I'm looking for an expander control where the expanding part is more like a popup. Similar to a ComboBox's dropdown functionality.
Is there anything built into WPF that works like that? If not, Best recommendations?
Thanks!

I am trying to achieve this kind of navigation with hierarchy in WPF.
https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/79
*Apparently, the link above is a proposal for UWP navigation control i've been trying to create.
I have tried using listbox view with groupstyle for items with hierarchy and for others that does not have submenu. However I am not able to achieve it properly.
Is there a similar control or toolkit where I can achieve this?
you can use toolkits!

use MaterialDesign expander, treeview, hamburgmenu etc..
I am using Telerik in a WPF app and am using their Drag/drop manager. Everything is fine, except I want to get rid of that pesky arrow that appears before the rendering of the template view.
I am attaching a screen grab using their WPF demo on the drag/drop demo. The area that's highlighted with the red rectangle is NOT part of the template you specify in telerik - and I want to hide it.
Any help would be, of course, very greatly appreciated.
Thanks
in my project we have a reoccurring dialog layout that i'm hoping to consistently replicate between each of the similar dialogs.
In the template dialog, we have a grid that contains a logo and in the center of the dialog has controls specific to that particular instance of the dialog
my hope is to somehow consistently replicate the look, like a template, across each of the dialogs.
I think I want a layout control, where content can be added to the center of the grid
I want to use Blend, such that our designers can manipulate the controls specific to the individual dialog while looking at the template
is there a way to do this? I'm I looking in the wrong direction by thinking of a custom layout control? would I be better off with some type of grid template?
Here is a great way to do this - How to create a WPF UserControl with NAMED content
my preferred is not the answer to the above question, rather the comment
"The answer is to not use a UserControl to do it.
Create a class that extends ContentControl"
I'm a WPF newbie and, unlike WinForms, I have a hard time to setup things in the design window.
My first obstacle is the Image control. After I drag it in the Design window it disappears and there's no way for me to edit its properties (like with the button control for example). The only way to make changes is via the XAML code which isn't very visual and intuitive.
Is there a way to keep editing the Image control in design mode? (example, move it around, select it to view its property panel, etc.)
All you should need to do is give the image control a fixed height and width and it should stay in the designer.
The best thing about the XAML is which separated from code for better re usability like asp.net. It's best you to learn different layouts such as grid, wrappanel, stackpanel etc. Then, you will feel the power of xaml. Else, you can choose the XAML building tools.

I am deriving a custom control from StackPanel (or just using the usual UserControl class). This control should be focusable within the application by either tabbing or clicking the control. When focus occurs, based on other criterion the control will expand and show certain elements. The control will also choose a default child control to focus on.
The issue I have is that I can find no way to focus on a UserControl. The Got/LostFocus events don't fire when I click on the control.
I am aware of the Focusable property, but it doesn't seem to be available on any of the client dlls for Silverlight (using v4 of SDK)
What I would really like is some advice on how best achieve the functionality of a panel I can tab to, as the UI design I have in mind hangs on this.
I guess the control you are looking for, is an Accordion or Expander control.
Here, you will find steps to use the Accordion control. Hope that helps.
