I want text in column 3 wrap and have no horizontal scrollbar. Why doesn't this work?
<ItemsControl x:Name="listMessages" ItemsSource="{Binding Messages}" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Column1"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Column2"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" SharedSizeGroup="Column3"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Column4"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Text1" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="Text2" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="Very long text that should wrap to the next line, but it doesn't work" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="3" Text="Text4" />
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
Items take more width than is available to ItemsControl. Same problem is with ListBox.
I tried to add ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollbarVisibility=Disabled both on ItemsControl and Grid, but this doesn't help.
The text will be wrapped if you don't set the SharedSizeGroup property:
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
Text wrapping and shared size groups don't go well together. You may want to specify a fixed MaxWidth for the ColumnDefinition or the TextBlock.

Im trying to make it so that the textbox will fill the rest of the space inside the current StackPanel.
however the "Stretch" propety doesn't seem to work - why is that?
Is there a different way do it or what am I doing wrong?
A StackPanel always tries to achieve the minimum possible height/width, depending on orientation; therefore, Stretch has no effect. You might want to use a DockPanel instead, which allows children to stretch:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="25*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="49*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="25*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1"
Margin="30"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
<DockPanel>
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Left" Margin="0,0,5,0"
Text="Username:" />
<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
</DockPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
I am trying to make TextBox to wrap text and grow with the Window. That works if I don't set ScrollViewer's HorizontalScrollBarVisibility property. But if I do, TextBox will grow infinitely. The problem is solved by setting MaxWidth property to the TextBox, but in that case TextBox does not grow beyond the MaxWidth value. My idea was then to bind MaxWidth to ColumnDefinition's ActualWidth, but that also doesn't work because ColumnDefinition's ActualWidth property is not a DependencyProperty. Here is my code:
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="Name:" Margin="5" />
<TextBox MinWidth="200" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" AcceptsReturn="True" Margin="5"/>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Try this:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Name:" Margin="5" />
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBox MinWidth="200" TextWrapping="Wrap" AcceptsReturn="True" Margin="5" MaxWidth="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ScrollViewer}}}" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
Is there a way to evenly layout radiobuttons including the radiobutton text? I have tried StackPanel with Orientation=Horizontal, DockPanel and UniformGrid but I have not achieved the exact look I am going for which is an even amount of white space between the controls without having to wrap or truncate the text.
<GroupBox Name="grpLegend" Header="{x:Static res:Strings.ChartOptionsDisplayControlView_GroupBox_Legend}">
<ItemsControl
ItemsSource="{Binding IsAsync=True, Path=AvailablePitchbookLegendPosition}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<RadioButton
Content="{Binding IsAsync=True, Path=DisplayName}"
IsChecked="{Binding IsAsync=True, Path=IsSelected}"
GroupName="LegendPosition"
Margin="2,3.5" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</GroupBox>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<RadioButton Grid.Column="0" Content="Left"/>
<RadioButton Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Content="Center"/>
<RadioButton Grid.Column="2" Content="Right"/>
</Grid>
If this Grid was part of a list's ItemTemplate and you wanted to synchronize the widths of the grid's columns you should use the SharedSizeGroup property.
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="c1"/>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="c2"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="c3"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<RadioButton Grid.Column="0" Content="Left"/>
<RadioButton Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Content="Center"/>
<RadioButton Grid.Column="2" Content="Right"/>
</Grid>
and then on a suitable parent container use the attached property Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="true"
<ListBox Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True" ItemTemplate={StaticResource RadioButtonTemplate}/>
I have a Grid containing a ScrollViewer containing AccessText. I want the AccessText to take up the full width of the ScrollViewer, which should take up the full width of the Grid, without any overflow. Currently, the contents of my AccessText are cut off on the right side of the screen instead of wrapping. I have tried setting AccessText.TextWrapping to Wrap, WrapWithOverflow, and I've also tried removing the property entirely. I switched to using a Grid instead of a StackPanel because I thought that might affect how the contents are sized, but that hasn't helped. Here's what I have:
<Grid MaxHeight="40">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Whee a label:" Grid.Column="0"/>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Column="1" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<AccessText Text="{Binding MyLongTextField}"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
When you set ColumnDefinition Width to Auto, the ScrollViewer within it won't be limited by the "visible Width" of the Column, so it will still take up as much horizontal space as it needs. With the xaml you posted, I think Width="*" will suit your needs. For the ScrollViewer, it seems like you don't want it to be able to Scroll horizontaly but only verticaly? In that case, set HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled". Otherwise you'll get a Horizontal ScrollBar.
<Grid MaxHeight="40">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Whee a label:" Grid.Column="0"/>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Column="1" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<AccessText TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding MyLongTextField}"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
If you simply want the AccessText to wrap indefinitely, modify your second ColumnDefinition from Auto to * and move the AccessText outside of the ScrollViewer as seen below...
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Whee a label:" Grid.Column="0"/>
<AccessText Grid.Column="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding MyLongTextField}"/>
</Grid>
The reason the text would not wrap is because the second ColumnDefinition was set to Auto; which essentially does not force a bounds around the AccessText.
If you want to keep the ScrollViewer try this...
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Whee a label:" Grid.Column="0"/>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Column="1" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<AccessText TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding MyLongTextField}"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
This ended up giving me what I wanted:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Whee a label:" Grid.Column="0"/>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Column="1" MaxHeight="40"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<AccessText Text="{Binding CRData.Error}" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
Thanks to Meleak and Aaron for the suggestion of using * for the column width instead of Auto, and to Meleak for suggesting Disabled for the horizontal scrollbar instead of Auto.
Ok this is what I wish to do.
I have a resizeable window which has 3 controls in same row in flowing order: textBlock, textBox and button.
textBlock and button have dynamic texts. So theirs size depends upon text inside.
Now what I wish to do is that textBox in the middle is always filling up all empty space between textBlock and button.
How do I do that?
I tried with the following code but it doesn't work because of fixed width in 1. and 3. column.
<Grid Margin="0,0,5,0" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="Text1"/>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1"/>
<Button Grid.Column="2" Content="Button1" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
You can use Auto for the two outer column widths instead of specifying the width
<Grid Margin="0,0,5,0" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Text1" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="1"/>
<Button Grid.Column="2" Content="Button1" />
</Grid>
You probably don't need the HorizontalAlignment in the columns either
