How do I swallow the dropdown behavior inside an Expander.Header?
- by Peter Seale
Hello,
I would like to prevent an Expander from expanding/collapsing when users click inside the header area. This is basically the same question as Q 1396153, but I'd appreciate a more favorable answer :)
Is there a non-invasive way to do this? I am not sure exactly how to attach behavior to the Expander.Header content to prevent mouseclicks. I'm willing to float in content outside the expander itself via a fixed grid layout, but I'm not keen on the solution. Ideas?
XamlPad sample XAML:
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" >
<Expander>
<Expander.Header><TextBlock>When I click this text, I don't want to trigger expansion/collapse! Only when I click the expander button do I want to trigger an expand/collapse!</TextBlock></Expander.Header>
<Grid Background="Red" Height="100" Width="100" >
</Grid>
</Expander>
</Page>
