I need your help.
At this moment I'm making a notification panel. And I need to change the height of ListBoxItem in response to a number of message's lines. Here's an example.
As you can see the first notification didn't increase its height and TextBlock with timecode has just disappeared.
Here's my code sample:
<ListBox Width="350" Padding="0,0,0,10" Name="notificationArray">
<ListBoxItem Padding="10" MinHeight="80" Height="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Gray" Text="Channel name"/>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords" Text="This is very long notification. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten."/>
<TextBlock Foreground="Gray" Text="HH:MM TT" FontSize="13"/>
</StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
As you can see here, I've already tried Height="Auto" and VerticalAlignment="Stretch" but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? Anyway, thanks in advance.
P.S. Problem is definitely in ListBoxItem. I've already experimented with ListBox and StackPanel
P.P.S Here's a lager sample:
<Popup Grid.Column="6" Margin="0,50,0,0" Name="notificationPane" LostFocus="notificationPane_LostFocus" IsOpen="False" IsLightDismissEnabled="True">
<StackPanel Width="350" Background="WhiteSmoke" Padding="0,10,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="Notifications" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontWeight="Bold"/>
<StackPanel Margin="0,10,0,0">
<TextBlock Text="You have no any notification" Name="noNotifText" Foreground="Gray" FontStyle="Italic" Padding="10" Visibility="Visible"/>
<StackPanel Name="notificationPanel" Visibility="Collapsed">
<ListBox Width="350" Padding="0,0,0,10" Name="notificationArray">
<ListBoxItem Padding="10" MinHeight="80">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Gray" Text="Channel name"/>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords" Text="This is very long notification. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten."/>
<TextBlock Foreground="Gray" Text="HH:MM TT" FontSize="13"/>
</StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem Padding="10" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Background="LightGray" MinHeight="80" Height="100">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock FontSize="14" FontStyle="Italic" Foreground="Gray" Text="Channel name"/>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords" Text="This is very long notification. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten."/>
<TextBlock Foreground="Gray" Text="HH:MM TT" FontSize="13"/>
</StackPanel>
</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
<Button Content="Clear all" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="10,0,10,10"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</Popup>
I download your whole project from the development branch that you uploaded to the GitHub and find the issue. Since you defined defined the global style for the ListBoxItem in App.xaml of the project, which set the Height property of ListBoxItem as 50 that limited the ListBoxItem to show the content.
To resolve your issue, commented this style, or set a fixed height for the first ListBoxItem as you did for the second one, or set a larger MinHeight for the first item.
<Application.Resources>
<!--<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="50"/>
</Style>-->
<Style TargetType="TextBlock" x:Key="ItemIcon">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Segoe MDL2 Assets"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16"/>
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="5,5,20,2"/>
</Style>
...
</Application.Resources>

For some reason, scrolling simply doesn't work on this ListView, and I really don't know why. The items display properly, just the list isn't scrollable. Using grids isn't viable (from what I know, anyway) since the items that are set to appear are pulled from a web source (don't know how many there will be, nor am I very willing to use hacky methods to get a scrollable list).

Even after conducting some research online, I couldn't find a solution to this annoying issue. Any ideas?
After conducting more tests, I finally found that it was the automatic height of the frame which I call NavigateTo on which causes this issue. Manually setting the height fixes the problem, but the problem with is I want the size to be dynamic but also know when content stops fitting on the screen. What could I do about that?
Edit: Fixed this - realised the frame was under a StackPanel (forgot that they break auto height/width).
I've got the problem, that I create an App, that will run on Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile. This App is a non-UWP Windows Store App.
The problem I have is, that I have a list of a custom control that one has another List, that is not expanded (=collapsed). That looks like this:
The red rectangles are the ContentPresenter items of the first ItemControl and the green rectangles are the ContentPresenter items of the ItemControl in the first lists items, that is not visible on startup. It will be visible after the click on the expand-button. Both ItemControls have a DataTemplate configured to present what you see in the screenshot. (XAML code below)
The main problem I have is, that if I change the Pivot to the Pivot you see at the screenshot above, there is a freeze of the app for several seconds. It depends on the device how long this freeze is. In the W10M-Emulator on my PC I don't recognize a freeze but on a Lumia 620 with WP8.1 I have a freeze of 8.5 seconds.
In the profiler of Visual Studio it looks like this (I selected the range that is the problem I am talking about):
What I am wondering about is the large orange line with "Layout". If I expand it to the "big players", there is 60-70ms for each not visible item in the profiler.
I am asking myself why this is the case, even if the items are not visible and are in the VirtualizingStackPanel. The Number of Items of the ItemSourcein this example is 3 for the first ItemControl (red boxes) and 17, 59 and 1 for the second ItemControls that are only visible of the first item is expanded.
What I am also wondering about is, that regarding the timeline, all of the Items are processed at the same time because their baseline is for all items the same. But if I scroll down the profiler timeline details, I see another Event called "Parsing" for each item. That one is not processed in parallel for each item but serial. And the parsing of the last item fits to the end of the layout-event. This parsing events look like this:
What is the reason why the parsing takes so long time? I don't think that the controls are very complex etc. and there are no code behind procedures except some string formattings.
Finally here is the XAML code:
My PivotItem on the "MainPage" of the App:
<PivotItem
Header="Echtzeit"
Margin="10,-20,10,0"
>
<Grid>
<ScrollViewer
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
>
<ItemsControl
ItemsSource="{Binding RealtimeDepartures, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay}"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Margin="0"

