Horizontal scroll bar problem in silverlight data grid - silverlight

I'm using silverlight 4 datagrid. I have datagridtextcolumn and also datagrid template column, for them i'm specifying the column with in '*', 'sizetoheader'.
Everything works fine if i have some 20 records in my datagrid, however if my grid have more than 30 records, it's behaving odd. It's like column headers and their columns are not properly aligned, due to this improper alignment, horizontal appears unnecessarily, if i click any of the column header, then everything will be ok. The alignment of column header is exactly with the columns.

This is also happening to me.
In my case, by the moment I set a template to my rows, like this:
<Style TargetType="sdk:DataGridRow">
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="sdk:DataGridRow">

I get an odd behavior, which is everytime I have horizontal scrollbars available, and I use it, the headers get disaligned with the cells of the rows.
For a while, It is working for me if I take the customization of the grid (the codeblock above) from my application, however, I loose some visual styles, which I don't want. If you have it, and do not need it so much, you could try removing it too.

Combo box winrt default style

I have changed my default combo box style like this
<!--ComboBox Background and Border default Changed to Application Theme Style -->
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="#FFFFFFFF" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxBorderThemeBrush" Color="#FFF3A716" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxPressedBorderThemeBrush" Color="#FFF3A716" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxPressedBackgroundThemeBrush" Color="#FFF3A716" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxPopupBorderThemeBrush" Color="#FFF3A716" />
<Thickness x:Key="ComboBoxBorderThemeThickness">1</Thickness>
<Thickness x:Key="ComboBoxPopupBorderThemeThickness">1</Thickness>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxHighlightedBorderThemeBrush" Color="#FFF3A716" />
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="PhoneHighContrastSelectedForegroundThemeBrush" Color="#FFF3A716" />
But the problem is that when combo box has more than 5 elements it opens on whole screen and shows default styles not the one that i have override.
Combo boxes with 5 or less elements have these styles.
Edit: The above Images shows green colour, I want to change this green colour to orange.
This is my combo box with less than 5 elements.
You need to edit the control template for ComboBox. You can fetch it by adding a ComboBox to a Page in "Blend for Visual Studio" and then right-click on the combobox and select "Edit Template"->"Edit a Copy". View source and you will find the complete style template for your ComboBox there.
You should get this:
<Style x:Key="ComboBoxStyle1" TargetType="ComboBox">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{ThemeResource ComboBoxForegroundThemeBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{ThemeResource ComboBoxBackgroundThemeBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{ThemeResource ComboBoxBorderThemeBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{ThemeResource ComboBoxBorderThemeThickness}"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{ThemeResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{ThemeResource ContentControlFontSize}"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/>
<Setter Property="Template">

In this template (which you can now paste into your page or style resource file where you have your combobox) you will find much more to edit regarding the style, for example you can edit the foreground text color of the closed combobox with more than 5 elements by adding a Foreground attribute to the x:Name="FlyoutButton" Button element.
This article also additionally explains editing the style of a ComboBox:

How can i change wpf listview selected Item style same as selected item in windows 8 store application?

I want to change listview selected item style in wpf same as it shown in my Windows 8 store application, attached image can be use for reference.
Image link
purple border and tick mark at top right corner.
More than likely, you will need to modify the actual control template of the ListView.
You'd probably use the ListBox control rather than the WPF's ListView since WPF's ListBox is closer to WinRT/XAML's ListView. Then you'd want to set ListBox.ItemContainerStyle to something resembling WinRT/XAML's ListViewItem style, which you can see a version of here.

Can I change CheckBox color in LongListMultiSelector? WP8

I need to change the color for the LongListMultiSelector's CheckBox in Windows Phone 8, because my background is white, this is possible?
Thanks.
In order to do that you have to first edit the ItemContainerSyle by right clicking on the longlistselector from document outline in visual studio and then choose Edit Additional Style -> Edit ItemContainerSyle -> Create Empty
Then you have to replace the setters for the generated template with the original setter code from codeplex.
the following setters code centers the check boxes and makes then grey:
<Style.Setters>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="toolkit:LongListMultiSelectorItem">
<Grid MinHeight="52">
<Grid.Resources>
<ExponentialEase EasingMode="EaseIn" Exponent="8" x:Key="ExponentialEaseIn"/>

Now the check box will appear as grey but the actual ticks inside will still be white (since they inherit from the mobile's resources).
What you can do is edit the check box style as well with the same way.

