Property Value

ItemsPanelTemplate

An ItemsPanelTemplate that defines the panel to use for the layout of the items. The default value for the ItemsControl is an ItemsPanelTemplate that specifies a StackPanel.

Subtypes of ItemsControl may use different default ItemsPanelTemplates. For example, ListViews by default use an ItemsStackPanel. Using a different type may cause unexpected behavior; for example using a plain StackPanel as the ListView's ItemsPanel can regress Narrator behavior during drag and drop.

Examples

Replace the default panel used in a ListView with an ItemsStackPanel that has its Orientation changed to Horizontal.

<ListView>
    <x:String>Hello</x:String>
    <x:String>World</x:String>

    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <ItemsStackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ListView>

Remarks

Note

ComboBox uses a CarouselPanel as its ItemsPanel. Using a different panel as the ItemsPanel of ComboBox is not supported and might result in undesired behavior.
