How to proportional space all the children inside a list ?

Hi,

I'm using the Jan CTP and I'd like to evenly space the elements of a
list inside an horizontal box. I do something like


<Style x:Key="TaskList" TargetType="{x:Type ItemsControl}">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ItemsControl}">
<Grid Height="35">
<DockPanel Width="Auto" IsItemsHost="True"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

My problem is that the items always have a constant width. I want them
to fill the Grid.

I also tried to use a DockPanel, but it seems the DocPanel.Dock="Fill"
property is not valid anymore.

Please help

Many thanks

Phil

If you make a Grid's ColumnDefinition have a Width of "*" that will
have that column expand to fill the available space. I haven't tried in
the Feb CTP, but I know in the last one I used, if you have 3 columns
with a Width of *, each column will consume 33% of the available space
provided by the Grid.

That might be what you're looking for.

I wanted a solution which didn't required me to hard code the number of
items I will put inside it. The number of items is unknown at design time.

Have you tried using a style?
