I am new in UWP and I get some misunderstanding grid RowDefinitions and ColumnDefinitions as is mentioned in oficial doc. I have to make a custom list element, something like this:
but I can't handle it. In fact the main problem is how to set fill_parent property for a child view.
You can use this method like it's indicated in your mentioned docs. As is described in your img the last element it's in the middle vertically, so this layout will be:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition
Height="24" />
<RowDefinition
Height="20" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition
Width="44" />
<ColumnDefinition
Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition
Width="10" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Rectangle
Fill="Red"
Grid.RowSpan="2"
Grid.Column="0"/>
<Rectangle
Fill="Green"
Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="1" />
<Rectangle
Fill="Yellow"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="1" />
<Grid
Grid.RowSpan="2"
Grid.Column="2">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition
Height="*" />
<RowDefinition
Height="*" />
<RowDefinition
Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Rectangle
Fill="Gray"
Grid.Row="1"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
For simplicity and clarity I was using Rectangle
Filling the space can be done with
width="*"
And the small complexity in your layout could be handled with nested grid system.
Here is the beginning, not the complete solution for your layout.
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="44"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="44"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="24"/>
<RowDefinition Height="20"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
</Grid>
</Grid>

I have UserControl with a Grid that is divided into rows and columns. Something like this:
how can I add ListView on multiple rows and columns? For example:
Part of my xaml:
<Grid Margin="30,0,30,0" Background="#00000000">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="80" />
<RowDefinition Height="60" />
<RowDefinition Height="160"/>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
<RowDefinition Height="50"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.4*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.4*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions >
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.5*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.5*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="1"
FontSize="28"
FontFamily="../Fonts/#GeForce-Bold"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Foreground="White">
<TextBlock Text="Deploy" TextDecorations="Underline"/>
</Label>
...
...
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions >
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.5*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.5*"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="0.3*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="0.7*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
...
...
My goal is to display ListView at rows 0-3 and columns 0-2.
Mark already gave the hint in the comments, but for the sake of having an answer including an example, here it is:
You are locking for the Grid.ColumnSpan (or Grid.RowSpan) property.
The following code will place the list view starting in column 1 and extending over a total of 2 columns:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="10"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ListView Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<ListViewItem>item 1</ListViewItem>
<ListViewItem>item 2</ListViewItem>
</ListView>
</Grid>
How can I stop this Grid from expanding vertically and adding all this extra space between the rows?
<ContentPage.Content>
<StackLayout>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Source="testsquare" />
<Image Source="testsquare" Grid.Column="1"/>
<Image Source="testsquare" Grid.Row="1"/>
<Image Source="testsquare" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"/>
</Grid>
</StackLayout>
</ContentPage.Content>
This is what it should look like (ignore the background color change)
Use "Auto" instead of "*"
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
It appears to be a bug, where the grid height is being treated as if the image is being displayed at its full height.
<Grid BackgroundColor="CornflowerBlue">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Source="testsquare" />
<Image Source="testsquare" Grid.Column="1" />
</Grid>
There is a spacing property in Grid .
Grid has properties to control spacing between rows and columns. The following properties are available for customizing the Grid:
ColumnSpacing – the amount of space between columns. The default value of this property is 6.
RowSpacing – the amount of space between rows. The default value of this property is 6.
You can set RowSpacing or ColumnSpacing to check whether can solve it .
<StackLayout Padding="5">
<Grid RowSpacing="5" ColumnSpacing="5">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Source="icon.png" BackgroundColor="Accent"/>
<Image Source="icon.png"
BackgroundColor="Accent"
Grid.Column="1" />
<Image Source="icon.png"
BackgroundColor="Accent"
Grid.Row="1" />
<Image Source="icon.png"
BackgroundColor="Accent"
Grid.Column="1"
Grid.Row="1" />
</Grid>
</StackLayout>
About Image , The Aspect property determines how the image will be scaled to fit the display area, with Fill or AspectFill .(Default is AspectFit)
How can I put button into row which is inside column?
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200" />
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="300" Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="1">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition MaxHeight="50" MinHeight="50"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
</Grid>
Grid.Row="2" is out of index. Grid.Colum="1" puts the button into correct column. What might be the correct way to use those rows?
Your initial row index guess was correct. You just need to put your button in the proper place in your XAML.
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200" />
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="300" Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Column="1">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition MaxHeight="50" MinHeight="50"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Row="2"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I have a Grid with its background as black an opacity to 0.5 and in it is there another grid with opacity to 1 and background as White. But the inner grid still shows as its opacity was 0.5
<Grid Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.RowSpan="2" Background="Black" Opacity="0.5" Visibility="{Binding Alertar, Converter={cnv:boolToVisibilityConverter}}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="2*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="5*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="2*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Background="Black" Opacity="1">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="7*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="10*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1.5*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Rectangle Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Grid.RowSpan="2" Fill="Black" Opacity="1"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Margin="0,15,0,0" Text="{Binding ReporteInconsistencias}" />
<Button Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Content="Aceptar" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="10"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I'm trying to emulate a win8 alert screen there is another way to do this? or How to prevent this inheritance? why this happen?
A little messy but this should work i think. Basically controls are stacked. So having the grid come after the first grid it shouldn't effect the opacity. May need to be tweaked, but something along the lines of this should work:
<Grid Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.RowSpan="2" Visibility="{Binding Alertar, Converter={cnv:boolToVisibilityConverter}}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="2*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="5*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="2*"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.RowSpan="3" Background="Black" Opacity="0.5" />
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Background="Black" Opacity="1">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="7*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="10*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1.5*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Rectangle Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Grid.RowSpan="2" Fill="Black" Opacity="1"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Margin="0,15,0,0" Text="{Binding ReporteInconsistencias}" />
<Button Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Content="Aceptar" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="10"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
I have a grid with 2 rows and 2 columns in WPF. I would like that the column widths are independent for each row. I tried "auto", but no success. Here is a picture in order to explain:
How can I accomplish this using grid?
If you must use a grid layout, then you have a couple of options:
Option 1: Make each row a single column and then nest a grid in each row you would like independent columns:
XAML
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" />
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="BBBBBBB"">
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" Text="CCCCCCC" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
Option 2: Make use of ColumnSpan in the rows:
XAML
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition />
<ColumnDefinition />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Text="BBBBBBB"">
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="CCCCCCC" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
*These were typed without an editor and may need a bit of tweaking.
Two grids?
<StackPanel Width="277">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"/>
</Grid>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Text="BBBBBBB" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="CCCCCCC" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