For a while, if I take the customization off of the grid (the codeblock above) from my application it works, however, I loose some visual styles, which I don't want to.
I particularly don't understand WHAT in my stylization could make it happen, for I don't fully understand it. Would someone know?
Thanks in advance.

My problem was solved by putting the template code inside the grid definition, not outside, like I was doing.
Highlight entire rows only in Silverlight DataGrid

The Silverlight 3 Toolkit styles prevent the displaying of SL 3.0 data validation errors

If I apply a style from the SL 3.0 Toolkit to my application the built in SL 3.0 data validation errors are not displayed on the application edit forms. If I removed the code that applies the toolkit style to the application the SL 3.0 data validation errors appear as per normal SL 3.0 behaviour?
Has anyone else come across this problem?????
Any help is always appreciated.
Cheers

After a bit of research I managed to find the solution to the problem.
A big shout out to Jesse Liberty for this post
Basically the toolkit style control templates do not contain the necessary visual state groups for the SL 3.0 validation to work.
To fix this I copied the required visual state groups and required template markup from the standard control templates to the toolkit control templates.
ie below are the visual state group for the checkbox control.
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="ValidationStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Valid"/>
<VisualState x:Name="InvalidUnfocused">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ValidationErrorElement" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>Visible</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="InvalidFocused">
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="ValidationErrorElement" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Visibility">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<Visibility>Visible</Visibility>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="validationTooltip" Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsOpen">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<System:Boolean>True</System:Boolean>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
Below is the style for the ValidationErrorElement for a checkbox.
<Border x:Name="ValidationErrorElement" Margin="1" Visibility="Collapsed" BorderBrush="#FFDB000C" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="1" ToolTipService.PlacementTarget="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}">
<ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<ToolTip x:Name="validationTooltip" Template="{StaticResource ValidationToolTipTemplate}" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Placement="Right" PlacementTarget="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}">
<ToolTip.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Canvas.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="validationTooltip" Storyboard.TargetProperty="IsHitTestVisible">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0">
<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
<System:Boolean>true</System:Boolean>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
</DiscreteObjectKeyFrame>
</ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</ToolTip.Triggers>
</ToolTip>
</ToolTipService.ToolTip>
<Grid Height="10" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,-4,-4,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="10" Background="Transparent">
<Path Fill="#FFDC000C" Margin="0,3,0,0" Data="M 1,0 L5,0 A 2,2 90 0 1 7,2 L7,6 z"/>
<Path Fill="#ffffff" Margin="0,3,0,0" Data="M 0,0 L2,0 L 7,5 L7,7"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
You also need to place the control template for Validation tool tip in either a control or application reasource. ie
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ValidationToolTipTemplate">
<Grid x:Name="Root" Margin="5,0" Opacity="0" RenderTransformOrigin="0,0">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="OpenStates">
<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0"/>
<VisualTransition GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.2" To="Open">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="xform" Storyboard.TargetProperty="X">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.2" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Root" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.2" Value="1"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualTransition>
</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>
<VisualState x:Name="Closed">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Root" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Open">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="xform" Storyboard.TargetProperty="X">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="0"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetName="Root" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="1"/>
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<TranslateTransform x:Name="xform" X="-25"/>
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<Border Margin="4,4,-4,-4" Background="#052A2E31" CornerRadius="5"/>
<Border Margin="3,3,-3,-3" Background="#152A2E31" CornerRadius="4"/>
<Border Margin="2,2,-2,-2" Background="#252A2E31" CornerRadius="3"/>
<Border Margin="1,1,-1,-1" Background="#352A2E31" CornerRadius="2"/>
<Border Background="#FFDC000C" CornerRadius="2"/>
<Border CornerRadius="2">
<TextBlock Margin="8,4,8,4" MaxWidth="250" UseLayoutRounding="false" Foreground="White" Text="{Binding (Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
I hope this helps someone out there.
