WPF: Custom +- in TreeView

Question

It\'s possible to change the built-in collapse-expand icons of TreeView control (+-) to my own icons?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much, Kent! Here is the solution for my case:

<Style x:Key="styleTreeViewExpandCollapse" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
  <Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True"/>
  <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
        <Image x:Name="image" Source="images/img1.ico" />
        <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
          <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="true">
            <Setter TargetName="image" Property="Source" Value="images/img2.ico" />
          </Trigger>
        </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
      </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="styleTreeView" TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
  <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TreeViewItem}">
        <Grid>
          <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition MinWidth="19" Width="Auto"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
          </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
          <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition/>
          </Grid.RowDefinitions>
          <ToggleButton Grid.Column="0" x:Name="Expander"
                        Style="{StaticResource styleTreeViewExpandCollapse}"
                        IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsExpanded,
                            RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
                        ClickMode="Press"
                        Width="16" Height="16"/>
          <ContentPresenter Grid.Column="1" x:Name="PART_Header"
                            ContentSource="Header"
                            HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"/>
          <ItemsPresenter x:Name="ItemsHost"
                          Grid.Row="1"
                          Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"/>
        </Grid>
        <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
          <Trigger Property="IsExpanded" Value="false">
            <Setter TargetName="ItemsHost" Property="Visibility"
                    Value="Collapsed"/>
          </Trigger>
          <Trigger Property="HasItems" Value="false">
            <Setter TargetName="Expander" Property="Visibility" 
                    Value="Hidden"/>
          </Trigger>
          <MultiTrigger>
            <MultiTrigger.Conditions>
              <Condition Property="HasHeader" Value="false"/>
              <Condition Property="Width" Value="Auto"/>
            </MultiTrigger.Conditions>
            <Setter TargetName="PART_Header" Property="MinWidth" Value="75"/>
          </MultiTrigger>
          <MultiTrigger>
            <MultiTrigger.Conditions>
              <Condition Property="HasHeader" Value="false"/>
              <Condition Property="Height" Value="Auto"/>
            </MultiTrigger.Conditions>
            <Setter TargetName="PART_Header" Property="MinHeight" Value="19"/>
          </MultiTrigger>
        </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
      </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
</Style>

Icons img1.ico and img2.ico are an arrows.

Unfortunately, you will need to retemplate the TreeViewItem to achieve that. This default style may help get you started. Note the paths that will need to be substituted for your images.

<Style x:Key="TreeViewItemFocusVisual">
  <Setter Property="Control.Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate>
        <Rectangle/>
      </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
</Style>
<Style x:Key="ExpandCollapseToggleStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
  <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False"/>
  <Setter Property="Width" Value="19"/>
  <Setter Property="Height" Value="13"/>
  <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}">
        <Border Width="19" Height="13" Background="Transparent">
          <Border SnapsToDevicePixels="true" Width="9" Height="9"
                  BorderBrush="#FF7898B5" BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="1">
            <Border.Background>
              <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="1,1" StartPoint="0,0">
                <GradientStop Color="White" Offset=".2"/>
                <GradientStop Color="#FFC0B7A6" Offset="1"/>
              </LinearGradientBrush>
            </Border.Background>
            <Path x:Name="ExpandPath"
                  Margin="1,1,1,1"
