Fitting WPF DataGrid in a Grid control

Anonymous User 2092 21-Sep-2013

I have a DataGrid control inside a Grid control in one of my WPF windows.

<Grid>
  <Grid.RowDefinitions>
       
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
       
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
 
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
  <SomeControl
Grid.Row="0" />
  <DataGrid
Grid.Row="1" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/>
</Grid>

The problem is that when I add rows to the DataGrid it flows out of the containing window and its scroll bar remains inactive. How do I solve this problem and make the DataGrid's scroll bar to function correctly?

Hi Tanuj,

You may try as follows

  <Grid>
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
               
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
               
<RowDefinition Height="200" />
           
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
           
<DataGrid  
Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="54,65,0,0" Name="dataGrid1"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="382"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
               
<DataGrid.Columns>
                   
<DataGridTextColumn Header="ID"/>
                   
<DataGridTextColumn Header="ViewCount" />
                   
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Title" />
               
</DataGrid.Columns>
           
</DataGrid>
        </Grid>

You need to provide some height to the DataGrid ,as you have RowDefinition Height="*" so the vertical Scrolbar was not active,try to give some height to the DataGrid.

Hope it will help you.
