In my List view I use a grid to arrange the controls of list view item
here is the code
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border>
<!--<Label Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="3" Background="LightGray"></Label>-->
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" MinWidth="220" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="65*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="25*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding Path=Name}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Text="{Binding PlanDate.DateValue,StringFormat=d}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="{Binding Owner}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Text="{Binding ForecastDate.DateValue,StringFormat=d}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
<!--<Label Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="3" Background="LightGray"></Label>-->
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
Here the text blocks in grid coloumn 2 horizontal alignment is set to right .. still the texblocks are not been placed at the right . Am i doing some mistake here? Please advise
Try adding HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" to your ListView (the default value is Left and that's why you see it's not stretched).
You can remove HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" MinWidth="220" in your inner Grid.

I have three group box top dock, second left dock and last one is for right dock.
When I want to resize form with mouse right group box doesn't want to stretch when
I resize form.
Your layout seems very over complicated - are you just trying to clone what you did in Winforms in WPF?
It doesn't make any sense to have StackPanels or a Grid with only one child control each.
Try replacing your DockPanel with appropriately sized Grid Rows and Columns.
The GroupBoxes won't resize if you hard code their widths.
There's no need to define an ItemTemplate for the ListBox just to display a single string.
Something like the following would be a good starting point for your layout.
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="4*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="135" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<GroupBox Header="Client" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="5">

I have to put 2 buttons in this same row and column on grid
i don't want use margin or vertical position, but i want to their positions is:
on upper than second.
how to simply do that?
i did this by:
<button1 verticalAligment="top" />
<button2 verticalAligment="bottom" />
but how to do that better way?
Try This.
<telerik:RadGridView Name="AppsGridView" AutoGenerateColumns="False" IsReadOnly="True">
<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
<telerik:GridViewColumn>
<telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

Use Wrappanel as follows
<Wrappanel Orientation="Horizontal"><button1 HorizontalAlignment="Left"/><button2 HorizontalAlignment="Right" /></Wrappanel>
I have the following window with some input textboxes. But these textboxes will not expand to fill the remaining space of the second column. Furthermore when the window resizes the textboxes doesn't resize accordingly,
Here is my window

Is there away to expand the textboxes to fill the remaining space in the second column?
Is there away to make the textboxes resize with the form resize?
You have the Width hardcoded, so it is always going to stay the same. Remove it, and change the alignment to stretch
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" Margin="3" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
Just a note, if somebody facing with the same problem:
For me the problem was that I use the SharedSizeGroup on the grid for both of my 2 columns.
If i deleted the sharedsizegroup="b" on the columns what is *, the problem solved.
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"
Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<Grid Margin="0 10">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="a" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" **SharedSizeGroup="b"**/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Size (m): " />
<TextBox x:Name="RealObjSize"
Grid.Column="1"
MinWidth="50"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
TextChanged="RealObjSize_OnTextChanged" />
</Grid>
<Grid Margin="0 10">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="a" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" **SharedSizeGroup="b"**/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="Distance (m): " />
<TextBox x:Name="RealObjDist"
Grid.Column="1"
MinWidth="50"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
TextChanged="RealObjDist_OnTextChanged" />
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
just put HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" and remove the Width
I have an issue I cannot figure out. I hope I can explain things enough.
Basically, I have a usercontrol that I'm looking to use as a sort of in window modal dialog.
<Grid>
<Rectangle Opacity=".75" Fill="White"/>
<Border Width="425" BorderBrush="LightGray" BorderThickness="2" CornerRadius="20,0,20,0" Padding="3">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="15"/>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!-- First Name -->
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Content="First Name:"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding FirstName}" Margin="3"/>
<!-- Last Name -->
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3" Content="Last Name:"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding LastName}" Margin="3"/>
<!-- Address -->
<Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Content="Address:"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" Text="{Binding Address}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="3"/>
<!-- City -->
<Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Content="City:"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding City}" Margin="3"/>
<!-- State -->
<Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Content="State:"/>
<ComboBox Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="3" ItemsSource="{Binding States}" SelectedValue="{Binding State}" Margin="3"/>
<!-- Zip Code -->
<Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="4" Content="Zip Code:"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="5" Text="{Binding ZipCode}" Margin="3"/>
<Button Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="6" Width="100" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Content="Save" Command="{Binding SaveCustomerCommand}"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
I also have a resourcedictionary containing a datatemplate to connect this usercontrol to it's viewmodel.
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:CreateCustomerViewModel}">
<view:CreateCustomerView/>
</DataTemplate>
Finally, in the main window viewmodel, I create an instance of the control's viewmodel, and in the main window view, I am using an itemscontrol and binding it's itemssource property to the instance of the control's viewmodel.
<ItemsControl Height="600" Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding CreateCustomerViewModel}" Grid.RowSpan="2" />
Now, my issue is using the itemscontrol in the main window, I've tried a few different ways, but I cannot get the control to be the height of the window. I'm not sure if I shouldn't be using an itemscontrol, or what I'm doing wrong. Any help is very much appreciated.
ItemsControl is for collections. By default it uses a StackPanel to contain its child elements, which disallows stretching in the stack direction (Vertical by default). For a single item use ContentControl (the base of things like Button and Label) instead:
<ContentControl Height="600" Grid.Row="0" Content="{Binding CreateCustomerViewModel}" Grid.RowSpan="2" />
You could try the following:
Put your ItemsControl in a Grid.
Declare your ItemsControl with VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch".
It shouldn't make any difference because it's the default setting, but declare your ItemsControl with VerticalAlignment="Stretch" and try removing the Height="600".
I'm having a problem with my TextBoxs not "Auto" resizing. I'm trying to create a form that behaves and looks like the Properties Editor in Visual Studio. What appears to be happening is that the third column is not expanding to fill all of the available remaining space in the grid. Image below is how my form looks on startup.
The width of the textboxs is determined by the MinWidth setting on the third ColumnDefinition statement. Also, the Width is set to "*". With any other setting, the resizing done with the GridSplitter doesn't work correctly.
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" VerticalAlignment="Top" x:Name="Stacker" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<Expander x:Name="Expand" IsExpanded="True" Header="This is a test of a Second Panel" Width="{Binding Width, ElementName=Stacker}">
<Grid x:Name="EditGrid1" Margin="3" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="50" SharedSizeGroup="SharedSize1" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="SharedSize2" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="50" x:Name="ValueCol" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" x:Name="ToolBoxSplitter1" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="6" Panel.ZIndex="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ResizeBehavior="PreviousAndNext" Width="3"/>
<TextBlock MaxHeight="40" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Text="{x:Static lex:DoSomeThingView.Name}" />
<TextBlock MaxHeight="40" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2" Text="{x:Static lex:DoSomeThingView.Address}" />
<TextBlock MaxHeight="40" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="3" Text="{x:Static lex:DoSomeThingView.Zip}" />
<TextBlock MaxHeight="40" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="4" Text="{x:Static lex:DoSomeThingView.NumberOfDoors}" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True" />
<TextBlock MaxHeight="40" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="5" Text="{x:Static lex:DoSomeThingView.DoubleNumber}" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" x:Name="UserName1" MaxHeight="50" TextWrapping="Wrap"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" SpellCheck.IsEnabled="True" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2" x:Name="Address1" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="3" x:Name="Zip1" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="4" x:Name="NumberOfDoors1" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="5" x:Name="DoubleNumber1" />
</Grid>
</Expander>
</StackPanel>
Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Have a check once again of any style being set globally because your layout worked perfectly fine with me.
try overriding your textbox style by a local resource
<StackPanel.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}"/>
</StackPanel.Resources>