<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>

<VirtualizingStackPanel />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>

/>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</PivotItem>
The RealtimeStation Control XAML:
<UserControl
...
>
<UserControl.Resources>
<dec:BoolToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BoolToVisibilityConv"/>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<AppBarButton

Margin="48,12,0,0"

<TextBlock

<TextBlock

<ItemsControl

ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
Margin="-48,0,0,0"
Visibility="{Binding IsExpanded, ElementName=main, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisibilityConv}}"
>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<VirtualizingStackPanel />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentPresenter>
<controls:RealtimeDeparture
DepartureDetails="{Binding}"
FontSize="{Binding FontSize, ElementName=main, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay}"
/>
</ContentPresenter>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
And finally the RealtimeDeparture Control:
<UserControl
...
>
<Grid>
<control:DisruptionIcon

HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Icon="{Binding TrainIcon, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay}"

/>
<TextBlock
Text="{Binding DepartureDetailsText, ElementName=main, Mode=OneWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
Margin="3,0"
/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock
Text="{Binding InformationText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay, ElementName=main}"
Visibility="{Binding IsInformationVisible, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay, ElementName=main}"
Margin="3"
FontStyle="Italic"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
/>
<TextBlock
Text="Zug fällt aus!"
Foreground="Red"
FontWeight="Bold"
Visibility="{Binding IsCanceledVisible, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay, ElementName=main}"
Margin="3"
/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Does anybody has an idea how to speed up this parsing? What is the reason why it is so slow? Do I have a design issue that is disabling the virtualization-functionality of the VirtualizedStackPanel? I already tried a lot but didn't find the reason why it is so slow.
I don't think virtualization is turned on.
Try setting the CanContentScroll property to true on your ScrollViewer:
<ScrollViewer
CanContentScroll="true"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
>
The other option can be using e.g. ListBox which supports virtualization on its own (as far as I know it is enough to set the ItemsPanelTemplate to VirtualizingStackPanel)
Here I am again...
I have a ListView which loads items and prints them in the screen.
Everything is fine except I can't really make the XAML to work as I want it to.
The ListView outputs the content according to the DataTemplate which is supposed to output a "chat-like" display.
<DataTemplate x:Key="MessageListDataTemplate" x:DataType="disc:IMessage">
<Border Background="#2C2F33" BorderThickness="0,1,0,1" BorderBrush="Transparent" CornerRadius="5">
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="5,2,0,0">
<TextBlock TextAlignment="Left" Text="{x:Bind Author,Mode=OneWay}" Foreground="White" FontSize="14"/>
<TextBlock TextAlignment="Left" Margin="5,3,0,0" Text="{x:Bind Timestamp,Mode=OneWay,Converter={StaticResource TimeToStringConverter}}" Foreground="LightGray" FontSize="10"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock TextAlignment="Left" Margin="10,2,0,0" TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords" Text="{x:Bind Content, Mode=OneWay}" Foreground="#99AAB5" FontSize="20" />
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
The code is functional and it outputs this:
Instead of having the board to be sized according to the size of the message I would like it to be equal to the size of the screen. I have tried everything I know. Thank you!
Try adding the following style for the ListView:
<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
I have the below XAML and it does not do what I expect it to do.
<StackPanel Background="{Binding EwsColour}" Visibility="{Binding EwsVisibility}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<TextBlock Text="EWS" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontWeight="SemiBold" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="18" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" FontWeight="SemiBold" FontSize="100" />
</StackPanel>
I end up with this
I don't understand why the TextBlock that has 18 in, is growing bigger then then StackPanel. Can anyone tell me why?
After seeing Chris W''s comment I checked the Style in generic.xaml.
<Style x:Key="SubheaderTextBlockStyle" TargetType="TextBlock" BasedOn="{StaticResource BaseTextBlockStyle}">
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="26.667"/>
<Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Light"/>
<Setter Property="LineHeight" Value="30"/>
</Style>
I had no idea that there was a LineHeight property. Overriding it so that its the same as the font size (or bigger actually creates a better UX) stops this from happening.
<StackPanel Background="{Binding EwsColour}" Visibility="{Binding EwsVisibility}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" >
<TextBlock Text="EWS" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" VerticalAlignment="Top" FontWeight="SemiBold" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Text="18" Style="{StaticResource SubheaderTextBlockStyle}" FontWeight="SemiBold" FontSize="100" LineHeight="110" />
</StackPanel>
I have a LongListSelector control on a page in my Windows Phone 8 app. For this control I set a GroupHeaderTemplate and a ItemTemplate and both contain a TextBlock. If I align the TextBlock controls to center I have some weird behavior (maybe not weird but unexplainable to me at the moment). When I open the page on my phone the centered text moves ca. 5px to the right. The move is visible to the user (it's happening after the page is loaded). I tried to solve this problem but all margin changes (and other trials) did not change the behavior and my friend Google couldn't help me either. Can some explain to my why this is happening and how to solve this?
My code (simplified):
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="0">
<phone:LongListSelector x:Name="longList" LayoutMode="List" HideEmptyGroups ="true" Margin="5,0,5,5" ItemsSource="{Binding List, Mode=OneWay}" IsGroupingEnabled="True" Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<phone:LongListSelector.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="itemTemplate">
<Grid Margin="10,10,10,0" Background="#FFF3F1F1" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<TextBlock x:Name="name" Margin="10" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Text="{Binding Name}" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="40"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Key="groupHeaderTemplate">
<Grid Margin="10,10,10,0" Background="#FFF3F1F1" HorizontalAlignment="Center">

</Grid>
