I have a TabControl which contains a StackPanel with many Expander. In each Expander I placed an UserControl. So, I have a clear view.
The UserControl contains a DataGrid. Now, the problem is, that the height from the DataGrid is not set. If the DataGrid is lager than the window-size no Scrollbar is shown.
<TabControl SelectionChanged="Selector_OnSelectionChanged" Height="Auto">
<TabItem Header="DoSmth">
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Misc" Height="Auto">
<StackPanel Height="Auto">
<Expander Header="Misc1" IsExpanded="False" Margin="0,10,0,0">
</Expander>
<Expander Header="Misc2" IsExpanded="False" x:Name="Misc2Expander" Expanded="ExpanderMisc2_OnExpanded" Height="Auto" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<view:Misc2View Background="WhiteSmoke" Width="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" VerticalContentAlignment="Top"/>
</Expander>
</StackPanel>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
If I tried to set the height in the UserControl a Scrollbar is shown, but it is not dynamic.
<view:Misc2View .... height="800" ... />
Update: I already tried to set the height with Binding:
Height="{Binding ElementName=Misc2Expander, Path=Height}"
The height
of the DataGrid
inside your UserControl
is not restricted until you set a fix height
explicitly.
<DataGrid Height="300" ... />
This will make Scrollbar
visible.
Edit:
To avoid explicit height, you can use Grid
with RowDefinitions
instead of StackPanel
and then bind DataGrid.Height
to Expander.ActualHeight
like this:
MainWindow:
<TabControl >
<TabItem Header="DoSmth">
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Misc" >
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Expander Grid.Row="0" Header="Misc1" IsExpanded="False" Margin="0,10,0,0">
</Expander>
<Expander Grid.Row="1"
Header="Misc2" IsExpanded="False" x:Name="Misc2Expander" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<view:Misc2View Background="WhiteSmoke"/>
</Expander>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
UserControl:
<DataGrid Height="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Expander}, Path=ActualHeight}" ... />
Second Edit
If I understand your issue correctly, then you need to set triggers for RowDefinitions
to set the Height
of currently expanded Expander
to *
while the Height
of other Expanders
remain Auto
like this:
<TabControl SelectionChanged="Selector_OnSelectionChanged" Grid.Row="0" >
<TabItem Header="DoSmth">
</TabItem>
<TabItem Header="Misc" >
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Name="GridRow1">
<RowDefinition.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type RowDefinition}">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="Auto" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=Misc1Expander,
Path=IsExpanded}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="*" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</RowDefinition.Style>
</RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Name="GridRow2">
<RowDefinition.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type RowDefinition}">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="Auto" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=Misc2Expander,
Path=IsExpanded}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="*" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</RowDefinition.Style>
</RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Name="GridRow3">
<RowDefinition.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type RowDefinition}">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="Auto" />
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=Misc3Expander,
Path=IsExpanded}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Height" Value="*" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</RowDefinition.Style>
</RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Expander Grid.Row="0"
Header="Misc2" IsExpanded="False" x:Name="Misc1Expander" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<view:Misc2View Background="WhiteSmoke"/>
</Expander>
<Expander Grid.Row="1"
Header="Misc2" IsExpanded="False" x:Name="Misc2Expander" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<view:Misc2View Background="WhiteSmoke"/>
</Expander>
<Expander Grid.Row="2"
Header="Misc2" IsExpanded="False" x:Name="Misc3Expander" Margin="0,10,0,0">
<view:Misc2View Background="WhiteSmoke"/>
</Expander>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>
You might want to set data binding on UserControl.Height
instead of DataGrid.Height
for other elements in your UserControl
to be visible:
<UserControl x:Class="view:Misc2View" ...
Height="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Expander},
Path=ActualHeight}" ... />
