WPF List View Grouping Scroll Offset with Headers - wpf

I have an odd issue with a WPF listview:
Background
Using WPF ListView
Using Grid View to add columns
Virtualizing
Using 4 layers of groups to group the data into expanders in a hierarchical structure
Binding to CollectionViewSource defined in window.resources
Due to indentation of the data (the data is contained in expanders) the headers are offset from the column data so I use TranslateTransform to offset the headers by a small amount
Problem
Everything displays correctly and in the perfect hierarchical structure, however when I scroll to the right, there comes a point when the data keeps scrolling but the headers stop, which results in an offset between the headers and the data columns.
I am sure this has something to do with the way I am offsetting the headers, and the length of the headers compared to the data but I cant seem to find the reason for this problem.
List View Scrolled to just before the offset point
List View Scrolled to the end
Code
nb. I have omitted some style stuff as there is a limit on characters for answers here

DatePicker template, borders appear on mouse over

I have a weird problem,
My DatePicker shows in the middle some borders. I don't know where it comes from.
I changed every property of the DatePickerTextBox but it doesn't change anything.
Here is the XAML :
<Window.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DatePicker}">
<Border x:Name="MainBorder" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="5">
<Grid x:Name="PART_Root" Margin="2">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<DatePickerTextBox x:Name="PART_TextBox"
BorderThickness="0"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center"
Visibility="Visible"
SelectionBrush="#FF6F5DF5"
FocusVisualStyle="{x:Null}"
Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,3,0,0">
<DatePickerTextBox.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="TextBox.BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</DatePickerTextBox.Style>
</DatePickerTextBox>
<Button x:Name="PART_Button" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,0.333,0.333" Width="24">
<Button.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Image Source="Resources/Images/down.png"></Image>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Button.Style>
</Button>
<Popup x:Name="PART_Popup" StaysOpen="False" AllowsTransparency="True" Margin="0,0,0.333,0.333" />
<Label x:Name="lblLabel" Content="{TemplateBinding Uid}" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Foreground="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderThickness="0" Padding="12,0" FontFamily="Poppins" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" Margin="6,-11,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsDropDownOpen" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="MainBorder" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF6F5DF5"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="MainBorder" Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF6F5DF5"/>
<Setter TargetName="PART_TextBox" Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property = "BorderBrush" Value="{Binding ToYourBorder}"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<DatePicker Margin="10,260,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Uid="Date de naissance *" FontSize="12" Height="40" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="181" FontFamily="Poppins" Background="#FFFEFEFE" BorderBrush="#FF9A9A9A" Foreground="#FF727272" />
And here how it seems :
And on hover, there is another thin border inside :
Any idea, please?
DatePickerTextBox has it's own Template where the border and the triggers for the border are defined/hardcoded.
You need to take care of those in the template of DatePickerTextBox.
Change:
<DatePickerTextBox.Style>
<Style>
<Setter Property="TextBox.BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</DatePickerTextBox.Style>
To:
<DatePickerTextBox.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DatePickerTextBox}">
<Setter Property="Control.Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_TextBox" BorderThickness="0"
Text="{Binding Path=SelectedDate, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type DatePicker}}}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DatePickerTextBox.Style>
And it should work.

My View model has this Property called IsSelected and when this bool value is true i want to see my image from my Resources folder.
So i know my trigger should be something like that or similar:
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected}" Value="true">
// Here i want to see my icon/image
</DataTrigger>
But where i need to add this image insode my Style ?
update
This is my Menu:

<Menu.ItemTemplate>

<Style TargetType="Image">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsSelected}" Value="True">

</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Path=IsSelected}" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Hidden"/>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Image.Style>
</Image>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}"
Grid.Column="2"
Margin="0,0,0,0"/>
</Grid>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</Menu.ItemTemplate>
</Menu>
Result:
enter image description here
You haven't specified where the image is supposed to go so I'll assume it's meant to go in the left-most column of your grid. You achieve this by styling the image and adding your DataTrigger to that instead:
<Style x:Key="MenuImageStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Image}">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="check.png" /> <!--Image filename-->
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Hidden" /> <!--Default value-->
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsSelected}" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
And then you just add the image to your grid elements:
<Image Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource MenuImageStyle}" />

