Toolbar buttons are listed vertically

I have a problem with a toolbar in my application, the buttons on the toolbar are for some reason presented vertically on the toolbar and not horizontally as they normally are..

This is a snippet from the mainwindow.xaml file there the toolbartray and toolbar are declared:

XML

<ToolBarTray Orientation="Horizontal" DockPanel.Dock="Top"  x:Name="toolBarTray" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="{DynamicResource MyBrightBlueSolidBrush1}">
       <ToolBar Visibility="{Binding Path=ActiveConfigWorkspace.HasCommands, Converter={StaticResource VisibilityOfBool}}" IsEnabled="True" IsHitTestVisible="True" x:Name="configToolBar" Style="{DynamicResource MyMenuToolBarWithWrapStyle}" Background="{DynamicResource MyBrightBlueSolidBrush1}">
        <ContentControl
                Content="{Binding Path=ActiveConfigWorkspace.Commands}"
                ContentTemplate="{StaticResource WorkspaceMenuTemplate}"
            />
    </ToolBar>
    </ToolBarTray>

and this is a snippet form a resource dictionary where content template for the toolbar content is declared:

XML

<DataTemplate x:Key="WorkspaceMenuTemplate" DataType="x:Type vm:WorkspaceViewModel">
    <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}">
        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Button Command="{Binding Path=Command}"
                        Content="{Binding Path=DisplayName, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True, NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                        Style="{DynamicResource MyButtonStyle}" Background="{DynamicResource MyBrightBlueSolidBrush2}" BorderBrush="{DynamicResource MyDarkBlueSolidBrush}" BorderThickness="0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5">
                </Button>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    </ItemsControl>
</DataTemplate>

I can not figure out what is causing the buttons to be listed vertically, so any help on this would be highly apreciated! :)

Hi,
In your xaml resource, the itemspanel template is not specified, that is it uses the default template. If you have to display the contents horizontally try either of the following.

XML

<DataTemplate x:Key="WorkspaceMenuTemplate" DataType="x:Type vm:WorkspaceViewModel">
        <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}">
            <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <WrapPanel/>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
            <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Button Command="{Binding Path=Command}"
                        Content="{Binding Path=DisplayName, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True, NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                        Style="{DynamicResource MyButtonStyle}" Background="{DynamicResource MyBrightBlueSolidBrush2}" BorderBrush="{DynamicResource MyDarkBlueSolidBrush}" BorderThickness="0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5">
                    </Button>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        </ItemsControl>
    </DataTemplate>

OR

XML

<DataTemplate x:Key="WorkspaceMenuTemplate" DataType="x:Type vm:WorkspaceViewModel">
        <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}">
            <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
            <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <Button Command="{Binding Path=Command}"
                        Content="{Binding Path=DisplayName, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True, NotifyOnTargetUpdated=True, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                        Style="{DynamicResource MyButtonStyle}" Background="{DynamicResource MyBrightBlueSolidBrush2}" BorderBrush="{DynamicResource MyDarkBlueSolidBrush}" BorderThickness="0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5">
                    </Button>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        </ItemsControl>
    </DataTemplate>
