I could not find a forum for the Expander control, so if this is in the wrong place I can re-post or maybe this post can be moved.
I am not sure if the Expander is meant to be used alone but (I see it used with a PiviotChart in the samples). I would like to use it to hold a series of input controls. The idea is the user fills out the form in the Expander and click OK and the results are shown next to the Expander, possibly a DataGrid. So its simple, a two column layout with the Expander containing input controls (aka a form) in the first column and a DataGrid in the second column showing results.
My question is ... is there a way to hide the header at the top of the Expander? Even when I do not have anything set for the Header it still shows an empty Header at the top. I would very much like to hide the whole header control.
Thanks,

Thanks for the info. I did eventually get this to work but in the end I went a different direction. It might be a nice little feature if the Expander had a boolean property HideHeader. Thanks.
I am just checking the progress of this issue and was wondering if you managed to achieve your goal or if you need any further assistance on the matter.
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I created a sample project for you with the functionality you want. Basically I copied the default Style of the Expander and added a Trigger to hide the Rectangle that contains the Header if the Header Property of the Expander is not set. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
