I am having a problem in fixing 3 TextBlocks inside a Grid,in a metro App,I used this link enter link description here
but I get always a problem in stretching my TextBlocks inside the Grid
this is my code:
<ListView Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<ListView.ItemTemplate >
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Margin="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border Margin="0">
<Image Grid.Column="0" Source="images/img1.png" Margin="0,5" Stretch="Fill" Width="80"/>
</Border>
<Grid Grid.Column="1" Margin="5" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock x:Name="text1" Text="test1" Grid.Row="0" Margin="5" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock x:Name="text2" Text="test2" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock x:Name="text3" Text="test3" Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
so please I need your help,to fix that
thanks for help
You have to edit style of ListViewItem and set HorizontalAlignment to Stretch
<ListView>
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment"
Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment"
Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListView>

The yellow part of the screen is wasted. And the space after the image is wasted. How do I shift everything to the left? Both image and text to the left and reduce the gap to the left of both image and text? I have tried to play around with margins but am unable to.
Many thanks

I had pasted the code earlier - not sure why it did not appear - have managed to do better by using negative margins on the grid. Is this portable across different devices? Is this the right way to do this? I have tried to read up default margins - seems to be 6 in most cases - but in this case seems to be a lot more. Seems like 70px margin as a -60px margin seems to be looking good. What is the right way of doing this so that it renders well across device and screen types and resolutions? I have got to this point.
Now I can't figure out how to get the Customers row in the main grid to keep up with the previous row which is a sub-grid within the main one. I am so super confused. I am able to set the height of the rows under the head "Services" but I don't want to as I want to show a lot of text when the user taps on any of the services. So, the height of that row will be dynamic. I'd therefore want to use Height="*" in that inside grid so that all the rows can be "collapsed" and "expanded" on touch.
How do I get the Row that contains "Customers" to keep aligned just under the Services sub-grid?
Many thanks
Set VerticalOptions="StartAndExpand" in Main Grid

I have used a trigger and a StackPanel to change the orientation from horizontal to vertical when I resize the Screen but it doesn't work :(
any good solution please to do somthing like we do it bootsrap :)
thanks for help
Since OP doesnt have code for triggers. Have a look at Channel 9 video of Hero Explorer by Bob Tabor. Here he handles a similar scenario of cahnging layout from vertical to horizontal with video and code you will get the basic idea on how to handle trigger.
Following is the code from HeroExplorer to handle resizing, similary you can do that in your code also
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="VisualStateGroup">
<VisualState x:Name="Wide">
<VisualState.StateTriggers>
<AdaptiveTrigger MinWindowWidth="800" />
</VisualState.StateTriggers>
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Target="DetailGrid.(Grid.Row)" Value="0" />
<Setter Target="DetailGrid.(Grid.Column)" Value="1" />
<Setter Target="ColumnOne.Width" Value="Auto" />
<Setter Target="ColumnTwo.Width" Value="*" />
</VisualState.Setters>
</VisualState>
<VisualState x:Name="Narrow">
<VisualState.StateTriggers>
<AdaptiveTrigger MinWindowWidth="0" />
</VisualState.StateTriggers>
<VisualState.Setters>
<Setter Target="DetailGrid.(Grid.Row)" Value="1" />
<Setter Target="DetailGrid.(Grid.Column)" Value="0" />
<Setter Target="ColumnOne.Width" Value="*" />
<Setter Target="ColumnTwo.Width" Value="Auto" />

