Screen does not display full content of string - xaml

i'm using the textblock to display the content,but for the long content, it just cut off and not display the content fully while i'm sure that the i filled the content string. Pls show me where my code is wrong. Thanks
Link of the my screen: www.flickr.com/photos/37903269#N05/15332152972/
my xaml code :
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
<!-- <phone:WebBrowser VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Name="webBrowser1" /> -->
<ListBox Name="Listbox_DetailPage">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Content}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextNormalStyle}"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
</Grid>

I executed the code shared and it seems to wrap text as shown in the screen shot below.
The screenshot you shared seems to have vertical cropping of the text as well. For that, we can set the ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility to 'Auto' with proper Height given.
Also, for your additional knowledge or may be future use, here are some stackoverflow questions which explains the text 'NOT WRAPPING' issue for StackPanel
TextBlock TextWrapping not wrapping inside StackPanel
TextBlock TextWrapping not wrapping

actually, i fixed it.Because of the limitation of sing UI: 4096px limit of size. So there is a need to split the long content in the more than one TextBlock or you can create a scrollabe textbock as here

Apply Parallax effect into GridView

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/motion/parallax
this is microsoft instruction to use the paralax they use the ListView to demo the effect
but my data is stored inside the Grid.View so can anyone show me how to implement into it ?
Microsoft said that we can use this with any element that contain the scrollviewer
ParallaxView works with GridView. The Source property of ParallaxView is for setting the element that either is or contains the ScrollViewer that controls the parallax operation. Here in your code snippet it bind the ForegroundElement to Source property but no such an element in. You need to name the GridView as ForegroundElement .
<GridView
x:Name="ForegroundElement"
IsItemClickEnabled="True"
ItemClick="Grid_Clicked"
ItemsSource="{x:Bind Icons}">
...
</GridView>
Besides this, the code snippet should work well. If you still cannot see the effects it may be caused by items count is not enough. ScrollViewer inside the GridView or ListView only be shown when the host control's layout space is being constrained smaller than the expanded content size, details please see ScrollViewer in a control template. You could try to add more items to check the effects.
Additionally, edit the question to add more details and avoid to put it as an answer.
<GridView Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{x:Bind Icons}" IsItemClickEnabled="True" ItemClick="Grid_Clicked">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:DataType="data:Icon">
<StackPanel>
<Image Width="200" Height="200" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Source="{x:Bind ImageCover}"/>
<TextBlock FontSize="16" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{x:Bind Title}"/>
<TextBlock FontSize="10" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="{x:Bind Room}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
</GridView>
this is where the data stored
and this is the parallax
<ParallaxView Source="{x:Bind ForegroundElement}" VerticalShift="50">
<!-- Background element -->
<Image x:Name="BackgroundImage" Source="Assets/turntable.png"
Stretch="UniformToFill"/>
</ParallaxView>

Doesnt show the full article

I have some long article to show in an view. So I made a TextBlock and bound Text with Content property.
Xaml:
<Grid Margin="12,24,12,0"
Background="White">
<TextBlock FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeExtraLarge}"
FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilySemiLight}"
Foreground="Black"
Text="{Binding Column.Title}"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Margin="0,0,0,12"
VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<ScrollViewer Margin="0,62,0,10">
<TextBlock FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMediumLarge}"
Text="{Binding Column.Content}"
TextWrapping="Wrap" />
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
The last paragrafs of the article:
The problem is that it doesn’t show the last paragraphs O_o:
What is the problem and how can I fix it?
The reason for this behavior is that any element that must be displayed beyond the area which is larger than 2048x2048 pixels would be clipped by the platform.

