styles - Where can i find the default WPF Control templates?

Question

As per this MSDN link,

There is no way to replace only part of the visual tree of a control; to change the visual tree of a control you must set the Template property of the control to its new and complete ControlTemplate

.

I am trying to disable the click behaviour of GridViewColumnHeader ( I need to remove some triggers in the original control template), but i am not able to find the native "ColumnHeaderContainerStyle". All those i have found seem to have already done some customization and it is being difficult to get the original look and feel.

Can someone please suggest me how/where can i get the original control templates as defined in the native WPF controls?

Thanks for your interest.

In Visual Studio 2015 (at least) you can right click the control in the XAML designer and select "Edit Style->Edit a Copy" to view and edit the default template for a control. Much easier than cracking open Blend, downloading a style viewer, or searching the web.
