I have two grids horizontally and i want to resize the first grid horizontally. so i used Grid Splitter like below,
<Grid x:Name="grid">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition MinHeight="5"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsCollection}" AutoGenerateColumns="True"/>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Height="3" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Red" />
<DataGrid Grid.Row="2" ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsCollection}" AutoGenerateColumns="True"/>
</Grid>
now i'm able to resize it . but i could resize it fully(to the header of a grid). i want to set limit to resizing. i dont want to hide entire grid by resizing. i want to show header and first row always.
I have checked your scenario and Height="Auto" won't work. I have updated grid rows definition. please check below.
<Grid x:Name="grid">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" MinHeight="100"/>
<RowDefinition Height="5"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*" MinHeight="100"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsCollection}" AutoGenerateColumns="True"/>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Height="3" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Red" />
<DataGrid Grid.Row="2" ItemsSource="{Binding ItemsCollection}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" />
</Grid>

I have a WPF Window which has a Tab Control, in the third row of Grid, which contains a DataGrid. The DataGrid is being populated with data from EF and when the data is loaded, the DataGrid is going beyond the bounds of the window.
I've tried various solution (e.g. setting the Vertical/Horizontal Alignments to Stretch) but nothing I have tried worked. Below is a snippet of code up to the first open tag of the DataGrid (there are actually three tabs each with a DataGrid, but they are all the same, just bound to a different data source). With the below XAML, the width binds correct (i.e. the DataGrid doesn't go beyond the right side of the window) but the horizontal part of the DataGrid does go beyond the bottom of the window:
<Grid Margin="5,0,5,0" Background="Blue" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<user_controls:Spinner x:Name="spinner" Grid.RowSpan="3" Panel.ZIndex="1000"/>
<Menu Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<MenuItem Header="Exit" Click="Exit_Click"/>
<MenuItem Header="Save" Command="{StaticResource SaveCommand}"/>
</Menu>
<GroupBox Grid.Row="1" Header="Server Type" Margin="610,0,0,0">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,5,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<RadioButton x:Name="rbTestServer" GroupName="ServerType" Content="TEST" Foreground="Red" IsChecked="true" Checked="ServerType_Checked"/>
<RadioButton x:Name="rbProductionServer" GroupName="ServerType" Content="PRODUCTION" Foreground="Green" Margin="10,0,10,0" Checked="ServerType_Checked"/>
</StackPanel>
</GroupBox>
<TabControl x:Name="tcTables" BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="5" Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" MinHeight="371" Height="auto" MinWidth="782" Width="auto" SelectionChanged="TcTables_SelectionChanged">
<TabItem x:Name="tiChargeType" Header="Charge Type">
<DataGrid x:Name="dgChargeType" Background="#FFE5E5E5" AutoGenerateColumns="False" EnableRowVirtualization="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource vsChargeType}}" Margin="2,10,10,10" RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected" CellEditEnding="CellEditEnding">
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
You have three rows in your grid:
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
Because the third is set to Auto height, it tells it's content to go as big as it likes.
This is the cause of your problem.
Change that to:
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
Then your tab control and hence the datagrid in it will have a height limited to whatever is left after rows 0 and 1.
I can't figure out the syntax to tell the ListView its height is the height of the row that contains the ListView, that is, the ListView's Parent.
This is the xaml in the user control. I have put what I thought would work, but doesn't. I left it there so you would see what I am attempting.
<ListView Grid.Row="1"
Height="{Binding Path=Height,RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Grid.Row}}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Folders}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource FolderListTemplate}"
SelectionMode="Single"
SelectedIndex="1"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="3"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"
/>
Thanks,
Just set the RowDefinition height to Auto, here is my xaml:
<Grid Background="DimGray">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Background="CornflowerBlue"/>
<ListView Grid.Row="1"
x:Name="ListView"
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
SelectionMode="Single"
SelectedIndex="1"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="3"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="True"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="2" Background="CornflowerBlue"/>
</Grid>
And the output:
If you use star notation then the row it is goin to take the available height for the star value you gave, in this case 1* which is the same as *****.
If I modify to use star value as you:
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
The output:
Hope this helps
I'm really new to XAML and Metro and my old HTML skills are not in my advance.
What i want to achive is to have 3 "rows", the top row as some kind of header, the last row as some kind of footer and then a scrollable content area in the middle.
How can I achive this in XAML for Metro?
I've tried the StackPanel but I can't get the middle one to stop expanding and putting my "footer" out or the screen.
read more about WPF Layouts,
Grid in WPF is similar to Table in HTML, you should do this if you want header and footer.
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/> <!--Header-->
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/> <!--Footer-->
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Text="Header"></TextBlock>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1">
<!--your Controls-->
</ScrollViewer>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Text="Footer"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
Try this,
<Grid x:Name="GridName">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="30"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="30"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Text="Header"/>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Grid.Row="1">
<!-- Other Controls -->
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Text="Footer" />
</Grid>
The Grid at the bottom contains a ListBox. It stretches vertically, but the scrollbar does not appear when it reaches the bottom.
Layout --
<RibbonWindow ResizeMode="CanResize">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel>
<Ribbon ... />
<ListBox
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</RibbonWindow>
I have heard that StackPanels can cause this behavior, but replacing it with a Grid causes its own set of issues.
EDIT --
This Layout works -
<RibbonWindow ResizeMode="CanResize">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Ribbon Grid.Row="0" />
<ListBox Grid.Row="1"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
/>
</Grid>
</RibbonWindow>
Turns out I needed the Grid.Row="x" tags, and then I could remove the StackPanel, and everything worked.
I am wondering is there any way to solve this by changing XAML code?
Please look at this sample picture:
What I wants to do is when user dragging GridSeparater No.1, I want to resize thr 3rd row of grid.
This is because in this application, the first and third rows are variable size, but second one is fixed size.
Is that possible?
This is possible with ResizeBehaviour="PreviousAndNext" (Link to MSDN). This enables you to specify which rows should be affected relative to the GridSplitter.
<Grid Width="300" Height="200" Background="Yellow" ShowGridLines="True">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="20"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1"
ResizeDirection="Rows"
ResizeBehavior="PreviousAndNext"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Background="Black"
ShowsPreview="True"
Height="5"
/>
</Grid>
You could try setting both MinHeight and MaxHeight to the same value on the center row which would force recalculation of the bottom section when resizing the top. Something like this:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="50" MaxHeight="50" MinHeight="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
... other content
<GridSplitter Height="3" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<GridSplitter Height="3" Grid.Row="3" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
</Grid>