Phone 8 XAML: Horizontal Alignment in LongListSelector

I've got a long list selector.
All I want to do is to align two elements inside the ItemTemplate:
1. a button to the right with a given, fixed width
2. a text panel to the left that fills the remaining space of the display.
But unfortunately the text panel is not strechted and the button is aligned to right end of text of the text panel. :(
This is my code:
<DataTemplate x:Key="AddrBookItemTemplate">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Name="DummerContainer" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding Name}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="120"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
and
<phone:LongListSelector
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
x:Name="AddrBook"
JumpListStyle="{StaticResource AddrBookJumpListStyle}"
Background="Transparent"
GroupHeaderTemplate="{StaticResource AddrBookGroupHeaderTemplate}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource AddrBookItemTemplate}"
LayoutMode="List"
IsGroupingEnabled="true"
HideEmptyGroups ="true"/>
So, this is my question: How can I align the two elements correctly?
That's a result of using a horizontal StackPanel...
Use a Grid rather than a StackPanel in your DataTemplate. Then you can define the ColumnDefinitions to assign the space as you require, i.e.:
define column 0 as Width="*" and put your TextBlock in it
define column 1 as Width="Auto" put your Button in it.
Afaik, Stackpanel is faster than Grid. So, i decided to find out the root of the problem. And i found it here: http://y2bd.me/blog/2013/08/16/fixing-alignment-issues-with-datatemplateselector/
Works fine for me.

ListBox will only scroll up when put inside ExpanderView

I'm relatively new to XAML and Windows Phone development.
I have a ListBox that display a text block. Everything works fine when I just have the ListBox inside a grid, including the scrolling. I wanted the user to be able to collapse the ListBox if they wanted more space on the page to look at other elements, so I surrounded the ListBox with an ExpanderView. Once I did that though, the ListBox won't scroll down anymore. If I try to scroll down, it acts as if I am trying to scroll up and "squishes" the text vertically. If I try to scroll up, it also "squishes" the text vertically, but that is the expected behavior for scrolling up.
Here is the relevant part of my XAML code:
<toolkit:ExpanderView Header="Chatlog" x:Name="chatlogExpander" FontSize="24" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="2">
<toolkit:ExpanderView.Items>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding chatlog}" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Grid.Row="2">
<ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemsPanel>
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock x:Name="ChatBlock" TextWrapping="Wrap">
<Run Text="{Binding player}" Foreground="{Binding color}" FontSize="24" FontWeight="Bold"/><Run Text="{Binding text}" Foreground="{Binding color}" FontSize="24"/>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>
</toolkit:ExpanderView.Items>
</toolkit:ExpanderView>
I appreciate any help you guys can give me!
I tried an example with your code and after specifying a Height for the ListBox, it started to scroll fine.

Binding Hyperlink to richtextblock in windows 8 Metro app

I am building a windows 8 metro app for fun/learning etc.
I have created a listview of text items that have descriptions, images etc. Inside the description, there are often hyperlinks that I would like to make clickable.
However, when binding to a textblock, xaml hyperlink code is displayed as text. Searching arround, it looks like I need to use a richtextblock for hyperlinks. I can't seem to figure out how to bind a hyperlink to it. I have found many examples from wpf showing how to extend the richtextblock using flowdocument. Flowdocument doesn't exist in the current consumer preview version of the framework.
I am reaching out to see if anyone has solved this issue or has any suggestions on what path to head down.
Edit:
Code I have Currently
right now I am just binding the "text" field from my Statuses Object to a textblock binding on "text"
I have URL's in the text field which I want to be able to make clickable.
As a test I was replacing the text field of the first object with hyperlink markup
ex.
feed_results[0].text = "<hyperlink .....
then trying to bind to texblock and richtextblock
Xaml
<ListView x:Name="ItemListView" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Background="Black" Width="372" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="50,0,0,0">
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" MinHeight="100">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image Source="{Binding user.profile_image_url}" Margin="0,0,15,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="Gray" Text="{Binding user.name}" FontWeight="Bold" TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxWidth="200" />
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="Gray" Text="{Binding text}" TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxWidth="200" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Margin="0,15,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding created_at, Converter={StaticResource StringConverter},ConverterParameter=Released: \{0:d\}}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Foreground="Gray" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
Backend Code
FeedResult<Statuses> r2 = await feed.StatusesAsync(1, 50);
if (!r2.HasError)
{
feed_results = r2.Result;
Dispatcher.Invoke(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.High, new Windows.UI.Core.InvokedHandler((o, a) =>
{
ItemListView1.ItemsSource = feed_results;
}), this, null);
}
Microsoft removed support for inline hyperlinks from Metro XAML. You can still use HyperlinkButton for non inline hyperlinks, or if your inline hyperlinks short (1-2 words) then you could place HyperlinkButton inside of InlineUIContainer in RichTextBlock. Later solution would require some code, just using binding won't do it.
