I've been researching this for quite long time now, can't find the answer.
How can I display each item in my itemscontrol side by side?
The following code displays each item's content side by side (label and textbox), but the next item is shown underneath. Let's say I have 3 items in my ItemsControl. The current behaviour is:
Label Textbox
Label Textbox
Label Textbox
What I want is:
Label Textbox Label Textbox Label Textbox (side by side)
The current code uses a stack panel whick sets the orientation to horizontal (that's why the label and textbox are side by side). But I need some property or technique to set the itemscontrol content orientation to horizontal. My code:
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Name="pnlText" Orientation="Horizontal" Width="750">
<Label Content="{Binding ParameterDisplayName, Mode=OneWay}" />
<TextBox Name="txtText" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="{Binding ParameterValue, Mode=TwoWay, ValidatesOnExceptions=True, NotifyOnValidationError=True}" Visibility="{Binding ParameterType, Converter={StaticResource ParameterTypeToVisibilityConverter}, ConverterParameter=Text}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks!
You should set this property for your ItemsControl:
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>

Very new to WPF.
<TreeView Grid.Column="0" x:Name="DataTree" MinWidth="175" BorderThickness="0">
<TreeView.Resources>
<HierarchicalDataTemplate DataType="{x:Type self:DispatchTreeTerritoryItem}" ItemsSource="{Binding ClientLocations}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
</StackPanel>
</HierarchicalDataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type self:DispatchTreeClientLocationItem}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ClientName,StringFormat='({0}) '}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Address}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</TreeView.Resources>
</TreeView>
The data in the DispatchTreeClientlocationItem properties (ClientName and Address), do not fit within the width of the treeview. So when the items are created the treeview control expands itsself horizontally to allow all the tree node's text to be visible.
This is not desired behavior. I would like it to behave like WinForms TreeView, where the text is just truncated at the edge of the control. Is that possible in WPF? And how?
UPDATE
Following #Funk's comment and the suggestion in the linked question my TreeView XAML now looks like:
<TreeView x:Name="DataTree" Grid.Column="0" MinWidth="175" BorderThickness="0"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
I've observed no change in the behavior. When node text is too long to fit within the horizontal confines of the TreeView, the TreeView expands horizontally to display all the text.
Here's a couple screenshots to illustrate the problem. When expanding a territory node, the child node's contents cause the TreeView to expand horizontally.
if TreeView is located in a Grid and ColumnDefinition has Width="Auto", expanding is an expected behavior.
Try set MaxWidth (on ColumnDefinition or on TreeView), or proportional width * / fixed width (on ColumnDefinition)
Grid rows (RowDefinition) have similar behavior when their Height is set to Auto
I have a very simple WPF ListView that I'm using to list blocks of text. I'd like it to scroll vertically, but the text should wrap so that there is no horizontal scroll. All the examples I've seen are overly convoluted DataGridView nesting solutions. This seems like such a simple use-case, however. Here is my current code:
<ListView
Height="Auto"
Width="Auto"
Margin="0"
Name="mLogListView"
FontWeight="Bold"
FontSize="16"
SelectionMode="Single"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"/>
I've tried setting the ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility and HorizontalContentAlignment properties but the text simply runs off the end of the control and doesn't wrap.
Each item is added to the ListView.Items collection and is a ListViewItem object. The text is set to the item's Content property.
Here is the code responsible for adding text times to the list:
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
item.Content = "Item text is set here, but refuses to wrap in list view!";
mLogListView.Items.Add(item);
Thank you.
This should be what you need
<ListView Margin="12,23,309,191"
Name="mLogListView"
FontWeight="Bold"
FontSize="16"
SelectionMode="Single"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" >
<!-- here set the itemTemplate to a TextBlock that can wraps-->
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=.}" TextWrapping="Wrap"></TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
Note the syntax Text="{Binding Path=.}" that is equivalent to Text="{Binding}". This is called empty binding syntax.
In this case Text is bound to the entire ListViewItem object. The empty binding syntax is useful when you want to bind to the entire object item instead of just to single property of the item.
This is convenient for the example because the source object (the ListViewItem) is of type string and you simply want to bind to the string itself.

