I have been up and down looking on the internet and many people seem to have this problem but its generally solved by changing the container to a grid, constraining the height etc. etc. I can't to seem to get this to work.
I have an observableCollection thats feeding into a DataTemplate. I can't for th life of me get the scrollbar working. Its there but not enabling. Thanks Scott

Must be a bug. I have the following only..
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="ComfortReportEng.Views.EngineerReport.EngineerReport"
Title="Engineer Report" WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" Loaded="Window_Loaded" SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight" >
<Window.Resources>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="cvsReportList"/>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid Margin="0.125,0.412,3.125,0" Height="471">
<ListBox Margin="23,64,3,0" Width="834.14" ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvsReportList}}"
x:Name="lbReportList" SelectionChanged="lbReportList_SelectionChanged" Background="#FFEEEFE4" />
</Grid>
and code is
private void LoadReportList()
{
int number = 0;
List<int> myNumbers = new List<int>();
while (number < 80)
{
myNumbers.Add(number);
number += 1;
}
_cvsReportList = (CollectionViewSource)(this.FindResource("cvsReportList"));
_cvsReportList.Source = myNumbers;
}
This was copied over from another project. Completely confused. Please don't worry. It's not a logical problem. Please take this as a close call with no solution. Cheers again Scott
Just to give this completeness. I am not sure why this happens but here is it.
if (System.Environment.MachineName == "SCOTT-PC")
{
this.txtUserName.Text = "Scott Fisher";
this.txtPassword.Password = "palace";
//LoginOK();
}
else
Keyboard.Focus(this.txtUserName);
If I clear the comments on LoginOK procedure I will get no scrollbar. With it commented and I interact with the login screen then everything is fine. Finally here is the code for the LoginOK.
if (LoginService.CheckLogin(txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Password.ToString()))
{
Helpers.User.ThisUser = this.txtUserName.Text;
EngineerReport.EngineerReport engReport = new EngineerReport.EngineerReport()
{
Owner = Window.GetWindow(this),
WindowStartupLocation =
System.Windows.WindowStartupLocation.
CenterOwner
};
this.Hide();
engReport.ShowDialog();
}
else
{
this.txtPassword.Password = "";
this.txtPassword.Focus();
}
Can you provide you DataTemplate as I believe I have just managed to mock up what you are trying to achieve and I have scrollbars visible and working form the start.
Here is the xaml that I used for the DataTemplate for the ListBox:
<ListBox DataContext="{StaticResource MusicData}" ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=Album}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ListBoxItem>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
<TextBlock>No.</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=No}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock>Title</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=Title}"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
Hope this helps.
I also found a piece of code I used a while back and this might help. You can try setting the ItemsPanelTemplate:
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible" />
</StackPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
This will work with any items control as stated in this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.itemscontrol.itemcontainerstyle.aspx
One final thing I can suggest is to create your own ControlTemplate for the ListBox Like so:
<ListBox.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<ItemsPresenter />
</ScrollViewer>
</ControlTemplate>
</ListBox.Template>

I'm using a grid view control in my uwp application and each grid view item contains a grid and a stackpanel. I want to make only grid to be clickable instead on the complete grid view item.
Here is my grid view code
<GridView
Grid.Row="1"
ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewData}"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden"
Margin="130,40,130,40">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:ViewArr">
<StackPanel Margin="50,25,50,25" >
<Grid Height="120" Width="120">
<Image
Source="assets/images/icons/check_my_blue.png"
Height="40"
Width="40"
Canvas.ZIndex="99"
Margin="80,0,0,80">
</Image>
<Canvas>
<Ellipse
Height="120"
Width="120"
Fill ="{x:Bind profile_color , FallbackValue='#00000'}"
StrokeThickness="3"
Stroke="Black" >
</Ellipse>
</Canvas>
<TextBlock
Text="{x:Bind profile_name}"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="28"
Foreground="White">
</TextBlock>
</Grid>
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind first_name}" FontSize="16" FontWeight="Bold" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind last_name}" FontSize="16" FontWeight="Bold"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="Today - " FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Gray" Margin="0,0,5,0"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="0" FontSize="14" Foreground="Gray"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="Previous Tasks - " FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Gray" Margin="0,0,5,0"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="0" FontSize="14" Foreground="Gray"></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
And it creates something like this.

