[UWP][XAML] ListView child item not using full width

Question

I\'m trying to display a list of bound items. I\'ve customized the datatemplate to be a grid and I want the right column (that has a fixed width) to stick to the right side

Answer 1

I was just attempting to get my ListView to stretch properly and found this answer. I'm using Visual Studio 2017 and working on a UWA (Universal Windows App) project.

I'm altering the default Grid element which was added by the project template and I couldn't get the ListView to stretch when it was added as a grid row / column.

I finally stumbled upon the XAML you can add directly to the ListView element:

HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch"

It works great as you can see:

Answer 2

A friend helped me find this which means this question is now a duplicate since it's the same thing:

ListViewItem won't stretch to the width of a ListView

Just for clarity though, here was the takeaway code that solved my problem:

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListViewItem">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
