How do I make WPF ListView items repeat horizontally, like a horizontal scrollbar?
I have a WPF ListView which repeats the data vertically. I cannot figure out how to make it repeat horizontally, like the slideshow view in Windows Explorer. My current ListView definition is:
<ListView ItemsSource="{StaticResource MyDataList}" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ListViewTemplate}">
</ListView>
The DataTemplate is (although I believe this should not matter);
<Rectangle HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,1,0,0" x:Name="rectReflection" Width="Auto" Grid.Row="1" Height="30">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<VisualBrush Stretch="None" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Top" Visual="{Binding ElementName=imgPhoto}">
<VisualBrush.RelativeTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<MatrixTransform Matrix="1,0,0,-1,0,0" />
<TranslateTransform Y="1" />
</TransformGroup>
</VisualBrush.RelativeTransform>
</VisualBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
<Rectangle.OpacityMask>
<RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.5,1.041">
<RadialGradientBrush.RelativeTransform>
<TransformGroup>
<ScaleTransform CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5" ScaleX="1.202" ScaleY="2.865"/>
<SkewTransform AngleX="0" AngleY="0" CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5"/>
<RotateTransform Angle="0" CenterX="0.5" CenterY="0.5"/>
<TranslateTransform X="-0.002" Y="-0.491"/>
</TransformGroup>
</RadialGradientBrush.RelativeTransform>
<GradientStop Color="#D9000000" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#01FFFFFF" Offset="0.8"/>
</RadialGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.OpacityMask>
</Rectangle>
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
Set the ItemsPanel of the ListView to a horizontal StackPanel. Like this:
<ListView.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"></StackPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ListView.ItemsPanel>
Perhaps a better way to do this would be to use a VirtualizingStackPanel which has all of the same properties but is much more performant especially for listboxes with lots of items.
I found it easier to go this way
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Steps}">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding PageName}" Padding="10" />
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<WrapPanel></WrapPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
