How to make WPF wrappanel child items to stretch?

As another solution (sometimes width might be different, so UniformGrid won’t work), here is modified WrapPanel which would stretch elements to fit lines (while keeping proportion the same):

public class StretchyWrapPanel : Panel {
    public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemWidthProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(ItemWidth),
            typeof(double), typeof(StretchyWrapPanel), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(double.NaN, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsMeasure));

    [TypeConverter(typeof(LengthConverter))]
    public double ItemWidth {
        get { return (double)GetValue(ItemWidthProperty); }
        set { SetValue(ItemWidthProperty, value); }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemHeightProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(ItemHeight),
            typeof(double), typeof(StretchyWrapPanel), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(double.NaN, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsMeasure));

    [TypeConverter(typeof(LengthConverter))]
    public double ItemHeight {
        get { return (double)GetValue(ItemHeightProperty); }
        set { SetValue(ItemHeightProperty, value); }
    }

    public static readonly DependencyProperty OrientationProperty = StackPanel.OrientationProperty.AddOwner(typeof(StretchyWrapPanel),
            new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(Orientation.Horizontal, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsMeasure, OnOrientationChanged));

    public Orientation Orientation {
        get { return _orientation; }
        set { SetValue(OrientationProperty, value); }
    }

    private static void OnOrientationChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) {
        ((StretchyWrapPanel)d)._orientation = (Orientation)e.NewValue;
    }

    private Orientation _orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;

    public static readonly DependencyProperty StretchProportionallyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(StretchProportionally), typeof(bool),
            typeof(StretchyWrapPanel), new PropertyMetadata(true, OnStretchProportionallyChanged));

    public bool StretchProportionally {
        get { return _stretchProportionally; }
        set { SetValue(StretchProportionallyProperty, value); }
    }

    private static void OnStretchProportionallyChanged(DependencyObject o, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) {
        ((StretchyWrapPanel)o)._stretchProportionally = (bool)e.NewValue;
    }

    private bool _stretchProportionally = true;

    private struct UVSize {
        internal UVSize(Orientation orientation, double width, double height) {
            U = V = 0d;
            _orientation = orientation;
            Width = width;
            Height = height;
        }

        internal UVSize(Orientation orientation) {
            U = V = 0d;
            _orientation = orientation;
        }

        internal double U;
        internal double V;
        private readonly Orientation _orientation;

        internal double Width {
            get { return _orientation == Orientation.Horizontal ? U : V; }
            set {
                if (_orientation == Orientation.Horizontal) {
                    U = value;
                } else {
                    V = value;
                }
            }
        }

        internal double Height {
            get { return _orientation == Orientation.Horizontal ? V : U; }
            set {
                if (_orientation == Orientation.Horizontal) {
                    V = value;
                } else {
                    U = value;
                }
            }
        }
    }

To achieve the desired behavior you may try to use Width or MaxWidth properties of WrapPanel, for example by this way

        <ListView
            Name="RootControl"
            ItemsSource="{Binding [icons]}"
            ItemTemplate="{StaticResource IconTemplate}">
            <ListView.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <WrapPanel
                        Width="{Binding ElementName=RootControl, Path=ActualWidth}"/>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemsPanel>
        </ListView>

It works enter image description here


Use a UniformGrid rather than a WrapPanel. Just set the number of columns you want with the Columns property, and it should give you the desired result.
