Finally we create an array as a representation of the FlowLayout so we can arrange the Controls on it.There need to be two attached properties for the child elements, so each element can specify its HorizontalUnits and VerticalUnits.Afterwards we need to find the actual UnitWidth and UnitHeight so that the whole area of the control is used. The FlowLayout needs a UnitSizeRequested in pixels, we need to calculate how many items can fit vertically and horizontally based on a size of a unit.

Using this approach, each control can define it’s size in units, and will be placed on the next available free spot. To solve this problem, we need to divide the available area in uniform sections. It’s very tough to arrange the children of a Layout, when every control has a free size defined. That is okay if all controls have the same height or width, but this is not the case.īut what I actually want is something like this: The first thing, that came in mind, was a FlexLayout, but this looks a little bit odd to me, because the controls on the main axis share the same size in the secondary axis. The result should be some kind of a Dashboard with Diagrams and info boxes on it. I recently faced the challenge to add Items of different sizes to a Page on a Xamarin.Forms App.
