Dynamic width binding to the dropdown(Popup) used in custom combobox - wpf

I am using custom ComboBox with style, I want to set width of a Popup dynamically via coading so that to auto adjust the width of popup
so I wanted to change Popup like second image dynamically(whatever may be thesize of ComboBox)
I am using style as follows
<Style x:Key="ComboBoxStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#666666"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Arial"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="13"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="28"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1.5"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="4,3"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Grid>
<Popup Margin="1" x:Name="PART_Popup" AllowsTransparency="true" IsOpen="{Binding Path=IsDropDownOpen, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Placement="Bottom" PopupAnimation="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemParameters.ComboBoxPopupAnimationKey}}" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Width="{Binding ActualWidth,RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=Grid}}">
<Border Name="DropDownBorder" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" BorderThickness="1,0,1,1" CornerRadius="0,0,4,4" BorderBrush="#FFbbbbbb">
<Border.Background>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="#FFE9E9E9" Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.Background>
<ScrollViewer CanContentScroll="true">
<ItemsPresenter />
</ScrollViewer>
</Border>
</Popup>
<ToggleButton Style="{StaticResource cmbToggle}" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsDropDownOpen, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="5,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Center" IsHitTestVisible="false" Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}" ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplateSelector}"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="cmbToggle" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Border Name="cmbBorder" CornerRadius="3" BorderBrush="#FFaaaaaa" BorderThickness="1.5">
<Border.Background>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="#FFE9E9E9" Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.Background>
<Border BorderBrush="#FFaaaaaa" BorderThickness="1,0,0,0" Width="20" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<Polygon Name="pol" Fill="#FF787878" Points="4,9 8,14 12,9" Stroke="#FF787878" StrokeThickness="0" Margin="1 1 0 0">
</Polygon>
</Border>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="CornerRadius" TargetName="cmbBorder" Value="4,4,0,0"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
So My idea is to change width of Popup dynamically(Combobox width - togglebutton width = popup width).I have written style in App.xaml
How to do this, Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Ok so in your ToggleButton Style we can see the Border holding Polygon arrow is 20 in Width. That's the Width to be removed from the Popup
Thus we can do something like:
Firstly add 2 Column's to the Grid in ComboBox ControlTemplate
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Grid>
<!-- New Bit -->
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="20" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!-- End of New Bit -->
<Popup x:Name="PART_Popup"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
...
and then update the Width of Popup to
<Popup x:Name="PART_Popup"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
Width="{Binding Path=ColumnDefinitions[0].ActualWidth,
RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor,
AncestorType=Grid}}"
...
Your Style already has ColumnSpan mentioned on appropriate controls, so nothing else is needed. This should give you the output your looking for.

you can directly use
<ComboBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Popup}">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="110"/>
</Style>
</ComboBox.Resources>

Using Dhaval Patel's solution bound to a view model property did the trick.
I calculate the max width using FormattedText when the collection changes and it bind it below.
<ComboBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Popup}">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="{Binding MaxWidthOfMyCollection"/>
</Style>
</ComboBox.Resources>

Datagrid ColumnHeader Style renders weird double border

I'm made a style for DataGridColumnHeader. Most of it is working, but I get second Border through my header text and I don't know how to solve this. See the image below for the result I get:
I only want the one border that's below the text. This is the style I've made:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}">
<Grid Name="HeaderGrid">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="14" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border
x:Name="BackgroundBorder"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
BorderBrush="{DynamicResource Dark}"
BorderThickness="0,0,1,1"/>
<ContentPresenter
Grid.Column="0"
Margin="6,3,6,3"
VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Path
x:Name="SortArrow"
Grid.Column="1"
Width="6"
Height="4"
Margin="0,0,8,0"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Data="M 0 4 L 3.5 0 L 7 4 Z"
Fill="{DynamicResource Dark}"
RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.4"
Stretch="Fill"
Visibility="Collapsed" />
<Thumb
x:Name="PART_RightHeaderGripper"
Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Cursor="SizeWE">
<Thumb.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="2" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Border Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Thumb.Style>
</Thumb>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="SortDirection" Value="Ascending">
<Setter TargetName="SortArrow" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
<Setter TargetName="SortArrow" Property="RenderTransform">
<Setter.Value>
<RotateTransform Angle="180" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="SortDirection" Value="Descending">
<Setter TargetName="SortArrow" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Can someone show me where I went wrong with the style I made?
EDIT:
I've put all the elements inside the border, but this doesn't seem to fix it.
When I give the border a different thickness, this is the result:
BorderThickness="0,2,1,4"
Both the top and bottom border appear twice.
Giving the header a MinHeight removes the double borders. This doesn't seem like a perfect fix, but works for now.
I recommend you take a careful look at how the original template works.
It's not clear what you're trying to achieve, but you need two thumbs for resizing.
On the following page
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wpf/controls/datagrid-styles-and-templates
Search on columnheader then cycle through the hits until you see markup looks like:
<!--Style and template for the DataGridColumnHeader.-->
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}">
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment"
Value="Center" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}">
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="columnHeaderBorder"
BorderThickness="1"
Padding="3,0,3,0">
<Border.BorderBrush>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1"
StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource BorderLightColor}"
Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource BorderDarkColor}"
Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.BorderBrush>
<Border.Background>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1"
StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource ControlLightColor}"
Offset="0" />
<GradientStop Color="{DynamicResource ControlMediumColor}"
Offset="1" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Border.Background>
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"
VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" />
</Border>
<Thumb x:Name="PART_LeftHeaderGripper"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Style="{StaticResource ColumnHeaderGripperStyle}" />
<Thumb x:Name="PART_RightHeaderGripper"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Style="{StaticResource ColumnHeaderGripperStyle}" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
Notice particularly:
You need a PART_LeftHeaderGripper thumb.
Both thumbs are arranged using horizontalalignment left and right which would stop them filling the cell like yours does.
There is a width set in the style.
As a final piece of advice.
I strongly recommend you start with a working copy of a standard control template. Then carefully make small iterative changes. That way, when it breaks you know what broke it.

