Here's an example where it is not working:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication2"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<TreeView HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TreeViewItem Header="Stuff" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0">Some random text</Label>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1"></TextBox>
</Grid>
</TreeViewItem>
</TreeView>
</Window>
I want the text box to stretch to the width of the window, but instead you get this:
The textbox expands as you type, which is not what I want.
I am thinking now it might be possible to set a binding on the width of the 2nd column to the width of the TreeViewItem
but I'm not sure how to do that.
I've tried putting the grid in assorted panels, but that doesn't work either. I have also set the HorizontalAlignment
and HorizontalContentAlignment
to Stretch
on the textbox itself, but that also doesn't work.
Is this some limitation of the Grid
control? Putting a textbox in a tree view by itself will make it expand as I want, but I need the label to be next to it and if there are multiple fields it looks MUCH better if all the textboxes are aligned.
UPDATE
Using a different ControlTemplate
allows headers to stretch but contents still don't stretch.
<TreeView HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TreeViewItem Style="{DynamicResource StretchableTreeViewItemTemplate}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Header="Stuff">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0">Some random text</Label>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"></TextBox>
</Grid>
</TreeViewItem>
</TreeView>

Try something like this:
Edit
Ok,i've found one solution Here. It basically creates a new class inheriting Treeview:
