spicytaco / spicytaco.autogrid Goto Github PK

I have a layout like

<st:AutoGrid Columns="Auto,*,Auto" Rows="Auto,Auto">
            <TextBlock x:Name="LongText" Grid.RowSpan="99" Width="300" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi sollicitudin, turpis tempor sollicitudin dictum, sapien justo feugiat mi, malesuada volutpat mauris magna quis nulla." />
            <TextBlock Text="Middle text 1"  />
            <Button Content="Right button 1" MinWidth="250" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
            <TextBlock Text="Middle text 2"  />
            <Button Content="Right button 2" MinWidth="250" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</st:AutoGrid>

I would expect the layout:

+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+
| Lorem ipsum dolor     | Middle text 1 | Right button 1 |
| sit amet, consectetur | Middle text 2 | Right button 2 |
| adipiscing elit ...   |               |                |
+-----------------------+---------------+----------------+

Instead, the second row is shifted to the left, so it overlaps the LongText.

SpicyTaco.AutoGrid.dll contins the PDB path z:\Projects\SpicyTaco.AutoGrid\src\AutoGrid\obj\Debug\SpicyTaco.AutoGrid.pdb I have Z: mapped as a network drive, sometimes unreacheable. The Visual Studio always hangs for a few seconds trying to look for the PDB path. Please, remove the path form DLL.

I am a newbiew to C# development, but I think the switch /pdbpath:none may help?

Also AFAIK you can ship PDB with NuGet, upload it to the symbolsource or use GitLink.

When using complex row and column spans in table form,
RowSpan does not work properly.

We have fixed the issue by modifying the following source code:

In PerformLayout ()

cellCount + = (ColumnDefinitions.Count! = 0)? Grid.GetColumnSpan (child): Grid.GetRowSpan (child);
cellCount + = (ColumnDefinitions.Count! = 0)? Grid.GetRowSpan (child) - 1: Grid.GetColumnSpan (child) - 1; // added (add RowSpan to cellCount)

...

Enumerable.Range (1, rowSpan) .ToList () ... // before
Enumerable.Range (1, rowSpan - 1) .ToList () ... // after

...

Enumerable.Range (1, columnSpan) .ToList () ... // before
Enumerable.Range (1, columnSpan - 1) .ToList () ... // after

...

This change works well.

I usually write well. Thank you.

I like the new st:StackPanel MarginBetweenChildren property. I would like to add it to the st.AutoGrid, too. The st.AutoGrid has ChildMargin property already. It can be overridden, when an element specify it's own 'Margin'. I would like the MarginBetweenChildren behave the same way for the st:StackPanel and st.AutoGrid, too.

Hi there

I use your AutoGrid in various projects and it is just great!!!

Now I am starting an new project using .Net Core 3.1 and I can reference your AutoGrid and use it as in .Net Framework 4.x project.

The only not really nice thing is, that Visual Studio is showing a warning like that:

I've acquired the "SpicyTaco" GitHub organization. It's time to move stuff over there.

Hi there

I am using you library in my project and it is great how things get easier with it!

But now my problem: Our solution is configured as x64 platform. I noticed that the designer is not working correct and it shows all items in Column 0 and Row 0. I created a small Test app and noticed if I use AnyCpu or x86 everything is as expected.

Is this a known problem and if so, how can I solve it?

Thanks for you help and regards!

If the child has Grid.Row or Grid.Column setting, then it should be placed on proper position. Indexing should start after the specified row/column. Then it would be possible to skip some grid cells instead of placing empty TextBlocks.

ChildMargin
ChildHorizontalAlignment
ChildVerticalAlignment

All these properties will overwrite values set explicitly on the child elements.

Explicit settings should be an override for the parents general setting

Last version available via NuGet is 1.1.17, see https://www.nuget.org/packages/SpicyTaco.AutoGrid/
Thanks

The License link from nuget points to https://github.com/kmcginnes/SpicyTaco.AutoGrid/blob/master/License.md which gives a 404.

This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

Could you add .NetCore as target to your solution?

Thx and regards!

While technically correct, MarginBetweenChildren is a large property name to use. And XAML is already full of long names.

There are other frameworks that already express the same concept, and they call it Spacing. I'd like to adopt that here.
