Column Groups lost when styling GridViewHeaderRow

[Matthew Kruczek]

Good morning,

I am trying to style the GridViewHeaderRow.  The first thing I did was copy the exact template via blend as your instructions have directed me to do.  Currently the only thing I'm changing is background color, as shown below.  As soon as I do that I lose the Column groups that I have created.  Any ideas?

Hello Matthew,

 

Looking at your code by some reason the CommonHeaderPresenter, which is responsible for displaying CommonColumnHeaders is missing. I have prepared small repro project which contains the default template of GridViewHeaderRow, modified its Background and everything works fine. 
Will you please take a look at the attached app and let me know how it goes?

That seemed to fix it!  yay!

While I have your ear, is there any way I can put a button on the Column Groups box?  Basically I want to be able to collapse the group down to one column and then uncollapse it as well.
