I'm having problems trying to set a user control to 100% height of the second row of the grid. My UserControl has no attributes for width/height (Auto). The code below puts the user control over the Label control... I haven't the slightest clue what I may doing wrong. Any ideas?
<Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Background="White" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<sdk:Label Content="Task Configuration" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Bold" Background="#1E000000" Grid.Row="0" Padding="5,0,0,0" >
</sdk:Label>
<my:TaskConfig Grid.Row="1" Height="Auto" />
</Grid>

As the title of the post, I want to make a GridView which can wrap all of it's contents inside, it means if I have 3 items, each of them has 50px of height, so how to make a GridView contains these item that has 50*3=150px of height.
How to do that, please help me!
P/s: I want to do it by configuring XAML code, not in C# code, thanks!
I found out the answer! Just set the height of the GridView to Auto by make it inside a Grid row.
<Grid Grid.Row="0"
Margin="12,24">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="64" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Opacity=".8"
Background="White"
Height="64">
<Grid Margin="8">
<TextBlock Text="Students"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="24" />
</Grid>
<Grid Height="2"
VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
Background="#B0BEC5" />
</Grid>
<GridView Background="White"
Name="grvMatchGA"
Grid.Row="1"
ItemTemplate="{ThemeResource groupItemTemplate}"
Opacity=".8"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
</GridView>
</Grid>
If you don't provide height for gridview but it's children, it automatically takes the height equivalent to sum of children's height.
For example, you can do something like this-
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBox Grid.Row="0"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="1"/>
<Button Grid.Row="2"/>
</Grid>
I have the following XAML source to demonstrate what I am working on.
I want, when resizing the group vertically, is to have the first groupbox expand, up to its max height, then, when that is reached, expand the third groupbox.The third groupbox has a min height property, as well.
<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" x:Name="Screen_1_Name"
x:Class="TestExpansionScreens.Screen_1"
Width="400" Height="400">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<GroupBox Header="Thing1" Background="LightGreen" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" MaxHeight="350">
<Button Content="Stuff1" />
</GroupBox>
<GroupBox Header="Thing2" Background="LightBlue" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
<TextBox Text="Stuff2" Height="60" />
</GroupBox>
<GroupBox Header="Thing3" Background="Pink" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0">
<TextBox Text="Stuff3" />
</GroupBox>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Normally, when I just want a single control expanded to fill the available space, I use a DockPanel. I've built this example with all kinds of assortments of grids and dockpanels, however, I have been unable to resolve how to make it work. Any idea on how to make it happen?
Thanks
You have to set the MaxHeight on your first RowDefinition, not on the GroupBox. The row will grow up to that height and then all excess space will be occupied by the third row. You can also add a MinHeight to the third row.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition MaxHeight="350" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition MinHeight="150" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<GroupBox Header="Thing1" Background="LightGreen" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">
<Button Content="Stuff1" />
</GroupBox>
<GroupBox Header="Thing2" Background="LightBlue" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
<TextBox Text="Stuff2" Height="60" />
</GroupBox>
<GroupBox Header="Thing3" Background="Pink" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0">
<TextBox Text="Stuff3" />
</GroupBox>
</Grid>
I have a Window with a Grid inside:
<Grid KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" MinHeight="70" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="25" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ContentControl Grid.Row="0" Content="{Binding ChildViewModel.View}" />
<DockPanel Grid.Row="1" Visibility="{Binding SearchResultViewVisibility}">
<GridSplitter DockPanel.Dock="Top" Background="LightGray" Height="5" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsTabStop="False"/>
<Views:SearchResultView DataContext="{Binding SearchResultViewModel}" />
</DockPanel>
<UserControls:GradientBackgroundControl Grid.Row="2" Height="25">
<Validators:FocusSummaryControl x:Name="FocusSummary" ValidateOnlyFocusedElement="False" />
</UserControls:GradientBackgroundControl>
</Grid>
The ContentControl gets a UserControl with this Grid set:
<Grid KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition Height="35" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="80" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="80" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="80" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="4">
<StackPanel>
...
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
The problem now is, that the ScrollViewer in the UserControl doesn't scroll. The content of the UserControl set to the ContentControl is heigher and the overflow ist just hidden.
If I am not wrong, StackPanel requires a Height to be set for scroll functionality to work because StackPanel, by design, grows in one direction (based on Orientation).
