I would like to modify the control template for the DataGrid (4.0 version) but I am not sure what the existing template looks like. Does anyone know what it is or where I could find it?

In general: For some WPF control, how can I see the default content the respective control template?

I would recommend going into Blend (if you have it) and extracting the Template. Otherwise, you can get the XAML using XAMLWriter.

This unfortunately named page (I don't think this is really "Kid's Stuff", do you?) has an example of doing both of these things.

In case the page does happen to go away (2009 is pretty far in the rear-view mirror):

// Get the template from the control
YourControlType ctl = new YourControlType();
ctl.UpdateDefaultStyle();
ControlTemplate template = ctl.Template;

// We want our xaml of be properly indented, ohterwise
// we would not be able to indent them.
XmlWriterSettings xmlSettings = new XmlWriterSettings();
xmlSettings.Indent = true;

// Make the string builder
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(sb, xmlSettings);
XamlWriter.Save(template, writer);


// Now the sb.ToString() should give us the template

Here is what i got out of Blend 4:

<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type DataGrid}">
                <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
                    <ScrollViewer x:Name="DG_ScrollViewer" Focusable="false">
                        <ScrollViewer.Template>
                            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ScrollViewer}">
                                <Grid>

there are two great lists of templates/styles on msdn I often use:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/aa970773.aspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970773.aspx

sadly, they are not as advertised as they should be...

so as far as you are concerned, I'd recommend this (got it from the second link): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff506248.aspx

helped me a lot recently!
