You could use a DataGrid and set AutoGenerateColumns="True" on it. This assumes that all your properties can be displayed textually - if you have images to display, for instance, you are going to have to take over control yourself. WPF can only go so far.

|
|
Check out ListView, it is customizable to some degree (with AutoGenerateColumns=false) and it will probably serve you just fine.

What is the difference/benefit between this and using ListBox? I thought ListView was supposed to be used with views (ViewBase-derived objects), like GridView - isn't that the case?
|
|
|
|
|
What I meant (and also in my replay to OP) is that ListView (as opposed to ListBox) can be used this way
<ListView>
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}" Header="First Name" />
...
</GridView>
<ListView.View>
</ListView>
where the individual columns can be either autogenerated or more or less customized. Which I assume is what the OP wanted. This displays the "grid-view" known for example from file explorer if you select display mode->details.
This is (I think) the primary purpose of ListView.

There is a huge difference between ListView and ListBox. ListBox just displays a flat list of items whereas ListView supports columns, grouping, etc.

Well, I had this problem where I got so many answers but they couldn't work together as I desired.
Now, I have a decimal (money) field from my repository.
After binding my collection to a grid using the Galasofts Mvvm framework, I want +ve values to take the #,###,###.## format and the -ve values to take the (#,###,###.##) format. Zero values will then take #.## format. All this formatting I want to happen in the xaml. Not in my view models.
Most solutions offered money formatting but the has the dollar sign, and we dont use dollars. Others wont cater for the negative value, and others will not cater for the decimals.
So the best solution is
“#,0.00;(#,0.00);0”
The first bit is the format for positive numbers.
The second bit is how negative numbers are displayed
The third bit is for zeros
Practical example:
Binding="{Binding Amount, StringFormat=#\,0.00;(#\,0.00);0}"

I love these, are we supposed to guess the question or telepathically download the requirement form the ether. This being a forum where you can get answers, it is common to ask a question to get a reasoned response (unlike this sarcastic missive).
On the other hand if this is a 'suggestion' and you are trying to help others (having beaten the internet into submission getting the answer) then I suggest you present this as a Tip/Trick where it can be dealt with correctly and will actually help other.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Set the TextBlock's TextWrapping property to TextWrapping.Wrap. A Canvas parent won't resize or clip the TextBlock so you'll need to handle that yourself.

Set the width and height of the textblock explicitly.

Hi,
This width should depend upon the parent elements width or it should depend upon the ViewModel property that is binding to this textblock.
According to any of them it should able to take the value and wrap the text and fit within the browser but should not stretch beyond the browser size or monitor size.
Thanks,
Abdul

Then a Canvas isn't necessarily the proper parent element - it rarely is except for drawings and shapes etc. There's better panel elements for layout if you don't need pixel-level positioning.
If you must use a canvas then you could handle the canvas' SizeChanged event and in your handler code resize and/or reposition the textblock based on the values of the canvas' ActualWidth/ActualHeight properties.

Hi
I have a class library with code that is compatible with both Silverlight and standard .net libraries. (the minor incompatibilities can be solved with #if)
How I can compile the code for both of these platforms? I mean - how do I set up Visual Studio to have two output configurations - one for .net, one for silverlight, so that my bin folder will contain two compiled .dlls?
The project was initially created as Widnows Class Library and now I don't even know how to tell the VS to use Silverlight libraries to begin with

I want to create a control and use its size as data input from user. So adjust the control size by user's mouse is required, just like what we do to the window? Is there any existing property we can set to do this in WPF  ?

Here[^] is an excellent article on how to move and reshape controls in your app.
Good Luck!

I have styled a list so that the list items appear as hyperlinks. Here's my xaml:
<UserControl.Resources>
<converters:ProjectTypeImageValueConverter x:Key="projectTypeConverter"/>
<!--This is the template for the Recent projects list items-->
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:RecentProjectModel}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
Margin="2">
<Image Source="{Binding ProjectType, Converter={StaticResource projectTypeConverter}}"
Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
<TextBlock Width="150">
<Hyperlink Foreground="RoyalBlue">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Caption}"/>
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>
and
<ListBox x:Name="lstRecent"
Grid.Row="1"
Grid.Column="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding RecentProjects}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedRecentProject}"
BorderThickness="0"
Margin="3"
MinWidth="235"/>
When I click the link, the SelectedRecentProject is not set. If I click the image of the list item, it is set. How do I set the SelectedRecentProject when the link is clicked?
Thanks

Wow, I had to write a quick sample app for this one. The Hyperlink / TextBlock combo is eating the mouse down. You'll notice that the selection changed event never gets fired. You can set IsHitTestVisible="False" on the TextBlock (but you will lose the hand cursor)... or you need to derive a "HyperlinkEx" class from Hyperlink and set the focus to the parent yourself, or you can change controls to something else  . If you are OK with losing the hand cursor when they mouse over the link, the the IsHitTestVisible="False" is the quickest fix.
EDIT: actually, you probably need to do the derived class thing on TextBlock since Hyperlink isn't a UI element. Just derive a class from TextBlock and override PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown and chase up the visual tree til you hit the ListBoxItem. I whipped this out in a few seconds and it works without losing the hand cursor. I'll leave the clean up / error checking to you .
public class TextBlockEx : TextBlock
{
public TextBlockEx()
: base()
{
this.PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown += new MouseButtonEventHandler(HyperlinkEx_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown);
//this.MouseLeftButtonDown += new MouseButtonEventHandler(HyperlinkEx_MouseLeftButtonDown);
}
void HyperlinkEx_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
object v = this;
while (v != null)
{
if (v is ListBoxItem)
{
((ListBoxItem)v).IsSelected = true;
((ListBoxItem)v).Focus();
break;
}
v = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent((DependencyObject)v);
}
e.Handled = true;
}
}
