WPF Groupbox header position alignment

Changing the group-box-header alinment will result in non-OS-conform controls.

Therefore, I think you won't be able to change this using the default styles. A custom template will solve your problem.


It's simple! Just edit Template of GroupBox:

In Blend, do the following :

  • Right click GroupBox > Edit Template > Edit a Copy > OK
  • Search for following section:

    <Border x:Name="Header" Padding="3,1,3,0" 
            Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2">
        ...
    </Border>
    
  • Change Grid.Column to 2

  • Also set HorizontalAlignment="Right"

You have just aligned the header to right!!! But bot the white gap behind it. For that,

  • Now search for following section :

    <Border BorderBrush="White" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CornerRadius="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="3">
        <Border.OpacityMask>
            ...
        </Border.OpacityMask>
        ...
    </Border>
    
  • Add RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" to the border

  • Just above , add following code (this will shift the "white gap" behind header to right:

    <Border.RenderTransform>
        <ScaleTransform ScaleX="-1"/>
    </Border.RenderTransform>
    

You are done! You just got a GroupBox with right aligned header!!!

Please tell me if this is what you required.
