Style an expander to expand To the left - wpf

I have an expander that is styled (the toggle button basically spins around) which is good for when the expander expands in an upwardley mobile direction.
However I now want it to move in a horizontal direction, but I cant figure out what I need to add/change.
The main thing I tried was the obvious ExpandDirection="Left" property on the expander but that had no effect
This is my XAML:
<UserControl.Resources>
<!--Import the value converter-->
<helpers:MultiplyConverter x:Key="MultiplyConverter" />
<!--The control template for a toggle button (this will be used for the expander button)-->
<ControlTemplate x:Key="AnimatedExpanderButtonTemp" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">

WPF Datatrigger ColorAnimation not working

I am currently working on my own Themes for all the wpf controls.
I can't really get the Checkbox Usercontrol working.
I'm trying to get a smooth color fade in / fade out when checking the checkbox.
This is the relevant part of my code in my ressource dictionary:
<Border x:Name="checkbox" CornerRadius="5" Width="18" Height="18" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black">
<!-- Checkmark -->
<TextBlock Text="" ClipToBounds="True" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Background="Transparent" Foreground="White" FontSize="15" FontWeight="ExtraBold"/>
<Border.Style>
<Style TargetType="Border">
<!-- Animations (Color fade in and out) -->
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=IsChecked}" Value="True">
<DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation To="#006092" Duration="0:0:0.2" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</DataTrigger.EnterActions>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=IsChecked}" Value="False">
<DataTrigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ColorAnimation To="#FFFFFF" Duration="0:0:0.2" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background.Color"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</DataTrigger.EnterActions>
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Border.Style>
</Border>
The fade out works (Value=false), but the fade in never triggers. I added a "From" value to confirm / test this, it doesn't trigger at all.
All help would be much appreciated!
Kind Regards
The proper way is to use the EnterAction and ExitAction of the Trigger and to move the trigger from the Style to the ControlTemplate. Also note how the Border properties are wired to the templated parent to allow local values having an effect.
<CheckBox IsChecked="True" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Black">
<CheckBox.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="CheckBox">
<Border x:Name="checkbox"
Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
CornerRadius="5"
Width="18" Height="18" >
<!-- Checkmark -->
<TextBlock Text="" ClipToBounds="True" FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Background="Transparent" Foreground="White" FontSize="15" FontWeight="ExtraBold"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">

How to bind the ProgressBar Value to Textbox in ResourceDictionary?

I have a custom ProgressBar control in XAML and I want to set a TextBox over it to write the ProgressBar Value. But I can't bind the Value correctly.
The code part to be fixed:
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ValueChanged">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="0:0:0" Storyboard.TargetName="txt"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Text">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0" Value="{Binding Path=Value,RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, StringFormat={}{0:0}%}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
UPDATED: Whole code in style.xaml (ResourceDictionary)
<Style x:Key="colorizedPB" TargetType="ProgressBar">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="LightGray"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ProgressBar">
<Viewbox>
<Border HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
BorderBrush="Gray" BorderThickness="1">
<Grid>
<Rectangle x:Name="rect" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" Width="0" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}">
<Rectangle.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform X="0" Y="0"/>
</Rectangle.RenderTransform>
</Rectangle>
<TextBlock x:Name="txt" FontSize="13" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="test"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</Viewbox>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="ValueChanged">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="0:0:0" Storyboard.TargetName="txt"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="Text">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ProgressBar}}, Path=Value, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
In MainWindow.xaml
<Grid Grid.Column="1" Margin="8,102,10,53">
<ProgressBar Background="LightBlue" Name="progressBar" Style="{DynamicResource colorizedPB}" Width="200" Height="20"/>
</Grid>
Delete the EventTrigger and try this:
<TextBlock
x:Name="txt"
FontSize="13"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{TemplateBinding Value}"
/>
You may want to format Value, in which case you'll need to use a Binding instead:
<TextBlock
x:Name="txt"
FontSize="13"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="{Binding Value, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, StringFormat={}{0:0.00}}"
/>

Can't do animation

I want to change size of button from 70 till 90 when mouse is over:

</TextBlock>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="FrameworkElement.Loaded" />
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
using:
<Button Content="Button"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="36,140,0,147"
Width="151"
Style="{DynamicResource RadialButton}" />
but it does not work. Nothing happened. Why and how to solve this problem?
That's because you have Storyboard, but you don't play it.
Try add trigger to play that storyboard. Something like this:
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource Storyboard1}" />
</Trigger.EnterActions>
</Trigger>
Btw this is result of your animation:
You have to start your Storyboard. Your EventTrigger does nothing.
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="MouseEnter">
<BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource Storyboard1}" />
</EventTrigger>

Wpf ComboBox Style Triggers And Binding

I'm creating a wpf app that can be controlled by a remote control or a keyboard. I'm trying to create a ComboBox that when focus moves to it, the text will glow. By clicking ok on the remote (Or enter on the keyboard) the dropdown appears allowing the user to make their choice.
To make the keyboard navigation work I created a custom control which extends a combobox. Everything is working as it should but I'm having trouble styling it.
I want the ComboBox to be a textbox with the Glow effect mentioned above but I'm having trouble working out where to place the Triggers.
In the below Xaml I get an error that "FlowMenuComboBoxContentTemplateGlow" can't be found. I'm also having trouble working out what I need to bind to in the Textbox to show the Selected Item's text.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Moving the triggers into the ItemTemplate and using relative source to to get the isFocused path of the comboboxitem fixed this issue.

WPF ComboBox with custom style, cannot expand DropDown after clicking inside of ComboBox

I have included the following style for ComboBox, which I happened to find as part of WPFToolkit some year ago.
It lacks one basic funcionality, that is, if I click inside the TextBox of the ComboBox, I want the dropdown menu to expand as usual. In this template the dropdown menu can only be opened by clicking the ComboBoxToggleButton directly.
I have no clue what to look for in the template style, can you please direct me somehow?

There are two use cases for the ComboBox. The first is when IsEditable is false. In this case, the user is restricted to selecting a predefined item. The second is when IsEditable is true, and this case allows the user to enter text as well as select a predefined item.
With the default Aero style, clicking in the "text" area (i.e. when IsEditable is true) does not bring up the drop-down. Clicking focuses/select the text instead. The other styles will open the drop-down though.
To accomplish this there is a transparent ToggleButton placed on top of the other control, which toggles the drop-down visibility. Something like:
<Grid Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="true">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"
SharedSizeGroup="ComboBoxButton"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBox x:Name="PART_EditableTextBox"
Grid.Column="1"
Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxEditableTextBox}"
IsReadOnly="{Binding Path=IsReadOnly,RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
<ToggleButton Background="{x:Null}"
Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxTransparentButtonStyle}"
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsDropDownOpen,Mode=TwoWay,RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
</Grid>
This was pull from the default Style for Luna, which you can get from here (or download directly from here).
