I have a listBox, wich I fill from some collection. Each item of collection has some info: static name and picture, and dynamic content(text, photo or photos, etc). I want to change the listbox's item height for each item of collection. Height depends of content, if it has only text - item of listbox must have static (textblock for name, image for picture) and a textblock with text, and textblock's heigth must change acording to text (if it's 2-3 strings height will be min, if text fit in 15-20 strings - height of textblock must change accordind to strings), if item of collection include text and image - it must have static (textblock for name, image for picture), textblock for text, and image for image. Height of listbox's item must depend of textblock size and image size.
At this time, I have a listbox with static item's height, and want to make height dynamic.
here is one of my listbox's item

Try by replacing all the hard coded properties with auto, like height=auto and width=auto.
If you want to fill the total row make the HorizontalAlignment=:stretch".
Make the textblock property TextWrapping="wrap" and MinWidth as fixed as you want.
you can use "auto" value for Height of ListBox in xaml code
<ListBox Height="auto">
</ListBox>

So I have a rather interesting question. I have a viewbox that has a few elements in it (a custom user control for an image, a canvas, a label, and a textbox). What I want is to try and have all elements scale with the viewbox, but I want the label and the textbox to have a "Max Size." I have tried using a max width and height on these controls but they seem to ignore it. If someone could take a look at my code below an slap me for what I am doing wrong that would be appreciated.
<Viewbox Name="myViewBox" Stretch="Uniform">
<!--Grid used to track mouse movements in this element for other reasons -->
<Grid Name="grdViewboxGrid" MouseMove="trackMouse">

If I am not including something that is needed please let me know and I will update my question. Any help would be greatly appreciated this is now day 4 on this issue sadly :-(
I am not sure why you need so many overlapping Grids, but I hope that I can answer your question nevertheless:
In order to have the label left of the text box and to assign a maximum width to each of these two controls, use a Grid with two columns and set the MaxWidth property for each column. Then, assign the label to the left column (the one with index 0) and assign the text box to the right column (index 1). The corresponding code fragment looks like this:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="30"/>
<ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="156" MinWidth="30"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" x:Name="lblViewboxLabel" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Foreground="Yellow"
Padding="5,5,5,0" Margin="0,5,0,0"
Style="{x:Null}"
Content="{Binding lblContent}" />
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" x:Name="txtViewboxTextBox" Text="{Binding txtViewbox}" Background="Orange"/>
</Grid>
I also have assigned a MinWidth to the right column; this is necessary to make sure that the text box does not completely disappear if it contains no text.
I have one problem - my stackpanel is vey big and it breaks(background color is changed to black).. What should i do to improve it?

There is a limitation of 2048px in Windows Phone UIElements.
You should try to break your different elements into smaller elements (for example: you could put several stackpanels inside the first one).
In TextBox elements there is a workaround explained here.
Best this is to make the Main Window to white background and Make your stackpanel as transparent background instead of giving any color to it. It works great as I have tested it.
Try this code, but first you need to add windows toolkit library.
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
<toolkit:PhoneTextBox
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Name="txtString"
ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
MaxHeight="200"
PlaceholderText="Add text"
Padding="5"
Width="370"
FontFamily="Open Sans Light"
FontSize="22"
Height="Auto" ///Use Auto or provide height value
Margin="10"
/>
This code is used for Scrolling as well work for Auto Growing Textbox. If you don't want Auto Growing Textbox then provide height instead of Auto in Height attribute.
I have an app that is based on the Panorama control. Clicking on an item on one of the Panorama control's pages (tabs) goes to a details page. On that details page I have the XAML below that renders the item content. As you can see there is a TextBlock hosted by a StackPanel in the phone:PanoramaItem.Header element. I want the text in that element to wrap the video title the TextBlock is bound to in the view model. I have TextWrapping set to wrap and I have assigned it a fixed width so the TextBlock doesn't grow/expand (and therefore won't wrap). The text does wrap, but some lines still appear clipped with some words appearing "cut off". What is wrong with my XAML?
I read about using a DockPanel instead:
TextBlock Wrapping in WPF Layout
But this app has a StackPanel used on a lot of different pages so if I can stick with a StackPanel I'd prefer it.

