In Silverlight, I have a Vertical ListBox that has a Horizontal ListBox for each item. I want the items in the HorizontalListbox to space evenly across the width of the parent (Vertical) ListBox. How can I do this?

   <ListBox x:Name='MachineListBox' Background='Green'>         <ListBox.ItemTemplate>             <DataTemplate>             <ListBox ItemsSource='{Binding CoilList}' Background='Red' HorizontalAlignment='Stretch'>                     <ListBox.ItemsPanel>                         <ItemsPanelTemplate>                         <StackPanel                              HorizontalAlignment='Stretch'  />                     </ItemsPanelTemplate                                >                             </ListBox.ItemsPanel>                      <ListBox.ItemTemplate >                        <DataTemplate>                                 <TextBlock                                     Text='{Binding Coil}'                                      HorizontalAlignment='Stretch'/>                         </DataTemplate>                 </ListBox.ItemTemplate>             </ListBox>         </DataTemplate>             </ListBox.ItemTemplate>     </ListBox>

  1. I’ll take the liberty of suggesting you use a custom control of my own invention. It’s called a ProportionalPanel and it does just what you need – spaces items evenly. You could use it for the ItemsPanel in the inner ListBox instead of the StackPanel. I also provide the source code, so you can tweak the logic any way you like. The relevant post on my blog is here.