I wanted to view images in a ListView, it displays by default only one column. To prevent this, you can insert the following code:
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel Margin="0" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
Now displays ListView, instead of one column, just one line :-(
To prevent this, you can insert this line of code:
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
So it could look something like this:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding YourItemsSource...}"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border ... and so on ...
I hope, it can help someone

<DataTemplate x:Key="dirtSimple">
<TextBlock Margin="10,0,0,0" Text="{Binding Path=CurrentBook.Published, StringFormat=d}"></TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="lbWrapPanelTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="2" Background="Aqua">
<ItemsPresenter></ItemsPresenter>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
...
<ListBox Template="{StaticResource lbWrapPanelTemplate}" x:Name="bookListBox" Grid.Row="0" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=BookSource}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dirtSimple}" >
</ListBox>
The list box is displaying correctly, with a beautiful "Aqua" background, and each item is boringly displayed with just a date. For some reason though the items are not flowing horizontally. I originally tried it with the Silverlight Toolkit's WrapPanel, with the same problem, but I can't even get it to work with a built-in StackPanel, so I suspect I'm missing something.
Are you trying to get selection-based behavior that a ListBox provides? If not, use an ItemsControl (and supply an ItemsPanel as below).
The reason it's not going horizontal is the ItemsPresenter ultimately has its own panel it lays out items in. It's not inserting each item separately into your StackPanel (or WrapPanel), it's putting them in its own panel
What you want to do is specify a value for ItemsPanel like so:
<ListBox ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dirtSimple}">
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>
I have a ListBox with a StackPanel that contains an image and label.
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VirtualizingStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" IsItemsHost="True" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Image Source="{Binding Image}" Cursor="Hand" Tag="{Binding Link}" MouseLeftButtonDown="Image_MouseLeftButtonDown" ToolTip="Click to see this product on adidas.com" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
<Label Content="{Binding Name}" Cursor="Hand" Tag="{Binding Link}" MouseLeftButtonDown="Label_MouseLeftButtonDown" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Foreground="White" Style="{StaticResource Gotham-Medium}" FontSize="8pt" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
I want to show a third image (glow.png) behind the currently moused over image. I can't seem to add a second image to the stack panel, and set it's visibility to hidden. I haven't even tackled the mouseover part yet.
Is adding another image inside the stack panel, and then setting it's visibility to visible the right approach on mouseenter, and then swapping back on mouseleave?
Thanks.
You certainly can have one image behind another. Instead of directly adding the image to your StackPanel, add a Grid and then add both images, like this:
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Grid>
<Image Source="..." />
<Image Source="{Binding Image}" ... />
</Grid>
<Label Content="{Binding Name}" ... />
</StackPanel>
You might also like to look into Bitmap Effects, using which you can introduce a "glow" effect onto any WPF element.
Edit: Another way to achieve the effect you want (I believe) is to swap out the image's Source property in a trigger. I'm not going to try to write the XAML from memory here, but you could catch the IsMouseOver property for the image itself, and when it switches to True you could set its Source to the "glowing" version of the image.
Another possibility is to add a border to your image, set the color of the borderbrush to whatever you want and the opacity to 0. In your MouseEnter event handler set the opacity to 1.
I have a WPF listbox which displays messages. It contains an avatar on the left side and the username and message stacked vertically to the right of the avatar. The layout is fine until the message text should word wrap, but instead I get a horizontal scroll bar on the listbox.
I've Googled and found solutions to similar issues, but none of them worked.
<ListBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=FriendsTimeline}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Border BorderBrush="DarkBlue" BorderThickness="3" CornerRadius="2" Margin="3" >
<Image Height="32" Width="32" Source="{Binding Path=User.ProfileImageUrl}"/>
</Border>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=User.UserName}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Text}" TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow"/> <!-- This is the textblock I'm having issues with. -->
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Contents of the TextBlock can be wrapped using property TextWrapping.
Instead of StackPanel, use DockPanel/Grid.
One more thing - set ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility property to Disabled value for the ListBox.
Updated Hidden to Disabled based on comment from Matt. Thanks Matt.
The problem might not be located in the ListBox. The TextBlock won't wrap, if one of the parent controls provides enough space, so that it hasn't the need to wrap. This might be caused by a ScrollViewer control.
If you want to prevent TextBlock to grow, and you want it to just fit in the size of the listbox, you should set the width of it explicitly.
In order to change it dynamically, it means not a fix value, but you need to bind it to its proper parent element in the visual tree. You can have something like this:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyItems}" Name="MyListBox">
<ListBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Width"
Value="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=ScrollContentPresenter}, Path=ActualWidth}" />
</Style>
</ListBox.Resources>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
If it does not work, try to find the proper elements (which has to be binded to what) with the Live Visual Tree in Visual Studio.
