WPF - Using grid in listbox item

Question

To begin with I am beginner to WPF, so please explain it with simple words.

I want to make custom listview item with quite a lot of elements. I decided to use grid to align it nicely. Unfortunately when i tried to see if everything is resizing ok, the background(listview item) resizes while grid doesnt. I think it is because grid isnt properly attached to listview item. So question is how can i attach grid to listview item so I can scale content properly?

Here is code (its a bit messy because of my tries to resolve problem):

Answer 1

ListView is often used like this:

use binding:

<ListView BorderThickness="0" >
      <ListView.View>
              <GridView>
                 <GridViewColumn Header="Name" Width="200" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>
                 <GridViewColumn Header="Address" Width="200" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Address}"/>
               </GridView>
</ListView.View>

or like this:

 <ListView BorderThickness="0" >
     <ListViewItem>
          <Grid >
             ....
          </Grid>
      </ListViewItem>
  </ListView>

are you sure you need set both ListView.View and ListViewItem ? It will looks like :

btw,you should not set grid's width and height,most important thing is your grid's content looks confused. you must set those lables in correct Grid.Col or Grid.Row, why you set ColumnSpan/RowSpan ? If you are sure it's correct?

Answer 2

here is what you need

add this style resource in your list view and remove width from your grid.

    <ListView BorderThickness="0"
                Height="440">
        <ListView.Resources>
            <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
                <Setter Property="Template">
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="ListViewItem">
                            <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}">
                                <ContentPresenter />
                            </Border>
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>
        </ListView.Resources>

by modifying default teplate from list view item will make the content re sizable

also remove the following as not necessary

<ListView.View>
    <GridView>
        <GridViewColumn/>
    </GridView>
</ListView.View>