How to draw a separator line below DataGrid headers in WPF

Is there a way to draw a separator line below the headers in a DataGrid? I have set GridLinesVisibility to None as I don't want any gridlines except the one below the headers. I'm struggling to find a way to do this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is what I want to achieve.
You can modify the DataGridColumnHeader's ControlTemplate.
I used the original DataGrid's template and replaced the default border and fill with a Rectangle with a height of 1.
<DataGrid>
<DataGrid.ColumnHeaderStyle>
<Style TargetType="DataGridColumnHeader">
<Style.Resources>
<!-- This style is required for the column resize thumbs -->
<Style x:Key="ColumnHeaderGripperStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="8" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="SizeWE" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Style.Resources>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}">
<Grid Background="White">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition Height="1"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ContentPresenter Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" />
<Thumb Grid.Row="0" x:Name="PART_LeftHeaderGripper" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Style="{StaticResource ColumnHeaderGripperStyle}" />
<Thumb Grid.Row="0" x:Name="PART_RightHeaderGripper" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Style="{StaticResource ColumnHeaderGripperStyle}" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="1" Height="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Stroke="Black"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

How to change the CornerRadius of the Combobox WPF

I want to use a ComboBox with different CornerRadius, how can I change that simply? I've tried with Style and ControlTemplate, but without any success.
I don't know if this is simple, but creating a ControlTemplate based on the default ComboBox should do the trick. Here is an example:
<Style x:Key="ComboBoxTextBoxStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Grid>
<Border CornerRadius="5,0,0,5"
BorderThickness="1"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderBrush="Black">
<ScrollViewer x:Name="PART_ContentHost"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="18"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBox Name="PART_EditableTextBox"
Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxTextBoxStyle}"
Padding="5,0,0,0"
Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"/>
<ToggleButton Grid.Column="1" Margin="0"
Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxButtonStyle}"
Focusable="False"
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsDropDownOpen, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
ClickMode="Press">
<Path Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Data="M 0 0 L 4 4 L 8 0 Z"
Fill="DodgerBlue" />
</ToggleButton>
<ContentPresenter Name="ContentSite"
Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemTemplate}"
ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplateSelector}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="5,0,0,0"/>
<Popup Name="Popup"
Placement="Bottom"
IsOpen="{TemplateBinding IsDropDownOpen}"
AllowsTransparency="True"
Focusable="False"
PopupAnimation="Slide">
<Grid Name="DropDown"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
MinWidth="{TemplateBinding ActualWidth}"
MaxHeight="{TemplateBinding MaxDropDownHeight}">
<Border
x:Name="DropDownBorder"
BorderThickness="1"
CornerRadius="5"
Background="Azure"
BorderBrush="Black"/>
<ScrollViewer Margin="4,6,4,6" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<StackPanel IsItemsHost="True" KeyboardNavigation.DirectionalNavigation="Contained" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</Popup>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
You will need to define the VisualStates/Triggers in the Style if required

UPDATE:
After changing to get my custom version I found out it wasn't the best example to start with (editable combobox, not optimized, missing style etc ...), I found a good example on this website:

And here my custom version (to implement in Resources ex: in tag <UserControl.Resources>):

<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">

And here the Combobox and style implementation:
<ComboBox
FontSize="13"
Style="{DynamicResource theComboBox}"
Padding="15,5,15,5"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
MinWidth="100"
MaxWidth="375"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1"
ItemContainerStyle="{DynamicResource theComboBoxItem}"
>
<ComboBoxItem>Available</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>Busy</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>On Duty</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>On Meeting</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>On Vacation</ComboBoxItem>
<ComboBoxItem>On Weekend</ComboBoxItem>
</ComboBox>
Add a ComboBox in your WPF project, right click on it and select EditTemplate> Edit a copy...
Choose a name for style and click ok.
vs create a ComboBoxTemplate for ComboBox.
now you can add a border and set desired CornerRadius to ComboBoxTemplate.