I need to find a specific control in xaml to manipulate in code to change the background.
My problem is, can't find the specific control.
I tried .FindByName(Textblock) and with visualtreehelper. Also tried to type it in code txtVeranderkleur but the system doesn't know the control because it's inside childs i guess. Didn't work all for me.
I need to find "txtVeranderkleur". So I can change the color in code.

FindName won't work for elements inside of a DataTemplate.
If you must, you can use lbDagprogrammaInfo.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex to get the ListBoxItem containing the txtVeranderkleur you want to modify and use VisualTreeHelper.GetChild to search down the visual tree for the TextBlock.
If you can logically determine the color based on data in the DataContext of each item, you could bind Background to the appropriate Property and use an IValueConverter to choose the color.
You should also look into using Visual States to change the color if you're only looking to change the color based on the ListBox functionality, such as selection.
EDIT:
Here's a snippet of what the VisualTreeHelper path would look like, though you should find a more generic approach.
ListBoxItem l = lbDagprogrammaInfo.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(0) as ListBoxItem;
Border b = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(l, 0) as Border;
ContentControl c = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(b, 0) as ContentControl;
ContentPresenter p = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(c, 0) as ContentPresenter;
StackPanel s = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(p, 0) as StackPanel;
TextBlock t = s.FindName("txtVeranderkleur") as TextBlock;
I cant figure out what I am doing wrong I have a grid with 2 columns and 3 rows. In the left column I have a textblock and textbox and a listbox which is all good.
The right column gets a little more complicated where I have a tabcontrol to start. Then my TabItem and inside that I have my Main Grid and then inside that I have 2 grids. Which are grdDetailsTop and then grdDetailsBottom.
grdDetailsTop has 3 columns where the left will be an image with a Border the middle should be Member Code: 'TextBox' and under that should be Family Code: 'TextBox' and then finally under that I would like to place Balance: 'TextBox'
The way I tried it was, I have grdDetailsTop Grid with 3 columns in the first column I placed a groupbox and inside that I have a stackpanel.
Second Column is where I am having trouble I placed a Stackpanel with the orientation Horizontal and grid.Column="1" but my textblocks are going into the 3rd column without me telling them too. Sorry for the bad explanation but the code is posted hopefully you can help. Also the reason for my different Panels is so I can place a border around each column of the grdDetailsTop.

You're missing the VerticalAlignment = "Top" on that TextBlock, and therefore, it is defaulting to Stretch which will center the text in the available vertical space. If you set that property, you'll see that it moves back up to be in line with the other TextBoxes in the same StackPanel.
It isn't actually moving that TextBox into the next column, rather, you've defined a fixed width of the column it is in (in this case, column 1 with a width of 200). But the contents of that column (the StackPanel are more than 200 units wide, so they push over into the next grid column. To keep all the TextBoxes in column 1, you'll either need to widen the column so they can fit, shrink the size of the TextBoxes or set the width Auto so it will automatically size itself to its contents. If you look at it, you're taking up 175 units with TextBlocks 2 and 3, leaving only 25 units for the rest of the TextBlocks in that StackPanel. There's just not enough space.
<StackPanel Margin="5" MaxWidth="200" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5" Height="25">Member Code:</TextBlock>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5" Width="75" Height="25"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5" Height="25" Width="100">Family Code:</TextBlock>
... other text boxes ...
</StackPanel>
This will fix the vertical layout issue, but not the Horizontal layout issue. That requires changes to the grid column sizing or the size of the contents.
Per your comment below, I believe you're looking for the WrapPanel which will automatically wrap items to the next line (horizontal or vertical) when it runs out of space.
<WrapPanel Margin="5" MaxWidth="200" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5" Height="25">Member Code:</TextBlock>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5" Width="75" Height="25"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="5" Height="25" Width="100">Family Code:</TextBlock>
... other text boxes ...
</WrapPanel>
This layout certainly looks nicer. But - I don't know your specific requirements, however rather than using a WrapPanel with fixed margins and sizes, I would recommend using a Grid with ColumnDefinitions and RowDefinitions to organize items in this type of layout. The Grid offers a much greater level of flexibility and allows for items to automatically resize based on system font sizes, a user resizing your view and other factors out of your control. If you are setting fixed heights/widths, you lose that flexibility. Again, I don't know you're requirements, so perhaps this is the best solution for you, but under most circumstances, I'd highly recommend a Grid instead.