I want to make only circles to be clickable not the text below that.
Is there any way to achieve that? Please guide me. Thanks in advance.
How to make only a part of gridview item clickable in uwp application?
For your requirement, you could set GridView IsItemClickEnabled property as false then listen Grid Tapped event like following.
<GridView IsItemClickEnabled="False" >
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Grid Tapped="Grid_Tapped"
Width="30"
Height="30"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Background="Red"
CornerRadius="15"
/>
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="NicoName" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
private void Grid_Tapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
}
Try this.
<GridView
Grid.Row="1"
Margin="130,40,130,40"
IsItemClickEnabled="False"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden">

I noticed my application is using about 15% of the CPU constantly when I have a ListBox visible.
I tried using Redgate's ANTS Performance Profiler but I did not manage to find the origin of this CPU-usage. Nothing is being updated so I think this is very strange.
Here is the XAML-code for the ListBox:
<ListBox x:Name="MusicList" ItemsSource="{Binding}" MouseDoubleClick="MusicList_MouseDoubleClick" PreviewMouseWheel="MusicList_PreviewMouseWheel" PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown="MusicList_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown" TextSearch.TextPath="name" KeyDown="MusicList_KeyDown" Background="#3F181818" Margin="0,175,0,0" BorderThickness="0,1,0,0" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" BorderBrush="#FF282828">

I do have about 500 items in the listbox itself, but I assume DataViritualization is on, since scrolling makes it look like new items are being drawed.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I have a listbox which is filled up with items taken from a data contract. I want to add a bit of xaml to the top of the listbox which takes data from another data contract. How do i go about doing this?

I tried just adding a new item to the listbox but the data contract would mean i have to instantiate all the sub levels of objects and it would suckkk as they are different domains.
Keep in mind that i want the entire screen to scroll in union... so that it looks like one big long list, regardless of the first being like a default value.
Put the first item outside the ListBox and disable ScrollViewer for the ListBox so the whole thing will scroll together. Here's an example where the item is a simple TextBlock. You can change it to suit your requirement.
<ScrollViewer>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="Item 1"/>
<ListBox ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding item}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
this is my xaml code:
<TextBox x:Name="name_box_det" Text="{Binding Name}" Height="65" Margin="-12,-10,0,0" Grid.Row="1" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="#FF40AA2F" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="467" SelectionBackground="#FF40AA2F" SelectionForeground="White" BorderBrush="#FF3FA92E" FontSize="18.667"/>
And this is C# code, to get text value:
var name_text_det = name_box_det.Text;
And I'm getting this exception:
The name 'name_box_det' does not exist in the current context
Xaml code is copied from another xaml, but I tried to write completely new and it does not help. Do you know where is error?

name_box_det exists within the ItemTemplate of your ListBox. This is a different context to your page and hence the error. Because an instance of this TextBlock will exist for every item in the collection your there's no way to know which one you're referring to in the code behind.
I'm guessing you're doing this in the Delete button click event handler. As you haven't provided a full repro of what you're doing here's an example of how it may be done.
Assuming the UI contains:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />
<Button Content="delete" Grid.Column="1" Click="DeleteClicked"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
and the DataContext is something like:
this.DataContext = new[]
{
new SimpleViewModel { Name = "one" },
new SimpleViewModel { Name = "two" },
new SimpleViewModel { Name = "three" },
};
Then the click event handler can look like this:
private void DeleteClicked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(
"You're trying to delete " +
((sender as FrameworkElement).DataContext as SimpleViewModel).Name);
}
I have data binding to a listbox, and texttrimming property set to WordEllipsis, but it doesn't seem to work. The textblocks are showing text as if they do without the texttrimming property set. This is my xaml code. Please help.
<Grid>
<Grid.Resources>
<application:ViewModel x:Key="ViewModel"/>
</Grid.Resources>
<TextBlock Height="75" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Click on Settings to search for quotes (by author or by query)." VerticalAlignment="Top" TextAlignment="Center" FontSize="26.667"/>
<ListBox Margin="0,166,0,0" Name="lstQuote" DoubleTap="lstQuote_DoubleTap" Hold="lstQuote_Hold">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<es:RegularPolygon Fill="#FFF4F4F5" Height="90" InnerRadius="0.47211" PointCount="5" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="Black" UseLayoutRounding="False" Width="84"/>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Author}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Quote}" TextWrapping="NoWrap" FontSize="30" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" Width="Auto" />

</ListBox>
<Button Content="Random Quote" Height="79" Margin="48,83,44,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" x:Name="quotSearch" Click="quotSearch_Click" />

change TextBox Width properties to fixed width
<TextBlock Width="200" Height="75" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Click on Settings to search for quotes (by author or by query)." VerticalAlignment="Top" TextAlignment="Center" FontSize="26.667"/>
