How can I get a ListView GridViewColumn to fill the remaining space in my grid?

by

I was trying to achieve the same thing but then decided I would like my ListView columns to consume a percentage of the ListView instead, the result of this is all columns consuming a portion of space and all space being consumed in the ListView. You could set this up to have whatever percentage you like on the last column to directly achieve your ‘fill remaining space on last column’ goal.

I find this method fairly robust and reliable (even on resize!) so thought I might share.

I have four columns in my ListView for this example. All you need is to register the SizeChanged event in your ListView with the below event handler:

private void ProductsListView_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
{
    ListView listView = sender as ListView;
    GridView gView = listView.View as GridView;

    var workingWidth = listView.ActualWidth - SystemParameters.VerticalScrollBarWidth; // take into account vertical scrollbar
    var col1 = 0.50;
    var col2 = 0.20;
    var col3 = 0.15;
    var col4 = 0.15;

    gView.Columns[0].Width = workingWidth*col1;
    gView.Columns[1].Width = workingWidth*col2;
    gView.Columns[2].Width = workingWidth*col3;
    gView.Columns[3].Width = workingWidth*col4;
}
