoverBackground="Red"></wpfEx:ButtonEx>
</Grid>
</Window>
ButtonEx.xaml.cs
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Media;
namespace WpfExtensions
{
/// <summary>
/// Standard button with extensions
/// </summary>
public partial class ButtonEx : Button
{
readonly static Brush DefaultHoverBackgroundValue = new BrushConverter().ConvertFromString("#FFBEE6FD") as Brush;
public ButtonEx()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public Brush HoverBackground
{
get { return (Brush)GetValue(HoverBackgroundProperty); }
set { SetValue(HoverBackgroundProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty HoverBackgroundProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"HoverBackground", typeof(Brush), typeof(ButtonEx), new PropertyMetadata(DefaultHoverBackgroundValue));
}
}

Tip:
You can add an UserControl with name "ButtonEx" to your project in VS Studio and then copy paste the stuff above in.
Adding on Microsoft_DN answer, if anyone wants to reuse the style for different buttons with different color we can create a custom Button class with hovercolor and bgcolor DependencyProperty.
HoverButton.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Media;
namespace StackOverflow
{
public class HoverButton : Button
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty hoverColorProperty = DependencyProperty.Register
(
"hoverColor",
typeof(SolidColorBrush),
typeof(HoverButton),
new PropertyMetadata(new BrushConverter().ConvertFrom("#5D5D5D"))
);
public SolidColorBrush hoverColor
{
get { return (SolidColorBrush)GetValue(hoverColorProperty); }
set { SetValue(hoverColorProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty bgColorProperty = DependencyProperty.Register
(
"bgColor",
typeof(SolidColorBrush),
typeof(HoverButton),
new PropertyMetadata(new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red))
);
public SolidColorBrush bgColor
{
get { return (SolidColorBrush)GetValue(bgColorProperty); }
set { SetValue(bgColorProperty, value); }
}
}
}
Then add the following style in App.xaml file inside Application.Resources tag
<Style TargetType="{x:Type StackOverflow:HoverButton}" x:Key="customButton">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path = bgColor}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value ="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path = hoverColor}" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
The we can use the style as in HoverButton
<myApp:HoverButton Height="20" Width="20" Style="{StaticResource customButton}" bgColor="Orange" hoverColor="Blue">
</myApp:HoverButton>
Because HoverButton is not using the project namespace we need to add
xmlns:myApp = "clr-namespace:StackOverflow"
in both Application tag in app.xaml and Window tag in MainWindow.xaml file.
Sample: https://github.com/ayush1920/Stackoverflow/tree/main/WPF%20HoverButton
<Button Background="#FF4148" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="Transparent">
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Right" BorderBrush="#FF6A6A" BorderThickness="0>
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF6A6A" />
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Source="//ImageName.png" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Button>
I'm new to WPF and am trying to figure out how to customize menus for a Windows 7 touch screen application. I'm using the xaml below that was taken from another question on StackOverflow to style one of the menus. I now want to style another menu that will be used in a different way. How would I style another menu of the same type?
If the answer should be simple / something I should be able to figure out, please post a link to where I can read on how to do this type of thing. I've been reviewing MSDN for a while now and while I'm reading all sorts of stuff I already know, I'm not seeing anything helpful for me here. (Sorry, just discouraged by the constant battle to find basic information I need to complete a simple task.)

Give your styles different keys:
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle1">
</Style>
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle2">
</Style>
You then need to specify which style you want your ContextMenu to use
<ContextMenu Style="{StaticResource MyStyle1}"></ContextMenu>
<ContextMenu Style="{StaticResource MyStyle2}"></ContextMenu>
If you had any shared style for these ContextMenus, you could do this:
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="BaseStyle"></Style
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle1" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
</Style>
<Style TargetType="ContextMenu" x:Key="MyStyle2" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseStyle}">
</Style>
MyStyle1 and MyStyle2 would then inherit any styles from BaseStyle
All the information I provided could be found here:

I ended up defining the styles for the child objects in the styles style.resources.
