I want to create a WPF TreeView that contains TreeViewItems that stretch to fill the available space. I modified the TreeViewItem template using this as a guide: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/cabcb3ba-80c0-4367-85b7-9b55adc81e65/stretch-treeview-items?forum=wpf and this works well as I want the one character grid components on the right hand side to be right aligned and for the long TextBlock to take up the available space - see code below where the header for one of my TreeViewItems is a grid.
However, when I resize the window by dragging on the right hand side towards the left hand side, when there isn't enough space for all the grid components, I was expecting the long TextBlock with content "A long, long, ..." to start to shrink in width, but instead the TextBlocks on the right hand side get cut off by the right hand side window edge.
If I create a completely new example featuring a grid and put the grid mentioned above inside one of the grid cells (essentially emulating the grid that is used in the TreeView template) then it resizes as I expect: the TextBlock shrinks in width as I resize.
Any ideas what changes I can make to either the TreeViewItem template or the Header I have specified to get the resizing behavior I want?
