Styling WPF ScrollViewer To Appear Like VS2010 Tabs Scroller - wpf

I'm using AvalonDock to develop a tool for internal use by our developers and QA. I am working on a custom version of the VS2010 style that is provided in the Themes. The style just didn't function enough like VS2010 for me to be happy with it. I've made almost all the color and image changes and I just noticed that the tabs in the DocumentPane do not scroll like VS2010 when there are more tabs than can fit in the header area.
Since I have the complete style in my project I found the area where the styles are applied. I placed a ScrollViewer around the ad:DocumentTabPanel thinking I could somehow restyle the horizontal scrollbar so that there would be an arrow on the left and on the right of the tabs.
Is this possible?
Here is the style after my base modifications but without any modification to the scrollviewer:
<Style x:Key="{x:Type ad:DocumentPane}" TargetType="{x:Type ad:DocumentPane}">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {ComponentResourceKey {x:Type ad:DockingManager}, {x:Static ad:AvalonDockBrushes.DefaultBackgroundBrush}}}"/>

I did something like this in the past, and found it easiest to hide the ScrollViewer's ScrollBar, and manually scroll the content when two RepeatButtons are pressed.
The code I originally started with can be found here, but the basic idea is to overwrite the ScrollViewer's template to look something like this:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<RepeatButton Grid.Column="0" Command="ScrollBar.PageLeftCommand" Content="<" />
<RepeatButton Grid.Column="2" Command="ScrollBar.PageRightCommand" Content=">" />
<ScrollContentPresenter Grid.Column="1" Content="{TemplateBinding ScrollViewer.Content}"/>
</Grid>

How to implement AutoSize Grid Layout in Treeview

I want to implement a grid layout for a treeview, where the most right column has a *-size and the most left column has always the size.
Xaml
<TreeView.ItemTemplate>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type model:BaustelleModel}" ItemsSource="{Binding Abschnitte}">
<Grid ShowGridLines="True">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="A"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border Grid.Column="0" BorderThickness="0 0 1 0" BorderBrush="Black">
<Label Content="{Binding Bezeichnung}"/>
</Border>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Background="Red"/>
<Label Grid.Column="2" Background="Green"/>
<Label Grid.Column="3" Background="AliceBlue"/>
</Grid>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.ItemTemplate>
</TreeView>
The result is shown in the picture. However, I want to draw a border for evey node like the blue lines. If a new node is added, or a text changed, the border should align for all nodes with the border of the node, where the text end on the most far right.
Update 1
So, I fiddled around a bit with the ControlTemplate. And the problem is, that the ContentPresenter starts with an indention based on its level. In the picture below, the background of the ContentPresenter is set to red. So I need a way, to substract "level * space for indention" from the columnwidth.
I hope there is no direct way other than overriding the default TreeviewItem.

When I choose any item from the List, it doesn't display.Just a white space. I tried to Bind SelectionBoxItem, but it doesn't work.
I will be so happy if I get answer.
Thanks.
The problem is that your Template doesn't contain ContentPresenter, where to show selected item. It should be here:
<Style x:Key="ComboBoxStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle" Value="{StaticResource ComboBoxItemStyle}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Grid>
<ToggleButton Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
Width="549"
Style="{StaticResource ToggleButtonStyle}"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsDropDownOpen,Mode=TwoWay,RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
ClickMode="Press"/>
<ContentPresenter Name="ContentSite"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Content="{TemplateBinding ComboBox.SelectionBoxItem}"
ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ComboBox.SelectionBoxItemTemplate}"/>
<Popup Name="Popup"...
Also, I'm not really sure your code works as in Combobox's Style Setter there is an IsSelected property. And it has value, that should be assigned to ItemContainerStyle property:
<Setter Property="ItemContainerStyle" Value="{DynamicResource ComboBoxItemStyle}"/>
Also, I would recommend you not to use DynamicResource, if it is not so valuable for you. Use StaticResource instead.

My co-worker recognized the problem. The Problem was, that my Image was covered by the CaptionHeight of the WindowChrome. When i set the CaptionHeigt to zero it works.
So i found a solution to make both work. The CaptionHeight (To drag the window around) and the mouse event on Element that are coverd by the CaptionHeight.
I had to set this property on the affected element:
shell:WindowChrome.IsHitTestVisibleInChrome="True"
I found this Solution here:
How can I add a button to the WPF caption bar while using custom window chrome?

How can I access to an object in a control of wpf, programmatically?

How can I access my "border_Main" control programmatically?
I would recommend using LinqToVisualTree ...
http://www.scottlogic.co.uk/blog/colin/2010/03/linq-to-visual-tree/
You can find all the "border_Main" controls within the TabControl as follows:
tabControl.Descendants<Border>().Where(d => d.Name=="border_Main");
Or, if you could use the above query on a TabItem directly if you want to find a single border_Main instance.

TreeViewItem.Header with Grid inside

I'm trying to make "Img" appear in the end of TreeViewItem.Header (as close to the right side of TreeView control), but no mater what I try header wide is always less than TreeView size and ofcourse "Img" appear somewhere in the middle of the control. This probably a very newbish question; I'm just starting to learn WPF.
<TreeView Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="3,3,3,3" Name="treeView1" Width="300">
<TreeViewItem HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TreeViewItem.Header>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition Width="30" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">General</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0">Img</Label>
</Grid>
</TreeViewItem.Header>
</TreeViewItem>
</TreeView>
To achieve that you need to change the Control template of the TreeviewItem using the ItemContainerStyle of the TreeView (this is the style that gets applied to any item in the root of the treeview).
The default TreeViewItem is not stretched, so it does not extend all the way to the right.
When you set the Header, it is inside the TreeViewItem and so cannot extend past it.
I will not post the whole style because it would be way too long.
Here's what to do in Blend:
select your TreeViewItem, right click and chose "Edit Control Parts/Edit a copy". Save the style wherever you want.
Now, in the template, expand the stuff and locate the "Bd" element, which is a border. Change its RowSpan property to "2".
Last, set the "HorizontalContentAlignment" property of your item to "Stretch" (either on the item or through the style if you need to apply that to several nodes).
Your item should now be the correct width.
Now, this only applies to the item you selected. If you want that to work for any item you add to the treeview, you need to change the "ItemContainerStyle" of the Treeview to the newly created style, and remove the style that Blend placed on the TreeViewItem.
Last but not least, you need to set the ItemContainerStyle of your TreeViewItem to that same style so that its children also extend all the way, and so on and so forth.
So in the end, with your example and a child node on the first item:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<TreeView Margin="3,3,3,3" Name="treeView1" Width="300" ItemContainerStyle="{DynamicResource TreeViewItemStyle1}">
<TreeViewItem HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" ItemContainerStyle="{DynamicResource TreeViewItemStyle1}">
<TreeViewItem.Header>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition Width="30" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">General</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0">Img</Label>
</Grid>
</TreeViewItem.Header>
<TreeViewItem>
<TreeViewItem.Header>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition Width="30" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">General</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0">Img</Label>
</Grid>
</TreeViewItem.Header>
</TreeViewItem>
</TreeViewItem>
The "TreeViewItemStyle1" is the style that Blend created for you.
EDIT
as requested, here's the full style as generated by blend and modified. It is long because it basically is a copy of the built-in style with minor modifications.