I want the radio button to show on the right side. But It looks as in the image.
How can I move the radio button to the right side?
I got the answer from here.
By Adding the following xaml I got the desired output.
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
This works for me. I have updated my xaml as follows
<Popup x:Name="colorSelectorPopup">
<Border BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Gray">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid x:Name="colorSelectorTitle" Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<TextBlock x:Name="popupTitle" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" FontSize="16" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="8"/>
</Grid>
<ListView x:Name="colorList" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="White">
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" x:Name="tbColor" Text="{Binding ColorName}" Foreground="{Binding ForegroundColor}" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
<RadioButton Grid.Column="1" x:Name="radioColor" GroupName="colorRadio" Tag="{Binding SelectionColor}" MinWidth="32" Checked="radioColor_Checked"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Popup>
Since the grid only contains 2 columns and the 2nd column only contains the radio button I would set the column definition to a fixed with for the 2nd one instead of auto. see if that works.
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="40"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
Developing/learning about WP8.1 for the 1st time.
This question is about layout.
I have 2 buttons.
I want them at the bottom of my screen.
I want each button to take 50% of the available width of the screen.
Similar to this:
So far I have this:
And this is my markup:
<Page
x:Class="Informed.BasicPage1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Informed"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"
>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.ChildrenTransitions>
<TransitionCollection>
<EntranceThemeTransition/>
</TransitionCollection>
</Grid.ChildrenTransitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="45"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!-- Title Panel -->
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Margin="19,0,0,0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<Image Name="imgHeader" Grid.Row="0" Source="Images/bannershort.jpg" Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
<TextBlock Text="Log In" Margin="0,-6.5,0,26.5" Style="{ThemeResource HeaderTextBlockStyle}" CharacterSpacing="{ThemeResource PivotHeaderItemCharacterSpacing}"/>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<TextBox Name="email" Header="Email address"/>
<PasswordBox Name="password" Header="Password"/>
<CheckBox Name="showPassword" Content="Show password"/>
<!-- Content body -->
<TextBlock Name="body" Style="{StaticResource MessageDialogContentStyle}" TextWrapping="Wrap">
<TextBlock.Text>
Enter Email Address and Password created.
</TextBlock.Text>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Margin="0,0,0,0" Grid.ColumnSpan="1">
<Button Content="hello" Grid.Column="0" FontFamily="Global User Interface" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="1">
<Button Content="hello2" Grid.Column="1" FontFamily="Global User Interface" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Page>
Remove those StackPanels they are not needed. When you want something to take available space use HorizontalAlignment = Stretch:
<Button Content="hello" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" FontFamily="Global User Interface" />
<Button Content="hello2" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" FontFamily="Global User Interface" />
You will also need to make your columns equal width:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
You may also think of adding Margin="20,0,10,0" (first) and Margin="10,0,20,0" (second).
There is no point in putting one control inside panel (except some rare cases). You may also modify your code and put those Buttons inside a Grid then there is no need to make the whole main Grid with two columns:
<Grid Grid.Row="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Content="hello" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" FontFamily="Global User Interface" />
<Button Content="hello2" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" FontFamily="Global User Interface" />
</Grid>
In my app I'm displaying some info about users in a listbox. I've got most of the stuff as I want, but the layout is bugging me a bit.
It's made with grids, so that it'll re-size and fit portrait/landscape modes.
However, I cannot get the layout to "fix itself"... let me try and explain with pictures:
As you can see the numbers at the right side isn't aligned to the right edge of the screen. How do I achieve this?
Landscape mode looks almost okay:
Below is some of the XAML:
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ShowGridLines="False">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="{Binding Picture, Mode=OneWay}" Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="73" Height="73">
</Image>
<Grid Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ShowGridLines="False">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" ShowGridLines="False">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=name}" Grid.Column="0" Foreground="#FF3F9AC4" FontSize="28"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSmallStyle}"
TextWrapping="Wrap">
</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=amount}" Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="28"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSmallStyle}">
</TextBlock>
</Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=description}" Grid.Row="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSmallStyle}" TextWrapping="Wrap"
FontSize="24">
</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
You need to set the ItemContainerStyle of your ListBox so it'll stretch the ListBoxItems.
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"></Setter>
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
You could try a simpler grid:
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" ShowGridLines="False">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Source="{Binding Picture, Mode=OneWay}" Grid.Column="0" Grid.RowSpan="2"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="73" Height="73" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=name}" Grid.Column="1" Foreground="#FF3F9AC4" FontSize="28"
HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSmallStyle}"
TextWrapping="Wrap" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=amount}" Grid.Column="2"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="28"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSmallStyle}" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay, Path=description}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
VerticalAlignment="Center" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSmallStyle}"
TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24" />
</Grid>
