I have a problem with my application. I want tomake a page, that will be show user notifications in the Grid. At the left side will be profile picture, at the right side profile name, message contents and time.
I have a problem with the TextBlock which contains message content.
TextWrapping doesn't seem to work. Message contents are displayed in single line, and they are cut in half.

How to solve this problem?
The problem is that your columns are set to width="Auto" This will let them grow as much as they want In practise this will grow as much as needed to accomodate all the content.
You should change it like so:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
This will keep the ratio equal: the second column is three times the width of the first. (you should tweak this to your specific need)
Note that this needs to be done on your outer-grid since the outer grid lets the inner grid grow as much as needed, and the innergrid grows as much as needed to accomodate the long text in the textbox

I am trying to create a custom control which is an icon and a label overlaid on it,
so I have an icon and on top of it(top/topright/topleft etc)I want to put my label.
I tried using 3x3 grid, so the icon is in the center and according to the value of the anchor(top, topright, topleft) the label should be overlaid on the icon
so in code I am using Grid.SetRow & Set Column according to the value that was set(top right is row=0, column =2 etc)
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>

</Grid>
this is how it looks like:
and I am only able to achieve my goal using Margin
what should be the right way to do it or what container should I use?
I defined the following DialogWindow:
<ui:DialogWindow x:Class="CodeElementRatingWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

<RowDefinition Height="60px"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="510px"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="30px"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Name="TitleLabel" Content="Please rate the difficulty you perceived while working with each of the following code elements (1 = ''very easy'' / 6 = ''very difficult'')"></Label>
<ScrollViewer MinHeight="510px">
<Grid Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Name="ElementContainer">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="150"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
<Grid Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Content="OK" Grid.Column="0" Click="OK_Button_Click"></Button>
<Button Content="Cancel" Grid.Column="1" Click="Cancel_Button_Click"></Button>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</ui:DialogWindow>
The layout basically consists of three rows. The first row has a title label, the bottom row two buttons and in the middle, I want to have a list of UI elements that I add dynamically in the code to the Grid there. Since I don't know in advance how many items that are, I want to display them in a ScrollViewer.
I can see that ScrollViewer is drawn, but the problem is, the ScrollViewer overlaps with the title label and is also somewhat clumsy. When I remove the ScrollViewer, this is not the case. So what am I doing wrong?
Just change the Grid.Row=1 for the ScrollViewer. It will work. Refer below code.
<Grid Name="root">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="60px"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="510px"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="30px"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Name="TitleLabel" Content="Please rate the difficulty you perceived while working with each of the following code elements (1 = ''very easy'' / 6 = ''very difficult'')"></Label>
<ScrollViewer MinHeight="510px" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
<Grid Name="ElementContainer">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="150"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
<Grid Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Content="OK" Grid.Column="0" Click="OK_Button_Click"></Button>
<Button Content="Cancel" Grid.Column="1" Click="Cancel_Button_Click"></Button>
</Grid>
</Grid>
Hello and thanks for your help in advance. I have two panels, one with a series of the buttons and a Telerik RadTreeView boxed by a border, and on the right another border encompassing a grid and some other controls. Everything is sized properly as I resize the page etc however for some reason there are about 10 pixels being cut-off and cannot think of why. If it was a page container issue it would affect the border on the right side of the page. So I'm thinking it must have something to do with the RadTreeView or WrapPanel I'm using. (Boiled-down code is right after the image below)

Didn't have time nor the inclination to look into the underlying template/styling for either the RadTreeView or the WrapPanel. I was able to fix the issue and maintain the layout by simply putting the RadTreeView in it's own row and leaving just the buttons and other controls in the wrap panel. Suppose it is simpler this way anyway.
Definitely must be a bug or compatibility issue with these two controls that will probably go unsolved.
Is there a way to convert whole Column from Grid to the Image in Windows Phone 7.1 app. I tried to find a way to do that, but cannot find anything.
My problem is that I have to change that:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Height="150" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="image1" Stretch="Fill" Width="180" Source="{Binding ***0}" />
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Background="White">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="30"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="150"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Grid.Column="0" Height="30" Width="30" Source="{Binding ***1}"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Height="30" Foreground="Black" Text="{Binding ***2}" TextAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
into one picture. So I must change whole Grid.Column="0" from the main Grid into the Picture which size is 180x180. After that I must save it into the *.jpg file.
You can create a bitmap from a UI element and then save it as a jpeg.
As you have multiple elements (everything in the column) you may have to capture multiple bitmaps, combine them and then save as jpeg.
I made this image that shows the controls. The top one is a ListView and the others are ListView controls as well with additional controls.
But I can't figure out how to layout them to look like that.
Currently I use 3 DockPanels for each ListView where the top one uses Top VerticalAlignment, the others use Bottom for VerticalAlignment, Left and Right (for HorizontalAlignment).
But when I look at it, the other 2 controls appear after the top ListView to its right side. I can see this when I scale the top DockPanel to half the size, then the other 2 DockPanels show up, attached to the top DockPanel's right side.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
How about this?
The grid has no fixed widths or heights and should accommodate whatever controls you add.
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Background="Aqua" Height="100"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Background="Orange" Height="100" Width="150" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"/>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Background="Green" Height="60" Width="200" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"/>
</Grid>
Initial window
Resized window
EDIT in response to comment
If you want a progressbar in the top panel, just use:
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
Background="Aqua" Orientation="Vertical">
<ListView Height="50" Background="Purple"></ListView>
<ProgressBar Height="20" IsIndeterminate="True" ></ProgressBar>
</StackPanel>
Do you need them to be DockPanels, or this is a fixed layout?
If it's fixed you could do something like this:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="80"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="50"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="50"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="100"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ListView Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Name="dockPanel1" Background="CadetBlue">
</ListView>
<ListView Grid.Row="2" Grid.RowSpan="2" Name="dockPanel2" Background="Cyan">
</ListView>
<ListView Grid.Row="3" Grid.RowSpan="1" Grid.Column="2" Name="dockPanel3" Background="DarkRed">
</ListView>
</Grid>
I made the area between your three panels re-sizable as your window resizes.
Instead of the listviews that I used, you can put pretty much anything, a user control, another grid, whatever.
The colors will show you where the listview sections are easily.
You will probably want to adjust the sizes, or change the resize behavior.

Seems like this is the sort of scenario Alignment, Margins, and Padding are made to handle...
