I have a Grid inside a ListView. If I place the Grid outside of the ListView, it correctly stretches to fill the screen. If I place it within the ListView, it does not. Here's my code
<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<ListView HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<ListViewItem>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="60"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">Title</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1">Text</TextBlock>
<Button Grid.Column="1">Pin</Button>
</Grid>
</ListViewItem>
</ListView>
</Grid>
How do I get the Grid it to stretch and fill the ListView?
You probaby need to set the HorizontalContentAlignment of the ListViewItem to Stretch.

I've got a problem with WPF/XAML. I can't figure out how to let the left Grid (with a centered image inside and backgroud color) grow its height, depending on the autogenerated height on the datagrid on the right.
They both are presented in a global grid. If I set a fixed height on the corresponding row, the autogenerated datagrid shows a cruel vertical line, depending on the fixed row-height I set before.
layout with row-height on auto
layout with fixed row-height, but with ugly line at the bottom
<!--ElementR0C1-->
<Grid Name="test">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="30"/>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!--Width ElementsC1-->
<ColumnDefinition Width="160"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="20"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="500"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!--START-->
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource L1}" VerticalAlignment="Top">Process</Label>
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Background="DDDDDD">
<Image Margin="0,30,0,0" Height="64" Width="64" Source="../../Resources/ok.png" Name="imgJobs" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
<DataGrid x:Name="grdJobs" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Grid.RowSpan="2" Width="500">

So i have this ListView inside TabControl:
<TabControl>
<TabItem Width="70" Height="70" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="1">
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<ListView>
...
</ListView>
</Grid>
<Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
My window ResizeMode is CanResizeWithGrip and when i resize my application i want my ListView to auto resize to according my Window width.
I try to define my ListView HorizontalAlignment Stretch bu when my application width changed my ListView with not.
I believe since your ListView is nested within other controls, those controls would need their HorizontalAlignment set to Stretch. I'm on my phone right now so I'll try out your XAML on my system when I get home and update my answer if I find something else is the culprit.
Edit: I've copied your code into VS and its stretching properly for me. I don't have any contents to check but if I set
<TabControl>
<TabItem Width="70" Height="70" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="1">
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<ListView Background="Black">
</ListView>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
I can see that the control is in fact stretching when I resize the window. Now I'm unsure of what the issue you are running into is. Any chance you could post more details?
I have a wpf user control which has Grid with row definitions as Auto. and controls defined in that in grid. Outside of this this i have scroll viewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility as set to Auto.
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<Grid Margin="5">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="Name" />
<telerik:RadRichTextBox Name="Name" Grid.Row="0" Margin="2"
Padding="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" AcceptsReturn="True"
Height="500" Width="750" DocumentInheritsDefaultStyleSettings="True" FontFamily="Calibri" FontSize="13">
<telerik:RadRichTextBox.Document>
<telerik:RadDocument LineSpacingType="AtLeast" LineSpacing="0"
ParagraphDefaultSpacingAfter="0" ParagraphDefaultSpacingBefore="0">
</telerik:RadDocument>
</telerik:RadRichTextBox.Document>
</telerik:RadRichTextBox>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
I am loading the above control as content of Rad tab item from another view.
I could not able to view vertical scroll bar when i resize the window.
You can do this
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
......
<telerik:RadRichTextBox Grid.Row="1" ......
/>
Im trying to put 4 expander controls inside a Grid with 4 rows, the expander control contains a Grid and a ListBox (Currently holding some sample data).
Ideally when an expander is expanded I want it to fill all the available space without pushing the remaining expanders off the screen or the list box going off the screen. Can anyone think of a way of adapting the XAML below or updating the XAML below to achieve this?
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource ExpanderData}}">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="0.246*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="0.754*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Margin="0" Grid.Row="1">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.275*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.725*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<toolkit:Expander x:Name="Expander1" Header="One" IsExpanded="False">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<ListBox Margin="0" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate}" ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}"/>
</Grid>
</toolkit:Expander>
<toolkit:Expander x:Name="Expander2" Header="Two" IsExpanded="True" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="1">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<ListBox Margin="0" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate1}" ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}"/>
</Grid>
</toolkit:Expander>
<toolkit:Expander x:Name="Expander3" Header="Three" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="2" IsExpanded="False">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<ListBox Margin="0" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate2}" ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}"/>
</Grid>
</toolkit:Expander>
<toolkit:Expander x:Name="Expander4" Header="Four" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="3" IsExpanded="False">
<Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5">
<ListBox Margin="0" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ItemTemplate3}" ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}"/>
</Grid>
</toolkit:Expander>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
I'd probably use a DockPanel instead of a Grid - for Silverlight you'll have to get it from the Silverlight Toolkit (http://silverlight.codeplex.com) - I know you already have it, I'm just referencing it for the archives. Uncheck the "LastChildFill" property and dock all the children to Top.
It's tough to test without adequate data, but what if you just had one Expander open at a time and set the MaxHeight of each Expander to the remaining available space?
In the following example, the leftmost column's width does not increase to accommodate the ListBox's scrollbar that appears when the UserControl's height is decreased:
<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="Example">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">Example text</TextBlock>
<ListBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
<ListBoxItem>One</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Two</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Three</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Four</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Five</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
<Expander Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Header="Expander" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
When the TextBlock with the ColumnSpan attribute is removed the column resizes as expected. Is this a bug in WPF?
It appears this is a known bug with the ListBox scrollbar and the WPF Grid. Microsoft also notes they will probably not have this fixed in 4.0.
