I would like to use an expander control, however I want the expansion indicator to be on the right side of the text. Is this possible with the Expander control, or will I need to try and get tricky with my layout? I have found that I can set the "FlowDirection" property to RightToLeft and it will put the text and button aligned to the right, but then I have to set my text to "...More Details" rather than "More Details..." and I also have to set the FlowDirection to LeftToRight on all of the child items within that expander. It just seems like this is a hack.

I am using C#, Visual Studio 2008, and the 3.0 framework.

Hey Guys, I am attempting to drop a WPF User Control onto a Windows Form, and I am getting a weird black border that only shows up on the left hand side of the control. It seems like it is coming from the ElementHost, but it does not have any border properties. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know how I can fix it?

I was just checking up on your blog. Good stuff. I really appreciate your help with this. I had a little bit of both in my attempts, I just could never get the right "combo". Thanks again.

Thanks Karl, You Rock! :-D

hmm. I must have something wrong. My code is below. When I select the item that is longer than the width of the combobox it does not show the ellipsis characters. Any thing that you can see that I am doing wrong?

Hi Karl, Thank you for the reply. I actually did see this article before posting. I could not get it to work. How do I set the DataTemplate for the combobox?

Hi all, I am really new to WPF and I am trying to create a combo box that has the ability to display an ellipses character if the text is too long (for the selected item). Can anyone help?
