I want to split the main window in three way Grid Spliiter same alike outlook style.
and all the controls nested inside in the three window is resized using Grid Splitter.
I am trying to do that using defining Row Definition of Grid and placing each control in Row 1 or column 1..
Its nice to have , if any body has some kind of template to kick start with this kind of layout.. I don't want too complex sample..

I have a ListView that lays on top of UI graphics in my UserControl that I want to show and size using a Grid that matches the parent grid. I'm trying to template the way each item shown and sized using the ListView.ItemTemplate. The issue I'm having is that the DataTemplate is not sizing to the main Grid of the UI, and I'm not sure why.
This is what I've done, I think it a fairly simple and straight forward datatemplate:
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Path=StatusFilter}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="12">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="92"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="85"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Content="{Binding Path=ECNNumber}" Grid.Column="0"/>
<Label Content="{Binding Path=DateECNDue}" Grid.Column="1"/>
<Label Content="{Binding Path=Model.Model}" Grid.Column="2"/>
<--More stuff for each column-->
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
When this is displayed the grid is completely bypassed and each element is shown like a horizontally aligned stackpanel. To test that my DataTemplate wasn't faulty I threw it into an ItemsControl and it worked perfectly. It resized with the parent grid without any issues.
Why isn't this working for the ListView, and how do I get it to work? I need the selection and scrollview capability of the ListView otherwise I'd be using the ItemsControl.
I read something about Grid.SharedSizeScope but that doesn't work with dynamic sizing of grid, and that's all I could really find on this issue.
Hello Stackoverflowers !
I'm creating a list with a searchbar in XAML, and when i tried to use my new UserControl in MainWindow.xaml, the Button in the UserControl is cropped in the designer instead of being resized to fit, why is that ?
Here is the MainWindow.xaml body :
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="2*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="8*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<controls:SearchBox Grid.Column="0"/>
</Grid>
And here is the body of the custom control :
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="8*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="8*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBox
Grid.Row="0"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Text="Search"
TextBlock.FontStyle="Italic"
TextBlock.TextAlignment="Left"
/>
<!-- Content="{StaticResource FilterLogo}" -->
<Button
Grid.Column="1"
Content="Filter"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
</Button>
<ListBox
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
ItemsSource="{Binding DataContext}"
SelectedItem="{Binding DataContext}"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
</ListBox>
I don't really know why my control is cropped to be honest. Any lead please ?
Short answer: it doesn't fit.
You have two columns in your main window. Since you have not specified which column to place the UserControl, it defaults to the first column. But your Width definitions force that column to be one fourth the size of the second column.
Your SearchBox simply doesn't fit in the space you have allotted to it.
If you remove the star (*) from this line:
<ColumnDefinition Width="8*" />
...it will fit without being cropped. (Alternatively, you could place the user control in the second column, or expand the main window, or shrink the width of your UserControl.)
When using stars in the column and row definitions, use them like percentages. Like this:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width=".1*" /> <!-- 10% -->
<ColumnDefinition Width=".9*" /> <!-- 90% -->
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
This is what the XAML reader interpreted from your usage:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="8*" /> <!-- 800% -->
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" /> <!-- 100% -->
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
This will have undesired results.
I have two controls and a GridSplitter .
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<UserControlOne Grid.Colum="0" Visibility="{Binding MyProperty1}"/>
<GridSplitter Visibility="{Binding MyProperty1}" m:Splitterbehaviour.Apply= true/>
<UserControlTwo Grid.Colum="1" />
</Grid>
I am trying to show/hide the UserControlOne with the MyProperty1 which is working fine but when it is hidden i want the UsercontrolTwo to take whole page space. I could easily achieve this by using a stack or dock panel. But if i use the stackpanel or dockpanel my GridSplitter wont work.(I have a behaviour set to GridSplitter which will identify the first column and it will help to resize the first and second column)
I don't see how that splitter is working
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<UserControlOne Grid.Colum="0" Visibility="{Binding MyProperty1}"/>
<UserControlTwo Grid.Colum="1"/>
</Grid>
I have a StackPanel (tried with a Grid as well) on my page.
<StackPanel Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<Partials:BaseInfo x:Name="baseInfo" />
<Partials:ExtraInfo x:Name="extraInfo" />
</StackPanel>
Both partials are using a grid with the same ColumnDefinitions:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="90" SharedSizeGroup="C1" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="C2" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="C3" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="C4" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="C5" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="C6" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="C7" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="C8" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
Somehow 'C5' is acting up. If i set a fixes size there, everything works. If i leave it at auto, both the designer and the app will jump left/right in something that looks like an attempt to adjust the widths. The columns size up and down like crazy. I also tried with Width="*" and without a Width.
If i only Share the first 4 groups, everthing is fine as well. Also i use some ColumnSpans across different coulmns, which are different in the two usercontrols
What gives?
In WPF, I simply want to have a 'container' which has 3 textblocks. I would like these 3 textblocks to be sized so they each take up 1/3 of the parent's width. I noticed that the stackpanel sizes the last child automatically, but is there a way to size each child automatically?
Use a Grid or a UniformGrid
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="1" Grid.Column="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="2" Grid.Column="1"/>
<TextBlock Text="3" Grid.Column="2"/>
</Grid>
The grid is very common and in every WPF-App used a lot. However also the UniformGrid is very handy but not so well known.
