TextTrimming using WordEllipss not workong on TextBlock Text - xaml

This is my Xaml code. I want the subject to be trimmed. But there is no effect of wordellipsis.
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" Grid.Column="2" Margin="10, 0, 20, 0">
<TextBlock TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" Margin="0,2,0,2" Foreground="#666666"
Text="{Binding Subject}" FontSize="16" FontFamily="Segoe UI" FontWeight="Bold"/>
.....
</StackPanel>
What am I doing wrong ?

You can not limit the width of stack panel. I mean you can set maxwidth of stack panel and In UI maybe you will see that stackpanel's width is not increasing but actually it's with is increasing. What to do is just try to use Grid or If you need to use StackPanel, put a Grid in side of stackpanel and put your textblock inside of your grid. After that you need to give maxwidth to your grid...

Scrollview inside pivot item doesn't full scroll

Hello I have this Page XAML. The problem its that the text inside each PivotItem doesn't scroll correctly, just scroll a bit but no to the end. Pivot works correctly, you can flip Items Horizontally. How can i achieve the correct behavior on the scrolls?
<StackPanel>
<Pivot>
<PivotItem>
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollMode="Enabled">
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,12,0">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left"
TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords"
Foreground="#5D5B5D"
FontWeight="Light"
TextAlignment="Justify"
Margin="0,0,12,0"
Padding="0,0,4,0"
Text="Change for this a very large text so it can scroll!!! "></TextBlock>
<Button Content="OK"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Margin="0,18"
Padding="42,4"></Button>
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
</PivotItem>
<PivotItem>
<ScrollViewer VerticalScrollMode="Enabled">
<StackPanel Margin="0,0,12,0">
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left"
TextWrapping="WrapWholeWords"
Foreground="#5D5B5D"
FontWeight="Light"
TextAlignment="Justify"
Margin="0,0,12,0"
Padding="0,0,4,0"
Text="Change for this a very large text so it can scroll!!! "></TextBlock>
<Button Content="OK"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Margin="0,18"
Padding="42,4"></Button>
</StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
</PivotItem>
</Pivot>
From your code I saw that you use a StackPanel outside of the Pivot control, and you didn't set the orientation property, so by default the StackPanel stacks items vertically from top to bottom in the order they are declared. This will influence the Vertical-scroll-mode ScrollViewer inside of it.
A ScrollViewer works when its content's size bigger than the ScrollViewer's size, when a ScrollViewer is inside of a StackPanel, it has no limit of size, the size will fit the child inside of it, so can't a ScrollViewer work correctly.
In this case, you can change the StackPanel outside of your Pivot to Grid, it will solve the problem, or you can give your ScrollViewers a limit height like <ScrollViewer VerticalScrollMode="Enabled" Height="300">, this can also solve the problem.

GridView Items Width

Got a GridView that its items width are set by the first one width(Screenshot)
How could I set some auto width for each item?
<GridView ItemsSource="{x:Bind PopularItems}" Style="{StaticResource GVStyle}" Height="230">
<GridView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate x:Name="GVTemp" x:DataType="models:LessDetails">
<StackPanel>
<Image Height="180" Width="132" Source="{x:Bind Img}" />
<TextBlock Margin="4,4,0,4" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" TextAlignment="Center"
Text="{x:Bind Name}" Style="{ThemeResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridView.ItemTemplate>
You can not auto-width each item in a GridView control, it is by designed to use the first item's size as the uniform size (ListViewItemPresenter for each items has the same size).
For the auto-size scenario, I suggest you using the StackPanel or creating a custom ItemsControl.
Use an ItemsStackPanel:
<GridView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<ItemsStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</GridView.ItemsPanel>
The only downside is that it doesn't wrap items.. For that you can use the ItemsWrapGrid but then you lose the auto-width functionality (first item determines the width of all items).
There's also the VariableSizedWrapGrid that can be used by giving items a certain ColumnSpan/RowSpan, but it's not quite the same as automatically calculating the width.
If you want the best of both world, probably you'll need to write your own custom panel.
UPDATE: For a solution that allows for both automatic width and item wrapping, you can use the WrapPanel control from the UWP Community Toolkit.

Screen does not display full content of string

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

Border Control in Windows Phone 7, Auto Height & Width not right

I have a ListBox with this template in it.
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="Template">
<StackPanel Margin="0,10">
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Background="#FFFFC000" Width="460" MinHeight="76">
<StackPanel Margin="4,4,-4,-153">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding }" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="Black" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock " Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="Black" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
Yet I have to force set a Width and Height on the Border otherwise it makes like Width and Height of "2".
It is like it does not understand I have 2 TextBlock inside it and won't expand to fill both of them.
This leaves me with having to put a fixed height and width in what I don't like as if the text is too big it gets cutoff.
You can toss out your StackPanel's because you don't need them, they're also what's keeping your wrapping from working, you need a panel like a Grid for that. The negative Margin's also isn't something you'd normally see in a DataTemplate for a ListBox so I'd guess you have some other funky layout stuff going on from that sort of practice elsewhere up the tree.
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<DataTemplate x:Key="Template">
<Grid Margin="0,10">
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Background="#FFFFC000"/>
<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="4,4,-4,-153">
<Run Text="{Binding }"/><LineBreak/>
<Run Text="{Binding Mode=OneWay}"/>
</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
So unless I'm missing something somewhere this should fix you up as the Grid will handle the sizes of its children for you and consume the space necessary in its parent. However if there's something else in your structure pushing stuff around and won't let it consume that space it should invoke your Wrapping.
Hope this helps :)

How can I vertically align a TextBox inside a StackPanel?

In the following XAML, the word "Test" centers horizontally but not vertically.
How can I get it to center vertically?
<Window x:Class="TestVerticalAlign2343.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
Title="Window1" Height="768" Width="1024">
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<Slider x:Name="TheSlider"
DockPanel.Dock="Left"
Orientation="Vertical"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
Minimum="0"
Maximum="10"
Cursor="Hand"
Value="{Binding CurrentSliderValue}"
IsDirectionReversed="True"
IsSnapToTickEnabled="True"
Margin="10 10 0 10"/>
<Border DockPanel.Dock="Right" Background="Beige"
Padding="10"
Margin="10"
CornerRadius="5">
<StackPanel Height="700">
<TextBlock
Text="Test"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="200" x:Name="TheNumber"/>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</DockPanel>
</Window>
A stackpanel, no matter how you stretch it, will collapse around the children. you can't make it grow more than that. Basically, that "Height=700" is not helping you.
So either set VerticalAlignment on the StackPanel to "center" so that the stackpanel goes into the center of the dockpanel...or remove the stackpanel altogether and set VerticalAlignment="Center" on the TextBlock.
Seems I asked this question 10 months ago, I got the above scenario to work by replacing the StackPanel with DockPanel LastChildFill=True like this:
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<TextBlock
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
Text="Test"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="200" x:Name="TheNumber"/>
</DockPanel>
I stumbled across this which seems to work perfectly:
<Grid>
<TextBlock Text="My Centered Text"
TextAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
The Grid ensures that the single TextBox within it fills the solitary cell in the grid and the VerticalAlignment in the TextBlock ensures that the text is centered within than.
Simply position/align your text horizontally however you require (the above snippet centers it in this axis also, but changing this doesn't alter the vertical centering).
Inside the StackPanel that surrounds the TextBlock, check out VerticalContentAlignment.
