So here's my problem, when I expand the main window the pages presenter frame seems to expand too but only horizontaly. (see photo #1) The 5 buttons on the bottom stay at the original resolution position verticaly but expand horizontaly, I've put them between stars related columns and rows. It worked well for my wlecome pages an this methos seems to work horizontaly. I'm wonderind if the problem comes from previoulsy setuped proprieties. Problem is related to fifthline but can be post problems.

The main problem you have is that you're using a StackPanel for your root layout panel. This is preventing your layout from expanding vertically.
You might want to consider using a Grid or a DockPanel instead.
I have a grid that contains one ItemsControl with another grid. I would like to align the two splitters in the two grids. I have implement Grid.SharedSizeScope but this option shared only the column of the grid is located. Do you have any suggestions?
This is my xaml code.
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Col1"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="5" SharedSizeGroup="Col2"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="{StaticResource GridRowHeight}"/>
<RowDefinition Height="{StaticResource GridRowHeight}"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="5" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" IsTabStop="False"/>
<TextBlock Name="ID" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="ID"/>
<TextBox Name="TxtID" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" TabIndex="0" Text={Binding ID}/>
<TextBlock Name="Description" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="Description"/>
<TextBox x:Name="TxtDescription" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Grid.RowSpan="1" Text="{Binding Description, UpdateSourceTrigger=LostFocus}"/>
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding MyList}" Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True" IsTabStop="False"
Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Col1"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="5" SharedSizeGroup="Col2"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2147483647" Width="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" IsTabStop="False"/>
<TextBlock Name="Type" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Text="{Binding Type}"/>
<ComboBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource Types}}" SelectedItem="{Binding MyType}"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
ok, what if you will actually take out the itemscontrol and move it outside the grid and then put everything into dockpanel ?
<DockPanel Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<Grid DockPanel.Dock="Top">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Col1"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="5" SharedSizeGroup="Col2"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="20"/>
<RowDefinition Height="20"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="5" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" IsTabStop="False"/>
<TextBlock Name="ID" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="ID"/>
<TextBox Name="TxtID" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" TabIndex="0" Text="ID"/>
<TextBlock Name="Description" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="Description"/>
<TextBox x:Name="TxtDescription" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Grid.RowSpan="1" Text="123"/>
</Grid>
<ItemsControl IsTabStop="False"
Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" SharedSizeGroup="Col1"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="5" SharedSizeGroup="Col2"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2147483647" Width="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch" IsTabStop="False"/>
<TextBlock Name="Type" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Text="123"/>
<ComboBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</DockPanel>
I've the following xaml definition. The textblock inside the stackpanel is not wrapping.
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<toolkit:PhoneTextBox x:Name="NotesText" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Hint="Add Notes" AcceptsReturn="True" Height="290" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" >
<CheckBox x:Name="showRequester" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeSmall}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Text="option_show_to_requester" />
</StackPanel>
<CheckBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Content="Mail To Technicain" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeSmall}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</Grid>
What I should do to make it wrap ? Thanks.
Update:
Problem with the alignment when using data template for check box content.
You can solve this by Providing Width of TextBlock.
You don't need to put a checkBox and a TextBlock into a StackPanel. To make the CheckBox's content Wrap, just use ContentTemplate of CheckBox.
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<toolkit:PhoneTextBox x:Name="NotesText" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Hint="Add Notes" AcceptsReturn="True" Height="290" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<!--Use ContentTemplate of CheckBox-->
<CheckBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0">
<CheckBox.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="option_show_to_requester" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</DataTemplate>
</CheckBox.ContentTemplate>
</CheckBox>
<CheckBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Content="Mail To Technicain" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeSmall}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</Grid>
for a simple example:
<Grid Grid.Row="1" x:Name="ContentRoot" Tapped="ContentRoot_Tapped">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<CheckBox Grid.Column="0">
<CheckBox.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock TextAlignment="Center" Text="wrap123123123123wrap" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</DataTemplate>
</CheckBox.ContentTemplate>
</CheckBox>
<CheckBox Grid.Column="1">
<CheckBox.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="nowrap" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</DataTemplate>
</CheckBox.ContentTemplate>
</CheckBox>
</Grid>
And the run image is:
I currently have a WrapGrid bound to an ObservableCollection of BitmapImages. What I wish is for these to be displayed, 4 items per row, extending downwards - and when the WrapGrid extends past the size of the users screen, allow the user to scroll downwards. Currently it is working - but no scrollbar appears and the user is unable to scroll downwards - so whenever it extends beyond the screen, the images are cut off and useless.
I believe something must be incorrect in how I have defined my grids ; but for the life of me I cannot figure out what I have done incorrectly after hours of searching.
Here is my code :
<Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="140" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button x:Name="backButton"
Click="GoBack"
IsEnabled="{Binding Frame.CanGoBack, ElementName=pageRoot}"
Style="{StaticResource BackButtonStyle}" />
<TextBlock x:Name="pageTitle"
Grid.Column="1"
Text="Image Gallery"
Style="{StaticResource PageHeaderTextStyle}" />
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
<Grid Margin="120,0,0,0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="60" />
<RowDefinition Height="60" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
...
<ItemsControl Name="listOfImages" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Images}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapGrid Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Image Stretch="Fill" Width="200" Height="200" Source="{Binding}" Margin="10,10,10,0" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="5" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I thought this stuff was set by default but may not be the case, so this may prove useful.
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapGrid Orientation="Horizontal"
CanVerticallyScroll="True"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
I have a scenario where i have one control, which is using another control thru ListBox.ItemTemplate. I need to share Height and width between these 2 controls. How can we achieve that?
Main Conrol Xaml looks like as followings:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Text="{Binding Path=Caption,
Mode=OneWay}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1"
Text="{Binding Path=Caption2,
Mode=OneWay}" />
</Grid>
<ListBox Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ViewModels}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Views:View2 />
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"></StackPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
</ListBox>
View2 xaml looks like as following:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Text="{Binding Path=Value,
Mode=OneWay}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Value2,
Mode=OneWay}"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="0"
/>
</Grid>
You can synchronize row height and column width using Grid.IsSharedSizeScope and the SharedSizeGroup attribute on ColumnDefinition and RowDefinition.
I'm not sure which elements you need to synchronize in your Xaml, but an example might be as follows:
Ia a parent element you use Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True"
<Grid IsSharedSizeScope="true">
..
</Grid>
This synchronizes any columns (or rows) that have the same SharedSizeGroup within that scope (you can have multiple nested scopes).
So if your view.xaml looks like this
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="column1"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Path=Value, Mode=OneWay}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Value2, Mode=OneWay}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"/>
</Grid>
Then all the textblocks will have the same width.
