I have the following xaml:

As you can see I would like to have the first column of my grid set to 67.. perfect, and working fine...
The next column needs to fill as much as it can of the screen minus the extra columns width after it.
How do I go about doing this?
Kind of linked to this: How to TextWrap a TextBlock within a width Auto Column? but I couldn't get the * thing to work... I'm not sure it really does what I need it to do
It's because you've got:
MaxWidth="Infinity"
on your TextBlock and
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
on your column.
This means that the XAML thinks it can grow that column as much as it likes to fit the text in.
If you want the text to wrap you'll have to provide a limit to either the width of the column, the width of the grid or the width of the stack panel.
If you want the middle column to take the remaining space then just specify it's width with a *:
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>

I've been trying to create control dynamically and so far it is working. But my problem is the layout
<Grid Grid.Row="2" >
<ItemsControl IsTabStop="False" ItemsSource="{Binding ListControls}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="120*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="120*"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Content="AN:" Margin="5,5,5,5" FontSize="14" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" FontSize="14" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Margin="5,5,5,5"/>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
With the xaml above. this is the screenshot of the layout
and if i use a xaml like this
<Grid Grid.Row="2" >
<ItemsControl IsTabStop="False" ItemsSource="{Binding ListControls}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Label Content="AN:" Margin="5,5,5,5" FontSize="14" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBox Width="100" FontSize="14" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Margin="5,5,5,5"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
But my goal is i want the textbox to expand if the program is maximized.
How can i adjust the xaml code in order to expand the textbox? Thank you
Directly use Grid instead of StackPanel also remove Width="100".
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" Content="AN:" Margin="5,5,5,5" FontSize="14" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"/>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" FontSize="14" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Margin="5,5,5,5"/>
</Grid>
I try to align the TextBlocks to the left.
The button should take the rest of the area (Up to the picture).
How can I do this?
This is a UWP / C# App.
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Button Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock1" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Name1"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="TextBlock2" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Name2" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>
</Grid>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
<Button Height="50" Width="50" Background="Transparent" Click="Button_Click">
<Image x:Name="ImageFavorit" Source="/Assets/Stern/VGrau64.png"/>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
Firstly you should replace your ColumnDefinitions to this:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
And secondly remove HorizontalAlignment="Left" from your Grid then you can achieve to what you want:
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Button Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
...
Also it seems that you need to set VerticalAlignment="Center" of your StackPanel too:
<StackPanel Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0"
HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center">
Update: Based on your comment that you want the text on the left side Set the HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" of the Button:
<Button Background="Transparent" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Left">
I somehow can't seem to get a line break in my TextBlock.
TextWrapping="Wrap" doesn't work. Also anything else such as TextTrimming doesn't affect my TextBlock at all. I assume an other control is blocking? Talking about the "txtErrorLabel"

Your textblock is in stackPanel which gives no boundary to your textBlock.
change parent to something which provides boundary to your textblock or set limits to stack panel itself.
TextWrapping will come into effect only when the textblock exceeds width of parent control. But stackPanel never imposes any boundary to its childs and hence all space is available.
a possible solution can be --
<Grid Width="500" Height="Auto" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="380"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="120"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ScrollViewer Grid.ColumnSpan="2">
<Grid >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" Text="Fehler: " HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="Auto" Width="Auto" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5,10,0,2" FontSize="14" FontFamily="Segoe UI" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1" x:Name="txtErrorLabel"
Foreground="Black"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Text="123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"

The result appears as follows
You can see that the date Textblock is not appearing fully. I couldn't find the reason for this unexpected behavior. Please help.
Thank you.
The problem appears to be in the sizing of your columns. See the following, inside the <toolkit:LongListMultiSelector.ItemTemplate>:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
In this case I would give the first column a static width and then the second can fill the remaining space. Like this:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
Alternatively you may wish to take a look into the ItemInfoTemplate property of the LongListMultiSelector.
It gives you the ability to display a second column at the far right which does not get squashed over by the checkboxes when they become active.
An example can be found here.
How do I make my middle column take up the full width available while allowing space for the comment section so that all those comment boxes are nicely aligned to the right:
<DataTemplate x:Key="ActivityStreamItemTemplate">
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5,0,0,0">
<Button Command="{Binding Path=DataContext.LoadSpacesCommand, ElementName=OrganisationList}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" Padding="-5,0,-5,-5" Margin="-7,-12,-7,-7" Height="auto" BorderThickness="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" UseLayoutRounding="True" FontSize="0.01">
<Grid Height="auto">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="67" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="60" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Height="auto" Grid.Column="0" Background="Transparent">
<Border Background="Transparent" BorderThickness="0" Width="62" Height="62" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,5">
<Image Source="{Binding created_by.image.link}" Width="62" Height="62"></Image>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Height="auto" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding type}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="30" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,5" Foreground="White" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ttitle}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="15" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,5" Foreground="White" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding created_by.name}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" FontSize="11" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,0,5" Foreground="White" />
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Height="60" Grid.Column="2" Margin="10,0,0,0">
<StackPanel.Background>
<ImageBrush Stretch="Fill" ImageSource="/Assets/Icons/CommentsIcon.png"/>
</StackPanel.Background>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding comments.Count}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontSize="20" Foreground="Black" TextAlignment="Center" Padding="0,8,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
I tried placing horizontal align on the third stackpanel but that actually didn't work.
EDIT: Thanks for the tries but no cigar:
You need to alter the style of the ListBoxItem itself to ensure that the content is stretched across the available width.
Define this style:
<Style x:Key="ListBoxItemStyle" TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
Then the Right alignment of the "Comments" image will work and the central text box will stretch to fill the available space.
You might find that just using a StackPanel with an horizontal orientation works better than a Grid for the item template, especially if the data in columns 0 and 2 are a constant width.
Play around with the space given for the columns, for example:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="67" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="3*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
This gives the center column 3 times more space than the right column
It's hard to tell exactly what you want because of how you've blurred your image. But I think the key is to make the container of the grid take up all available space, HorizontalAlignment="Stretch".
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="67" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="60" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!-- items here -->
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
The item you set to have Grid.Column="0" will have width 67dip, the one with Grid.Column="2" will be width 60dip, and the one with Grid.Column="1"will fill up the rest of the space.
dip = device independent pixels - all Windows Phone apps are measured as if the screen is 480x800 and then rendered at the actual resolution of the screen.
Inside a StackPanel you can't do HorizontalAlignment to right while its orientation is LeftToRight, as far as I know. Avoid using it.
The problem stems from using a StackPanel as the top-most UIElement. Use a Grid instead and follow the rest of this advice:
Right align content in ListBox
Which leads to this answer as well:
C# windows phone -Alignment in xaml ListBox.ItemTemplate
Your problem is the Button, if it's not mandatory try deleting it and add a "Tap" Event to the StackPanel, i've tried it and it works.
<DataTemplate x:Key="ActivityStreamItemTemplate">
<StackPanel Tap="...">
// no <Button> here
<Grid>
---
</Grid>
// no </Button> here
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
better option
<DataTemplate x:Key="ActivityStreamItemTemplate">
<Grid Tap="...">
...
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
