Preventing items in ListBox from exceeding its width - c#

I'm sure this is simple, but I just can't seem to figure it out. Basically, I'm trying to force ListBoxItem from allowing itself to go outside of ListBox width. For example, let's say we have a crude ListBox with a TextBox for each ListBoxItem:
<ListBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<ListBoxItem>
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
If you were to type in them, the text, eventhough it has TextWrapping set to Wrap, will continue flowing to the right, as the width of the ListBoxItem and the ListBox adjust to the width of the content (note that the HorizontalScrollBar appears):
I'm sure this is an intended behavior and is probably caused by the ScrollViewer within the template, but I want the text to wrap and be contained within the original width. I can solve this by setting a static width, but it would be a sketchy design decision and not something I want to do (it would restrict things from being re-sized easily).
Basically, the behavior I'm seeking is that of an ItemsControl:
<ItemsControl>
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</ItemsControl>
I just want to keep the ListBox control because of its other behaviors, which I need. Any ideas?

This will disable the horizontal scrolling (even though it sounds like it's only disabling visibility):
<ListBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">

Implementation for entering a password: How to click on the TextBox located under the TextBlock?

I'm trying to make an alternative way for a password binding (I know there are different ways)
I put a textblock and a textbox in the same location
The user will write inside the textbox, its foreground will be transparent
The textblock will bind with the length of the textbox's text and show "*"s according to the length.
when I'll hold down some "eye icon" the textblock will not be visible and the the textbox's foreground will be black
The problem is that when I put them both together, the block blocks the box and I can't write in it.
Maybe it's just a property I didn't find, "priority" or something
Would like a suggestion on what should I do, thank you :)

IsHitTestVisible property.
Example:
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="1234"/>
<Grid>
<TextBox x:Name="textBox" Text="1234"/>
<TextBlock Text="***********" Background="Wheat"
IsHitTestVisible="False"/>
</Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text, ElementName=textBox}"/>
</StackPanel>
BUT!!!
In my opinion, it is easier to make the TextBox transparent.
In such an implementation, you can see where the input cursor is in the field.
Example:
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Text="1234"/>
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="***********" Background="Wheat"/>
<TextBox x:Name="textBox" Text="1234"
Background="Transparent"
Foreground="Transparent"
BorderThickness="0"/>
</Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text, ElementName=textBox}"/>
</StackPanel>
Only you should change controls code position!

WPF textBox changes color halfway

I have a strange problem with the textBox in WPF. I have a simple textbox inside a stackpanel binded with some text on the code behind. When the text becomes too long some part of it changes color. Here is an example
The stackpanel is this
<StackPanel Canvas.Left="50" Canvas.Top="111">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" FontSize="32" Foreground="White" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Subtitle}" FontSize="15" Foreground="#9EA3AA"/>
</StackPanel>
How can I make all the text white?
As mentioned by Clemens you are experiencing overlap. To fix this make the cell containing the orange cpu image and text not extend so high. You should be able to just drag and drop.

How to change the design (thickness of tick, the shape of a tick, etc...) of ticks on a slider in WPF C#

I want to change the thickness of ticks and the shape of a tick (arrow shaped etc...) beneath a slider in WPF. I have looked everywhere. What i found was only how to change the height and the color of ticks.
Not a great solution but you can make a custom template and then add a UniformGrid with the desired items.
To add a custom template, add a slider to your xaml. Assuming you are using visual studio, you can go to the Properties Window and under the Miscellaneous section you can go to Templates -> Convert to New Resource.
From here you will be able to make changes to the default template.
Just under the TickBars, I added a UniformGrid. You can remove the TickBars but I left them to show as a comparison in the picture below.
<UniformGrid Columns="11">
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Left"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="7,0,0,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="13,0,0,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="20,0,0,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="24,0,0,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,24,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,20,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,13,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Right" Margin="0,0,7,0"/>
<TextBlock Text="▼" TextAlignment="Right"/>
</UniformGrid>
The text is for a down arrow. You can find other arrows here.
The first, middle, and last textblock will align with where the ticks would normally be. The rest will need offsets, which is what the margins are for. They will be equal on each side, but note that this isn't very reasonable to hard code these unless you know the control will not change size. If the control changes size, you will have to do some math to generate both the font and the margins dynamically.
I changed my foreground and background colors for better visibility but you should end up with something like this.

c# WPF Combobox selected item text cut off

Not sure where in the combobox style I can fix this. If you need me to post code let me know, but the style code is pretty long. Below is the combobox less the style.
<ComboBox x:Name="user_combobox" Margin="115,62,0,0" Height="26" Width="306"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top"
IsReadOnly="True"
Foreground="White" Background="SteelBlue" BorderBrush="White" OpacityMask="RoyalBlue"
Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxFlatStyle}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ComboBoxItemFlatStyle}"
MaxDropDownHeight="{Binding User_Combobox_Height}"
ItemsSource="{Binding Username_List}">
<ComboBox.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxHighlightBrush" Color="RoyalBlue" />
</ComboBox.Resources>
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=username}" Margin="0,-1,0,1" Height="22" FontSize="16" FontWeight="Bold" />
</DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>
A wild guess, but is it possible that in your "ComboBoxFlatStyle" Style, you're setting a value for Template property of the ComboBox? If so, check your Margin value for any Control you've set there, you probably have some top or bottom margin that are too restrictive.
I know, this answer is pretty old, but in case anyone faces the same issue again:
I had the same exact problem. I solved it thanks to the answer of Roger Leblanc. Changing widths and heights didn't change anything. But adding a Padding of 0 (or higher) solved it.

XAML Element Alignment issue

I have a list view that will contain notes that I input. I am having trouble figuring out how to have the list view item look how I want it to.
Below is how it should look:
And this is what it currently looks like:
How do I write the list view item in XAML so that the Date and time appear to the very top-right of each list view item, with the text of the note to the left?
<ListView x:Name="list" ItemsSource="{Binding Note}" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" BorderThickness="0">
<DataTemplate>
<ListViewItem>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
</StackPanel>
</ListViewItem>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView>
Any help at all is much appreciated!
You are missing a number of elements required in order to get your screen to look the way you want.
You need to define the ItemTemplate for the ListView. You're on the right track here, it is a DataTemplate declared in XAML, you just have to apply it to the ListView.ItemTemplate property.
You need to set the HorizontalContentAlignment of the ListView to Stretch (the default is Left, which means your items will not fill the entire content area).
You need to use a DockPanel (or other similar panel) inside your DataTemplate to place your date content on the right, and the remainder of your content on the left.
You need to disable Horizontal Scrolling (ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisbility) on the ListView in order to make your content wrap (otherwise it will just happily draw it all on one line).
I've included a sample ListView that should get you started.
<ListView
ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<DockPanel>
<TextBlock
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Text="{Binding Date}"
Background="Magenta"
DockPanel.Dock="Right" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Content}" Background="Lime" />
</DockPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
