We have put a scroll viewer inside a content panel in design page of a databound app. We have to add more number of textblocks inside the scrollviewer which we cannot do by dragging and dropping from the toolbar as the design shows only three textblocks...
You can add the textboxes manually and specify it's margin. You don't need to drag and drop. For example:
<Grid x:Name="Content Panel">
<ScrollViewer>
<TextBox x:Name="textbox_1" Margin="10,0,0,0"/>
<TextBox x:Name="textbox_2" Margin="10,10,0,0"/>
<TextBox x:Name="textbox_3" Margin="10,20,0,0"/>
<TextBox x:Name="textbox_4" Margin="10,30,0,0"/>
..and so on.
Margin parameters are Left, Top, Right and Bottom. Keep increasing the top margin to push the control below.

According to the Microsoft documentation, it states the following for the Two Pane View:
By default, Pane1Length is set to Auto and it sizes itself to fit its content. Pane2Length is set to * and it uses all the remaining space.
With the following code, I don't see that defualt behavior being applied. Am I missing some extra properties I need to explicitly set? My end goal is simply for Pane1 to always show on a Single screen device, and hide Pane2.
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<muxc:TwoPaneView x:Name="MyTwoPaneView">
<muxc:TwoPaneView.Pane1>
<Grid x:Name="Pane1Root"
Background="Orange">
</Grid>
</muxc:TwoPaneView.Pane1>
<muxc:TwoPaneView.Pane2>
<Grid x:Name="Pane2Root"
Background="Green">
</Grid>
</muxc:TwoPaneView.Pane2>
</muxc:TwoPaneView>
</Grid>
Fixed. Since Pane1 has no content or min width, Auto sizing gives it 0px of width in wide mode. Setting MinWidth will find that it appears when the window is wide enough.
I have very frustrating problem. I have an WP8.1 app (WinRT - Universal) in which I use pivot control and above it I have search button (screen here: http://oi67.tinypic.com/2r5s13d.jpg ). Search button is in Grid.Column 0 and Pivot is in Grid.Column 1, but I have this strange margin (marked on screen) which I can't get rid of and it covers my search button (only half of it is active). My Grid.Column 1 and pivot should start on line closer to the word "TEST" and theoretically it is, but the second line (higher one) which shouldn't be there, it's there, it's empty but it's prohibit search button to be tapped. In header template I have a following code:
<Pivot.HeaderTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" FontSize="20" Margin="0,3,0,0" FontWeight="Normal"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</Pivot.HeaderTemplate>
Can anybody help me?
Try add Margin inside Pivot Control etc. Margin="0,-20,0,0" and add pivot control behind from search button for you can tap this.
I have created my first Expression Blend page. It looks flat and dull. WIthout going overboard, how do I add a touch of depth to this page.
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/looks%20like%20poo_zps3wt7phoj.png
I have changed it so that the LayoutRoot has a grey background and I have changed the textboxes like so:
<Border BorderBrush="#FF121111" BorderThickness="2" Grid.Row="0" Margin="90,194,192,0" Height="45" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="White">
<TextBlock Height="33" Margin="6,6,6,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" TextWrapping="Wrap" Foreground="Black" d:LayoutOverrides="HorizontalAlignment"/>
</Border>
But the textboxes still do not have the 3d depth that typical areas that ask for user input have. For example, if you click to open a file in most programs, the area to add a file name looks as if it is more depressed (pushed down) so that the top of the box is defined and has a thicker line than the bottom of the text box.
I have a nother, simpler question that is related to this. How do I do a test run of the page in Expression Blend to see how it performs and looks when I do a mouse over and mouse click on the controls?
I have a [silverlight] WizardContainer control that hosts a number of wizard pages. The wizard fits nicely on its host form. If the page has narrow content it doesn't expand to fill the container. So I set HorizontalContentAlignment to Stretch. This works.
However if the wizard page contains a datagrid with lots of columns it stretches the page instead of autoscrolling itself - as its width is not fixed. If the following XAML is on a usercontrol with a width of 350 I want the grid to be 350 and have its own scrollbars. If the WizardContainer is made smaller than the page minwidth then the MainScroller should come into play.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" >
<ScrollViewer x:Name="MainScroller" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" >
<ContentControl Margin="4" x:Name="WizardContainer" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid Background="Red" x:Name="WizardPage" MinWidth="300">
<sdk:DataGrid HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="120" >
<sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Width="150"/>
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Width="150"/>
<sdk:DataGridTextColumn Width="150"/>
</sdk:DataGrid.Columns>
</sdk:DataGrid>
</Grid>
</ContentControl>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
Note if I fix the width of the datagrid everything in this XAML works. But I want the grid to expand as the user resizes the form containing the wizardcontainer.
You have the DataGrid wrapped in ScrollViewer. This, effectively, tells the DataGrid that it has infinite available width. Since the DataGrid is not constrained, it'll take as much width as it's columns desire.
You can set HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"if that fits your design (i.e. you need only vertical scrolling from your ScrollViewer). This will disable scrolling horizontally and will constrain the DataGrid on the horizontal axis.
DataGrid has a ScrollViewer in it's ControlTemplate. As a broad general rule: try avoiding a ScrollViewer-in-a-ScrollViewer situations. It's (almost) always a headache to debug and eventually you'll have to set something as a fixed size (or calculate the size on the fly).
I have a custom WPF control to display a list of items using an ItemsControl. The ItemsPresenter is defined in the template to display the list and it is embedded inside a ScrollViewer for scrolling purposes:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ItemsControl">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<ScrollViewer Margin="3">
<ItemsPresenter/>
</ScrollViewer>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
My application creates two instances of the custom control to show the list side by side.
What I want is when user selects an item on the first one, the second control automatically scrolls so that the same item is displayed in the same position relative to the top. To accomplish this I need to know
How to get the position (in pixels) of the selected item in the first control?
How to scroll to the same position in the second control?
Are there any other ways to do this?
