  <StackPanel.Style>
    <Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">

        <Style.Triggers>

          <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=cmbBxService, Path=SelectedItem.Content}" Value="Item01">

            <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" />

          </DataTrigger>

        </Style.Triggers>

    </Style>

  </StackPanel.Style>

</StackPanel>



and i am using
GitHub - ghost1372/HandyControls: Contains some simple and commonly used WPF controls based on HandyControl[^]

and add SideMenu from HandyControls even if i use Treeview

what i need is to collapse StackPanels by user chooses in "SideMenu" or "Treeview"

<hc:SideMenu
    x:Name="MySideMenu"
    Grid.Column="0"
    Width="200"
    Margin="5"
    BorderThickness="1"
    SelectionChanged="MySideMenu_SelectionChanged">

    <hc:Interaction.Triggers>
        <hc:EventTrigger EventName="SelectionChanged">
            <hc:EventToCommand Command="{Binding SwitchItemCmd}" PassEventArgsToCommand="True" />
        </hc:EventTrigger>
    </hc:Interaction.Triggers>

    <hc:SideMenuItem Header="Overview" IsSelected="True">

        <hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>
            <Image
                Width="24"
                Height="24"
                Source="/Folder/01.png" />
        </hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>

        <hc:SideMenuItem
            x:Name="MySummary"
            Header="Summary"
            IsSelected="False">
            <hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>
                <TextBlock Text="" />
            </hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>
        </hc:SideMenuItem>

        <hc:SideMenuItem Header="Dashboards">
            <hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>
                <TextBlock Text="" />
            </hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>
        </hc:SideMenuItem>

        <hc:SideMenuItem Header="Wiki">
            <hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>
                <TextBlock Text="" />
            </hc:SideMenuItem.Icon>
        </hc:SideMenuItem>
    </hc:SideMenuItem>

</hc:SideMenu>



    <StackPanel
        Width="200"
        Height="200"
        Background="Red">
        <StackPanel.Style>
            <Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">

                <Style.Triggers>

                    <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=MySideMenu, Path=Header}" Value="Summary">

                        <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" />

                    </DataTrigger>

                </Style.Triggers>

            </Style>

If you're "new" to WPF, don't confuse yourself with third party tools; there is enough native functionality to keep you busy and in less trouble.

You need to contact the owner of that library.

this not work in treeview even not only HandyControls

The code posted above has nothing to do with the TreeView control. Here is a primer on the TreeView control: A simple TreeView example - The complete WPF tutorial[^]

The second example "doesn't work" because "SideMenu" is NOT inside the stack panel you're collapsing; and since a StackPanel is not visible unless it has a background color, you only think it's not working.
