here is my sample project updated from this thread:
WPF: Refine the look of a grouped ComboBox vs. a grouped DataGrid -sample attached –
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ru8hju (VS2010 .Net 4.0 project)
My question is now HOW can I add a “column header” like stackpanel horizontal with 2 TextBlocks ADD to my existing ComboBox ControlTemplate ABOVE the ScrollViewer when I have a custom ComboBoxItem stuff and there is the ItemPresenter in the default ComboBox ControlTemplate.
Thats my existing grouped uneditable ComboBox. Over the Scrollviewr (above the December…) I want 2 Textblocks.
How can I do that with MY XAML code see at the bottom:

UPDATE:
OK very good news, I found my old code again which I thought I lost it somehow 🙂
Below you see the Style for a ComboBox. I have pasted some own xaml there see my comment
inside the ControlTemplate below. There is the Column Header of a former ComboBox.
What I want now is to merge this Column Header with my above project and its custom ComboBoxItem
style.
<Border x:Name="DropDownBorder" BorderBrush="DarkBlue" BorderThickness="2" Background="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.WindowBrushKey}}">
// ColumnHeader START
<StackPanel >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Text="lesson day" />
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Text="week" />
</StackPanel>
// ColumnHeader END
<ScrollViewer x:Name="DropDownScrollViewer" Background="Green">
<Grid RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint="Enabled">
<Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="0">
<Rectangle x:Name="OpaqueRect" Fill="{Binding Background, ElementName=DropDownBorder}" Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=DropDownBorder}" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=DropDownBorder}"/>
</Canvas>
<ItemsPresenter x:Name="ItemsPresenter" KeyboardNavigation.DirectionalNavigation="Contained" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Popup>
<ToggleButton BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" IsChecked="{Binding IsDropDownOpen, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxReadonlyToggleButton}"/>
<ContentPresenter ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemTemplate}" ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ItemTemplateSelector}" Content="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItem}" ContentStringFormat="{TemplateBinding SelectionBoxItemStringFormat}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" IsHitTestVisible="false" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
</Grid>

Hello,
UPDATE 2:
This is the code with a column header but trashed POPUP + Scrollbars do not work properly… I could not post the code due to 30000 chars limitation lol so grab it here:
Update again
Also fixed it in your example, just changed the Popup from the one I had below. Download if from here.
