I would like to know if it is possible to collapse a row in a grid ?
I already collapsed the controls inside my row (using Visibility = "Collapsed" + Height = "Auto").
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Content="Test 1"/>
<ProgressBar Grid.Column="1" Value="90"/>
<Label Content="Test 2" Grid.Row="1" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
<ProgressBar Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Value="50" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
<Label Content="Test 3" Grid.Row="2"/>
<ProgressBar Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" Value="20"/>
</Grid>
But I would like to collapse all the row, whitout doing it for each control in the row, like that :
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
Is it possible ? Or should I use something other than a grid ?
Thanks.

I have the following XAML:
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="1" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<PasswordBox HorizontalAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="0" Margin="12" Width="260" Height="32" PlaceholderText="Confirm Password" BorderBrush="#FF755CB0" BorderThickness="1" Opacity="0.9" x:Name="ConfirmPassword"/>
<Button Content="Sign-Up" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="12" Grid.Row="1" Width="260" Height="50" Background="#FF235085" BorderBrush="#FF6749AC" BorderThickness="1" Foreground="White" Opacity="0.9" RequestedTheme="Light" Click="Register_Click"/>
</Grid>
Right now the grid is at the center of the screen, I wabt it to be a little bit higher, I can do it with margin, but I don't want any propery with pixel in my page. Is there any other wahy to do it?
Thanks.
The easiest way to get your grid slightly above the centre without using Margins would be to put it in another Grid.
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
<RowDefinition Height="1.2*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="1" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<PasswordBox HorizontalAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="0" Margin="12" Width="260" Height="32" PlaceholderText="Confirm Password" BorderBrush="#FF755CB0" BorderThickness="1" Opacity="0.9" x:Name="ConfirmPassword"/>
<Button Content="Sign-Up" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="12" Grid.Row="1" Width="260" Height="50" Background="#FF235085" BorderBrush="#FF6749AC" BorderThickness="1" Foreground="White" Opacity="0.9" RequestedTheme="Light" Click="Register_Click"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
Note the second RowDefinition
<RowDefinition Height="1.2*"/>
This means the second row will take slightly more of the available space than the first row and you can adjust to meet your needs.
I'd like to have a hyperlink and a textblocks on the same line, however both controls act somewhat different. The hyperlink is just a few pixels more to the right, like there is a margin but it's not, is it? Just look at this piece of code:
<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication7.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Text="Umsatzsteuerart: " />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Text="Test" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Text="Hersteller:" />
<HyperlinkButton Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Content="Test" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="0" Text="Umsatzsteuerart:" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="1" Text="Test" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Shouldn't all three ui-controls be aligned to the same line? Is there a solution for this problem? HorizontalAlignment doesn't effect anything...
Found the solution myself:
Setting the padding of the HyperlinkButton will align the hyperlink correctly.
I am developing a XAML based app and I have a spacing/layout issue. I currently have my main page as a 1 column grid. I have a ListBox though in which I need my data template to be displayed over 2 columns. The first data element should take up 75% of the screen and the second data element should take up the rest. When I run my app, the data from my listbox items are bunched on the left hand side of the screen. How can I change this behavior?
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="2*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="9*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="12"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="12"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

Why use a Grid to center the content?
I currently have my main page as a 1 column grid
Why use a grid if it has just 1 column? Use margin on the stackpanel items.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock Text="Selected Location" FontWeight="Bold" Style="{StaticResource grayTextBox}"/>
<Line Stroke="White" StrokeThickness="1" />
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SelectedLocations, Mode=TwoWay}" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" Visibility="{Binding Path=IsSelectedLocationAvailable, Converter={StaticResource visibilityConverter}}">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>

<Grid ShowGridLines="True">

<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Foreground="#ffb107" Text="{Binding Path=Name}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Foreground="#ffb107" Text="{Binding Path=Address}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Foreground="#ffb107" Text="{Binding Path=CityStateZip}" />
<StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="3" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Right">

<Rectangle Fill="Blue" />
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>

I have a rectangle that is expanding just fine horizontally, but not vertically:
<Grid x:Name="MainDisplay" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="10" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="10" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Viewbox MinWidth="400" MinHeight="400" x:Name="Scenario4ImageContainer" Stretch="Fill" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Rectangle MinWidth="400" MinHeight="400" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Fill="Blue"/>
</Viewbox>
When I set the MinHeight property to 700 it takes up all the screen space, but I want to take up however much room it can get.
Also this outer grid sits inside of this parent grid:
<Grid x:Name="Output" Background="#1D1D1D" Margin="0,2,0,-2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="300"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
I've tried out the XAML you posted and the Rectangle is expanding just fine. The only thing limiting it is the outer Grid which defines two rows of equal height. Try making the second row narrower and you'll see the Rectangle expand:
<Grid x:Name="Output" Background="#1D1D1D" Margin="0,2,0,-2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="300"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="100" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid x:Name="MainDisplay" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="10" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="10" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Viewbox MinWidth="400" MinHeight="400" x:Name="Scenario4ImageContainer" Stretch="Fill" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Rectangle MinWidth="400" MinHeight="400" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Fill="Blue"/>
</Viewbox>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I am creating an app in Silverlight 4 with MVVM Light.
At present I have a page with many controls ie. StackPanels, Listbox, TexBlocks and Buttons. I have a busyindicator on the page that is bound to a viewmodel. When a button is clicked to say retrieve data from the database the busyindicator displays and vanishes when the call is completed.
This all works as it should.
What I want to happen is that the whole page is wrapped in the busyindicator so that the page dims and nothing works until the event is completed. I have read that you just wrap the control inside the Busyindicator.
No matter where I place the opening of the indicator I get blue lines showing 'The property Content is set more than once.'
I have posted the code below, could anyone explain where to put the indicator code.
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height ="0" />
<RowDefinition Height ="30" />
<RowDefinition Height ="60" />
<RowDefinition Height ="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height ="40" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="Header" Width="353" Margin="0 0 0 0" Height="30" />
<StackPanel Grid.Row="2" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Button Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Content="GetData" Height="35" Width="130" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" Command="{Binding GetData}"></Button>
<!-- <toolkit:BusyIndicator Width="150" Height="50" IsBusy="{Binding IsBusy}" BusyContent="Searching ..." /> -->
</StackPanel>
<ListBox x:Name="MyListBox" Grid.Row="3">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="400"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="70"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="70"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Name}"></TextBlock>
<Button Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.Column="3" Content="Delete" VerticalAlignment="Center"

</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="4" Margin="5,10,0,0" Text="{BindingMessage}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
You need to put all the content inside the user control as shown below:
<toolkit:BusyIndicator Width="150" Height="50" IsBusy="{Binding IsBusy}" BusyContent="Searching ...">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height ="0" />
<RowDefinition Height ="30" />
<RowDefinition Height ="60" />
<RowDefinition Height ="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height ="40" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Text="Header" Width="353" Margin="0 0 0 0" Height="30" />
<StackPanel Grid.Row="2" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal" >
<Button Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Content="GetData" Height="35" Width="130" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" Command="{Binding GetData}"></Button>
</StackPanel>
<ListBox x:Name="MyListBox" Grid.Row="3">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="400"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="70"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="70"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{Binding Name}"></TextBlock>
<Button Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.Column="3" Content="Delete" VerticalAlignment="Center" Command="{Binding Delete}"></Button>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="4" Margin="5,10,0,0" Text="{BindingMessage}"></TextBlock>
</Grid>
</toolkit:BusyIndicator>
