WPF Expander.Header horizontal stretch
Expander
header content presenter has horizontal alignment set to Left
.
You can change it to Stretch
using OneWayToSource
binding of HorizontalAlignment
(which is by default Stretch
for Grid
) like this:
<Expander>
<Expander.Header>
<Grid Background="Yellow">
<TextBlock Text="Header"
HorizontalAlignment="{Binding HorizontalAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ContentPresenter}, Mode=OneWayToSource}" />
</Grid>
</Expander.Header>
</Expander>
P.S.: it took me more than it should to understand the solution of accepted answer, so I decide to save the time for future readers.
I was able to get content stretching in the header to work using the xaml provided below. Basically I data bind the grids HorizontailAlignment to the content presenter ancestor. Unfortunatley the solution provided by scher (data binding to ActualWidth) can cause ui elements to be displayed wider then there container resulting in controls being partially cut off.) Bolu's link to the article "Stretching Content in an Expander Header" uses code behind where as this example uses pure xaml.
<ItemsControl x:Name="ItemGroups" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Model.ItemGroups}" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" >

<Expander.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="{Binding Path=HorizontalAlignment, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ContentPresenter}}, Mode=OneWayToSource}" >

<ColumnDefinition Width="64"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBox Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding TotalCostString}" Margin="4,0"/>
<Button Grid.Column="2" Command="{Binding DataContext.RemoveItemGroup, ElementName=ItemGroups, Mode=OneWay}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" Content="Remove"/>
</Grid>