Removing gloss from progressbar?

So I was suggested to use WPF forms to make a custom UI for my applications. The first thing I wanted to try was to change the look of the progress bar. The only thing holding me back from it's new look atis the glossy effect over the top of it. I want the progrss bar to be made of mostly solid colours. Is there anyway to remove the glossy part of the progress bar?
Shown here:
Thanks.
Nasreddine answers is very good but if you want something simpler you can use the following
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ProgressBar}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ProgressBar">
<Border BorderBrush="#D9DCE1" BorderThickness="1" Background="#E8E8E8" CornerRadius="0" Padding="0">
<Grid x:Name="PART_Track">
<Rectangle x:Name="PART_Indicator" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Fill="#FF49A3E1" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
You can achieve any style you want by editing the ControlTemplate of the progress bar. Here's an example :
Disclaimer: I'm not a designer.
<!-- Brushed used by the progress bar style -->
<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="ProgressBarIndicatorAnimatedFill" EndPoint="0,0" MappingMode="Absolute" StartPoint="-100,0">
<GradientStop Color="#00000000" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF000000" Offset="0.4"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FF000000" Offset="0.6"/>
<GradientStop Color="#00000000" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ProgressBarTopHighlight" Color="#80FFFFFF" />
<!-- progress bar style -->
<Style x:Key="FlatProgressBar" TargetType="{x:Type ProgressBar}">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#01D328"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#C7C7C7"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#B2B2B2"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ProgressBar}">
<Grid x:Name="Background" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
<Rectangle Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" RadiusY="2" RadiusX="2"/>
<Border Background="{x:Null}" CornerRadius="2" Margin="1"/>
<Border BorderBrush="#80FFFFFF" BorderThickness="1,0,1,1" Background="{StaticResource ProgressBarTopHighlight}" Margin="1"/>
<Rectangle x:Name="PART_Track" Margin="1"/>
<Decorator x:Name="PART_Indicator" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="1">
<Grid x:Name="Foreground">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="15"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.1*"/>
<ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="15"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Rectangle x:Name="Indicator" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Fill="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" Grid.RowSpan="2"/>
<Rectangle x:Name="Animation" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Fill="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" Grid.RowSpan="2">
<Rectangle.OpacityMask>
<MultiBinding>
<MultiBinding.Converter>
<Themes:ProgressBarHighlightConverter/>
</MultiBinding.Converter>
<Binding Source="{StaticResource ProgressBarIndicatorAnimatedFill}"/>
<Binding ElementName="Background" Path="ActualWidth"/>
<Binding ElementName="Background" Path="ActualHeight"/>
</MultiBinding>
</Rectangle.OpacityMask>
</Rectangle>
</Grid>
</Decorator>
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CornerRadius="2"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Orientation" Value="Vertical">
<Setter Property="LayoutTransform" TargetName="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<RotateTransform Angle="-90"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="LayoutTransform" TargetName="PART_Track">
<Setter.Value>
<RotateTransform Angle="90"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="LayoutTransform" TargetName="PART_Indicator">
<Setter.Value>
<RotateTransform Angle="90"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="LayoutTransform" TargetName="Foreground">
<Setter.Value>
<RotateTransform Angle="-90"/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsIndeterminate" Value="true">
<Setter Property="Visibility" TargetName="Indicator" Value="Collapsed"/>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsIndeterminate" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Fill" TargetName="Animation" Value="#80B5FFA9"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Apply this style to your ProgressBar and you're good to go :
<ProgressBar Style="{StaticResource FlatProgressBar}" Value="50" />
Here's the end result :