To confirm whether this is the cause of your problem, please test by setting the height of StackPanel to a fixed height. Alternately, you may want to replace the StackPanel with say DockPanel and see the behaviour. Also there is a ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll property that you may want to fiddle with.
Let us know the result of this test.
I think you need to rearrange things a little bit. My suggestions (I'm sure there are infinite variations that would work):
First, add a new row to your grid (Height="Auto") and set the height of your top row (with your ContentControl in it) to "*"
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" MinHeight="70" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="25" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
Second, move your GridSplitter out of the DockPanel. Put the splitter in row 1 and the dockpanel in row 2.
<ContentControl Grid.Row="0" Content="{Binding ChildViewModel.View}" />
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Background="LightGray" Height="5" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsTabStop="False" ResizeBehavior="PreviousAndNext"/>
<DockPanel Grid.Row="2" Visibility="{Binding SearchResultViewVisibility}">
<Views:SearchResultView DataContext="{Binding SearchResultViewModel}" />
</DockPanel>
Note that you'll probably also have to set the ResizeBehavior for your GridSplitter as shown above. I hope this will get you close to what you want.
I can't figure out how to manage properly the width of a grid column with a user control in one of its cell. I have this xaml for a window:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Row="0" Content="Button" Width="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="1" />
<local:UserControl1 Grid.Row="2"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Grid>
and the user control is a drawing set to stretch as needed:
<UserControl x:Class="WpfApplication1.UserControl1"
Height="auto" Width="auto">
<Grid Background="Aqua">
<Path Fill="Coral" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1"
Stretch="Uniform"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Path.Data>
<RectangleGeometry Rect="40,20, 140,30" RadiusX="10" RadiusY="10" />
</Path.Data>
</Path>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
To help I have set the user control background in blue.
I would like to have the width of the column ignoring the "natural" size of the user control. I mean I would like the user control to not determine the width during the layout of the column, but to adjust its width to whatever is the width of the column.
In the example, initially the Grid would set the column width to the value of the button, and the user control would use the column width to resize itself. Then if a long text is entered in the Textbox, as soon as the Textbox starts to be wider than the button, and the column starts to be resized as well, in turn the user control would adjust to maintain the same size than the column.
I've tried combinations of stretch values, and also have used MeasureOverride() in the user control. The latter doesn't work because the AvalaibleSize received is Infinity, not the column width.
I was able to achieve what (I believe) you're looking for by giving the TextBox a name, and binding the width of the UserControl to the ActualWidth of the TextBox. Here's the code for the Window's Grid:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Row="0" Content="Button" Width="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<TextBox Grid.Row="1" x:Name="entryTextBox" />
<local:UserControl1 Grid.Row="2"
Width="{Binding ElementName=entryTextBox, Path=ActualWidth}"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Grid>
Hope that helps!
Old question, so it will probably not help OP anymore, but it may help others:
Put UserControl1 inside a Canvas. Then bind the Width to the ActualWidth of the parent Grid.
Example:
<Grid Name="mainGrid">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Something Grid.Row="0"/>
<Canvas Grid.Row="1">
<MyControl Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=mainGrid, Mode=OneWay}"/>
</Canvas>
</Grid>
The canvas will take the available width, but will never ask Grid for more.
The controls inside the canvas get no size from Canvas, so you must give it a size manually. In this case, we want to give it the size of the parent Grid.
I've been pulling my hair out all day on this. For some reason when I set up my grid while I'm using some custom controls the actual height of the grid rows changes around and doesn't bother to use the height values that I give it. I originally thought it was because I was loading in custom controls in the code, but even when I take the custom controls out the problem remains. Here's what I have for the xaml
<Window x:Class="Pokemon_Planner.PokePlan"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

<StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="6" Name="moveStackPanel"></StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
The row that was set to have a height of 48 still had that height set, but the 'actual height' was 446 which is still really screwing my grid up. The numbers vary and I've tried a lot of different combinations between set numbers and auto but I can't seem to get this one window to behave correctly. Any ideas?
you might want to change "row2" grid row height definition to "auto" and set height to 48 for the "scrollViewerMoves" scrollviewer. Smth like this:
...
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" x:Name="row2"></RowDefinition>
...
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Height = "48" Name="scrollViewerMoves" >
...
I guess this should do what you need,
