Remarks

<p>

The AutoDistributionGrid class provides the following additional functionality to the base Grid class.

Scatters child elements by rows or columns depending on the ChildrenFlowDirection property value, with an ability to change a default placement for any child element by specifying the DistributionInfo objects in the ChildrenDistributionInfo collection.
Introduces the settable and bindable RowCount and ColumnCount properties that allows defining of row and column count numerically, without adding/removing items in the Grid.RowDefinitions/ColumnDefinitions collections. Along with the introduced bindable VisualChildCount property it gives, for example, an ability to have as many rows as you have children.
Gives an ability to automatically keeps a number of column and rows so as cells with a fixed width and/or height fully fit in the AutoDistributionGrid size. This is controlled by the FitCellsOfWidth and FitCellsOfHeight properties.

Constructors

Name	Description
AutoDistributionGrid()	Creates a new instance of AutoDistributionGrid.

Fields

Name	Description
CellCountProperty	Identifies the CellCount dependency property.
ChildrenFlowDirectionProperty	Identifies the ChildrenFlowDirection dependency property.
ColumnCountProperty	Identifies the ColumnCount dependency property.
FitCellsOfHeightProperty	Identifies the FitCellsOfHeight dependency property.
FitCellsOfWidthProperty	Identifies the FitCellsOfWidth dependency property.
RowCountProperty	Identifies the RowCount dependency property.
VisualChildCountProperty	Identifies the VisualChildCount dependency property.

Properties

Name	Description
CellCount	Gets a number of cells in the AutoDistributionGrid. This is a dependency property.
ChildrenDistributionInfo	Gets a collection of DistributionInfo objects that allows to redefine a default placement of a certain child element.
ChildrenFlowDirection	Gets or sets a value that determines a flow direction of child elements in the AutoDistributionGrid. The default value is Horizontal. This is a dependency property.
ColumnCount	Gets or sets a value that determines a number of columns in the AutoDistributionGrid. This is a dependency property.
FitCellsOfHeight	Allows the forcing of the AutoDistributionGrid to generate cells of the specified height, where a number of rows will be automatically adjusted so as to fully fit a maximum number of cells in a current grid height. The default value is NaN. This is a dependency property.
FitCellsOfWidth	Allows the forcing of the AutoDistributionGrid to generate cells of the specified width, where a number of columns will be automatically adjusted so as to fully fit a maximum number of cells in a current grid width. The default value is NaN. This is a dependency property.
RowCount	Gets or sets a value that determines a number of rows in the AutoDistributionGrid. This is a dependency property.
VisualChildCount	Gets a number of child elements of the AutoDistributionGrid. This is a dependency property.

Methods

Name	Description
MeasureOverride(Size)	Measures the child elements of a AutoDistributionGrid in anticipation of arranging them during the ArrangeOverride pass.
OnRenderSizeChanged(SizeChangedInfo)	Raises the SizeChanged event, using the specified information as part of the eventual event data.
OnVisualChildrenChanged(DependencyObject, DependencyObject)	Called when the visual children of a AutoDistributionGrid element change.