Override ToggleButton Style

I have a ToggleButton in my window and styled in my ResourceDictionary. The reason why it's in the ResourceDictionary is because I have several or more ToggleButton soon which has to have the same look.
<Style x:Key="Standardbutton" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="18" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="Resources/Standard_Button_Normal.png" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="56" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToggleButton">
<Border Name="border" BorderThickness="0" Padding="0,0" BorderBrush="DarkGray" CornerRadius="0" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Name="content" Margin="15,0,0,0"/>
</Border>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background">
<Setter.Value>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="Resources/Standard_Button_Pressed.png" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Foreground">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FFF9CE7B" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFE88C41" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Now this ToggleButton style has a default background and also when "IsChecked" is true, it will have different background (as you can see on my XAML code above).
Now these toggle buttons has to have icon + text combined, like what I did here (sorry for my lame XAML code)
<ToggleButton Style="{DynamicResource Standardbutton}" Margin="0,0,0,4">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="Resources/scan_26x26.png" />
<TextBlock Text="Scan"/>
</StackPanel>
</ToggleButton>
The question is, how can I have a different icon when the ToggleButton is checked (IsChecked=True)?
Here are some images that might help you to understand the question
Normal ToggleButton Style
IsChecked=True Style
My design goal is to have a different icon when IsChecked=True
Add both images to the control template, and bind their Visibility property to the IsChecked property (use an IValueConverter to convert from true/false to the appropriate Visibility enum value).
<ToggleButton Style="{DynamicResource Standardbutton}" Margin="0,0,0,4">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="Resources/scan_26x26.png"
Visibility="{Binding
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ToggleButton},
Path=IsChecked,
Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisibleConverter}}" />
<Image Source="Resources/anotherimage.png"
Visibility="{Binding
RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ToggleButton},
Path=IsChecked,
Converter={StaticResource BoolToCollapsedConverter}}" />
<TextBlock Text="Scan"/>
</StackPanel>
</ToggleButton>
I used two converters BoolToVisibleConverter and BoolToCollapsedConverter, but you could also use a ConverterParameter to accomplish the same thing.

WPF: LinearGradientBrush with Alpha not works in a Popup control?

I want to create a custom WPF dropdown menu, so I created a User control which contains a ToggleButton and a Popup control. The popup appears when I click on the button.
Now I want to add a mouse hover effect on the menu items in the popup: but the LinearGradientBrush is not working with alpha channels:
<UserControl.Resources>
...
<Style x:Key="SubMenuItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="MenuItem">
<Grid Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}" ClipToBounds="True">
<Rectangle x:Name="rectangle" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Stroke="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}" />
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="text" Text="{TemplateBinding Header}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Stroke" TargetName="rectangle" Value="#30000000"/>
<Setter Property="Fill" TargetName="rectangle">
<Setter.Value>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0,0" StartPoint="1,1">
<GradientStop Color="#10000000" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#10FFFFFF" Offset="1"/>
<!-- Not works... -->
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Trigger>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" TargetName="text" Value="#FF9A9A9A"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<Controls:ToggleImageButton Style="{DynamicResource ArrowMenuStyle}" x:Name="imageButton" Height="21" />
<Popup x:Name="popup" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=imageButton}" Placement="Bottom" StaysOpen="False" IsOpen="{Binding ElementName=imageButton, Path=IsChecked}">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding MenuCommands}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<MenuItem Header="{Binding Name}" Command="{Binding Command}" Background="{Binding ElementName=popupMenuControl, Path=MenuBackground}" Foreground="{Binding ElementName=popupMenuControl, Path=MenuForeground}" Click="MenuItem_Click" Style="{StaticResource SubMenuItemStyle}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Popup>
</Grid>
When I set the GradientBrush to this, everything works fine:
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0,0" StartPoint="1,1">
<GradientStop Color="Green" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
But it seems the Alpha channel breaks the whole thing, and what I see is a black rectangle.
...Any idea?
If I put the MenuItems inside a Menu container, the Menu overrides my styles...
Thanks in advance!
have you set AllowsTransparency to true?

Buttons are disabled in Custom control

I have made a custom control in wpf however I am having an issue with the button that forms a part of the item control (the x in each item element in the attached picture is the button) basically the button is disabled, but I am not disabling it!
If I just place one of the inner items (MultiSelectionItem) into a grid by itself then the button works fine, so it must have something to do with my usage of the ItemsControl element in the Template for the outer control (MultiSelectionBox)

My first guess is that since your button is bound to a Command, the CanExecute of the command should return false.
This is the principle and benefit of a Command: When the can execute returns false it automaticaly disable the associated button.
Check this links for more about commands and MVVM :
