Button that expands items in expand to the right (WPF) - wpf

By default an expander is like that:
But I want the button that expands the items to the right like the following image: (I really don't know if that item is called a button)
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

You can move the button to the right by editing the template of the ToggleButton. Here is a full working example that can be copied and pasted and edited as per your requirements:

Blackbox checkmark in checked menu item

I'm having a weird problem with MenuItem objects that have IsCheckable=True - a screenshot is worth a thousand words:
This looks very much like Check Mark Showing as a Black Box in Menu, except the accepted answer there, unless I misread it badly, suggests to tweak ToolBar.MenuStyleKey, which doesn't seem to be tweaking the right thing at all:
<Style x:Key="{x:Static ToolBar.MenuStyleKey}" TargetType="Menu">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Yellow" />
</Style>
So, how do I get to that black box, and make it, say, GhostWhite?
Works for me.
Exported the template per the instructions in the link you referenced.
Applied that style to the MneuItems.
<ToolBar>
<Button Content="One"/>
<Button Content="Two"/>
<Menu>
<MenuItem Header="Markets" Style="{DynamicResource MenuItemStyle1}">
<MenuItem IsCheckable="True" Header="British" Style="{DynamicResource MenuItemStyle1}"/>
<MenuItem IsCheckable="True" Header="Irish" Style="{DynamicResource MenuItemStyle1}"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
</ToolBar>
Changed Background to Yellow in the template as such:
<Border x:Name="GlyphPanel" BorderBrush="#80DADADA" BorderThickness="1" Background="Yellow" Height="20" Margin="0,1" Visibility="Hidden" Width="20">
Just to make this example totally complete, below is the template that I exported:

I can still see a whilte line between combox box and border around "MainGrid". I am not able to figure out.
Kindly help.
The white border comes with ButtonChrome element, i prefer not to make controls depending on the Windows settings, unless i really need to, so i usually replace the ButtonChrome element with a simple Border. Try this content as control template for your ToggleButton:
<Border x:Name="Chrome" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemParameters.VerticalScrollBarWidthKey}}">
<!-- Combox downarrow changed to #1cc2fc from black -->
<Path x:Name="Arrow" Fill="#1cc2fc" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="3,1,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Data="{StaticResource DownArrowGeometry}"/>
</Grid>
</Border>

Labels That Look Exactly Like Expander

In WPF I'd like to have an expander that shows a stack of labels that have the exact style as the default expander; rounded corners, black border, except the open/close image.
Anyone got a style for that?
I tried to extract a style from the default Expander style but i think it might be a bit different, also note that by default there is no visible border, so you will not see the rounded edges unless you change the respective brush or use a background colour:
<Style x:Key="LabelExpanderStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Label}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Label}">
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" CornerRadius="3" SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Margin="1" MinWidth="0" MinHeight="0">
<ContentPresenter />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Here is the complete default style if you want to try yourself, all the header styles and triggers are irrelevant since they are used for the ToggleButton which you do not want in a Label:

SharedSizeGroup in menuItem template

I have to apply a specific design to my application's menus.
So I took Microsoft's template example as a basis to build on:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms747082.aspx
so what I did is I created a new ResourceDictionary containing all those templates/Brushes/Styles etc... (just copy/pasted them) in my app's resources.
it works pretty well except for ONE thing:
the SharedSizeGroup property seems to have no effect whatsoever. The icons/checkmarks are not at all aligned, and if I have a menuItem with an icon followed by a menuItem with no icon, the one without icon will be left-aligned, so that it starts below the first one's icon. (ugly)
now I read the doc and one part has me stuck :
Grid size-sharing does not work if you
set IsSharedSizeScope to true within a
resource template and you define
SharedSizeGroup as outside that
template.
what on earth does that mean? and is it (as I suspect) the source of my problem here. If yes, what is the solution?
thank you for your help.
I copied these from Blend 4 and tried them out and they seem to be working ok. You'll need a reference to PresentationFramework.Aero

Disable TabStop on Expander

I set IsTabStop to False, but Tab still navigates to the expander.
Any ideas what am I doing wrong?
<Expander Header="Data" IsTabStop="False">
<Border Background="White" BorderThickness="0"/>
</Expander>
It looks like a bug in the Expander template:

followed link shared above and was able to fix similar situation: working in a very powerful application but, as such, is complex. Have Expander implemented with a corresponding template applied.
That Expander wrapples multiple nested controls which in turn have other controls. We want keyboard navigation like using Tab not to go through Expender Header which provides view title but were unable to do that.
With information you shared was able to set appropriate value at expander and avoid focusing at Expander Header while keeping it reusable at other views. So implemented it adding following code at template's ToggleButton
Focusable="{TemplateBinding Focusable}"
And add a binding at view where Expander is used:
<Expander x:Name="Expander" Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" IsExpanded="{Binding IsExpanded}" Template="{StaticResource ExpanderBugFixTemplate}" Focusable="False">
Thanks!