WPF Expander control dropdown panel

I would like to style my expander control in such way that it can have a drop down panel like that of combobox control.
Drop down panel should be like it can overlay above other items like that of combobox.
Here's the XAML style for expander which i'm using :
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonFill}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource Brush_ContainerButtonBorder}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource Brush_FontReadonly}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*" x:Name="ContentRow"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border Visibility="Collapsed" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="ExpandSite" Background="{StaticResource BrushTransparent}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource Brush_DropdownShadow}">
<ContentPresenter Focusable="false"/>
</Border>
<Border Grid.Row="0" x:Name="Border" Background="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonBorder}" Visibility="Collapsed" BorderThickness="1"/>
<ToggleButton Template="{StaticResource ExpanderToggleButtonControlTemplate}" IsChecked="{Binding IsExpanded, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" OverridesDefaultStyle="True" Background="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonFill}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonBorder}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Foreground="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonBorder}" d:LayoutOverrides="VerticalAlignment" />
<ContentPresenter Margin="15,2,2,2" RecognizesAccessKey="True" ContentSource="Header" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left" IsHitTestVisible="False"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsExpanded" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" TargetName="ExpandSite"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="ExpanderStyle_Dropdown" TargetType="{x:Type Expander}" BasedOn="{StaticResource TextStyle_BaseControl}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonFill}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonBorder}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
<!--<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource Brush_FontReadonly}"/>-->
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource FontSizeMedium}" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Expander}">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="54"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*" x:Name="ContentRow"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border Visibility="Collapsed" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="ExpandSite" Background="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonShadow}" CornerRadius="0,0,5,5" Margin="0,-5,0,0" Panel.ZIndex="1000">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Focusable="false" Margin="5,10,5,5" Panel.ZIndex="1000"/>
</Border>
<Border Grid.Row="0" x:Name="Border" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CornerRadius="7" Padding="5" Background="{StaticResource Brush_CZBlueSelected}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border Grid.Row="0" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CornerRadius="5,0,0,5" Padding="5" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Margin="0,0,1,0"/>
<Border x:Name="Shadow" CornerRadius="5" Padding="5" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" BorderBrush="{StaticResource Brush_SearchinputBorder}" BorderThickness="0,0,0,2" Margin="0,0,0,-2"/>
<ToggleButton Template="{StaticResource ExpanderToggleButtonControlTemplate_DropDown}" IsChecked="{Binding IsExpanded, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" OverridesDefaultStyle="True" Background="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonFill}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonBorder}" Grid.Column="1" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Foreground="{StaticResource Brush_ButtonBorder}" Margin="1,0,0,0" Height="44" />
<ContentPresenter Margin="4" RecognizesAccessKey="True" ContentSource="Header" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" IsHitTestVisible="False"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsExpanded" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" TargetName="ExpandSite"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value="0.5"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Now using the same in XAML screen as:
<Expander Name="expanderNextScan" Header="{Binding ElementName=listBoxExpander,Path=SelectedItem.Content}" ExpandDirection="Up" Grid.Column="3" Height="54" Width="Auto" Style="{DynamicResource ExpanderStyle_Dropdown}" >
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBox x:Name="listBoxExpander" Height="100" Width="{Binding ElementName=expanderNextScan,Path=ActualWidth}" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,-10,0,0" Panel.ZIndex="5">
<ListBoxItem Content="Go to Next Scan" FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeMedium}" IsSelected="True"/>
<ListBoxItem FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeMedium}" Content="Print with preview" />
<ListBoxItem FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeMedium}" Content="Export as PDF"/>
<ListBoxItem FontSize="{StaticResource FontSizeMedium}" Content="Export to DICOM"/>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
</Expander>
Now want to style it in such a way that the list box coming in the expander drop down should have a z-index greater than the other controls on the screen such that it can overlay over other controls like that of combobox dropdown.
Please reply ASAP.
