In my Metro application, I have a data source containing a certain number of items (say 25). I have a ListView that presents those items. My problem is that the ListView hav
The answer from @JesuX is the better approach -- if done correctly. The following ListView
subclass works fine for me:
public sealed class IntegralItemsListView : ListView
{
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size availableSize)
{
Size size = base.MeasureOverride(availableSize);
double height = 0;
if (Items != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < Items.Count; ++i)
{
UIElement itemContainer = (UIElement)ContainerFromIndex(i);
if (itemContainer == null)
{
break;
}
itemContainer.Measure(availableSize);
double childHeight = itemContainer.DesiredSize.Height;
if (height + childHeight > size.Height)
{
break;
}
height += childHeight;
}
}
size.Height = height;
return size;
}
}
One caveat -- if you plop an IntegralItemsListView
into a Grid
, it will have
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
by default, which defeats the purpose of this class.
Also: If the items are of uniform height, the method can obviously be simplified:
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size availableSize)
{
Size size = base.MeasureOverride(availableSize);
size.Height = (int)(size.Height / ItemHeight) * ItemHeight;
return size;
}
