How to display listbox items in column view in WPF c#

Question

Am using listbox control in WPF its display listbox item in row wise but I want to display in column wise ( Something like bootstrap grid)

XMAL

<ListBox x:Name="lb_items">
   <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>                            
            <StackPanel Margin="10 0 0 0">
                <Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" />
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Am binding Listbox from code behind

lb_items.ItemsSource = modules.ToList();

I think that it's easier using an ItemControl stackoverflow.com/questions/3356719/… that a ListBox — ganchito55

Try this one.

    <ListBox x:Name="lb_items">
        <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
            <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                <WrapPanel IsItemsHost="True" />
            </ItemsPanelTemplate>
        </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <StackPanel Margin="10 0 0 0">
                    <Image Source="{Binding ImageSource}" />
                </StackPanel>
            </DataTemplate>

@basitraza Could you please Mark the Response that helped you most. It will be a sign of appreciating someone who helped you; moreover it will help other readers of this post, as well.

I was about to jump to the next search when I did not see any response to your post marked as an Answer - thinking the issue probably was not resolved,

ListBox has property called ItemsPanel, which determines how items are rendered.

Somewhere in application resource create different ItemsPanelTemplate, so you can easily reuse it:

<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="WrapPanelTemplate">
    <WrapPanel />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>

<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="HorizontalStackPanelTemplate">
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>

then you can easily use it:

<ListBox ItemsPanel="{StaticResource HorizontalStackPanelTemplate}">...
<ItemControl ItemsPanel="{StaticResource WrapPanelTemplate}">...

always put such assets into application resources in order to make the code for your views clean and readable.

Extra Tip: Here is animated WrapPanel, that animates items, when you resize window or an item is inserted to the list:

<ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="FluidWrapPanel">
    <WrapPanel>
        <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
            <ei:FluidMoveBehavior AppliesTo="Children" Duration="0:0:0.5">
                <ei:FluidMoveBehavior.EaseY>
                    <SineEase EasingMode="EaseInOut" />
                </ei:FluidMoveBehavior.EaseY>
                <ei:FluidMoveBehavior.EaseX>
                    <CubicEase EasingMode="EaseInOut" />
                </ei:FluidMoveBehavior.EaseX>
            </ei:FluidMoveBehavior>
        </i:Interaction.Behaviors>
    </WrapPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>

dont forget to include these xml namespaces:

xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity"
xmlns:ei="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactions"
