WPF TreeView with right alignment values - wpf

Question

I have a problem with my wpf treeview. It's code goes like this:
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:MyTreeItem}" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Value}" DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Display}" DockPanel.Dock="Left"/>
</DockPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
Where MyTreeItem is a simple class with 2 String properties (Display and Value) and a List of MyTreeItem called Items.
I need the tree view to display all 'Values' aligned to the right, while maintaining the tree tabulation of the items 'Display', based on it's deepth.
I have tryed to set the dockPanel to a fixed width, but that didn't work.
I want to do this without any c# code, just xaml.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand your question correctly you want to Stretch the TreeViewItems and align Value to the right. To get the TreeViewItems to Stretch Horizontaly you'll need to edit the Template for TreeViewItem. The problem is explained here: http://leecampbell.blogspot.com/2009/01/horizontal-stretch-on-treeviewitems.html
Here is an edited version of the TreeViewItem which does this. Note that you'll have to add a reference to PresentationFramework.Aero for this to work
Sample
<TreeView ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Items}"
Grid.RowSpan="2"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource StretchTreeViewItemStyle}">
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type m:MyTreeItem}" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Value}" DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Display}" DockPanel.Dock="Left"/>
</DockPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>

class StretchedTreeView : TreeView {
protected override void OnItemContainerStyleChanged(Style oldItemContainerStyle, Style newItemContainerStyle) {
base.OnItemContainerStyleChanged(oldItemContainerStyle, newItemContainerStyle);
newItemContainerStyle.Setters
.Add(new EventSetter(LoadedEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(TreeViewItem_Loaded)));
}
void TreeViewItem_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
TreeViewItem item = sender as TreeViewItem;
if (item == null) {
return;
}
ContentPresenter cp = FindVisualChild<ContentPresenter>(item);
cp.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;
Border border = FindVisualChild<Border>(item, "Bd");
border.SetValue(Grid.ColumnSpanProperty, 2);
}
static T FindVisualChild<T>(DependencyObject obj, string name = null) where T : DependencyObject {
for (int i = 0 ; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(obj) ; i++) {
DependencyObject child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(obj, i);
if (child != null && child is T
&& (name == null || !(child is FrameworkElement) || name == ((FrameworkElement) child).Name)) {
return (T) child;
}
else {
