How to remove the flipview transparent "margin" which show the red Grid background?


Solution

  • That's because of the default style of the FlipView control.

    To remove it you need to copy this default style (posted below) and remove the margin in the border:

    <Style x:Key="FlipViewStyle1" TargetType="FlipView">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
            <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
            <Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Once"/>
            <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.IsHorizontalRailEnabled" Value="False"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.IsVerticalRailEnabled" Value="False"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.IsHorizontalScrollChainingEnabled" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.IsVerticalScrollChainingEnabled" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.IsDeferredScrollingEnabled" Value="False"/>
            <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.BringIntoViewOnFocusChange" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                        <VirtualizingStackPanel AreScrollSnapPointsRegular="True" Orientation="Horizontal"/>
                    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="FlipView">

    Simply change the margin property on the border :

    <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Margin="3">
    

    by :

    <Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Margin="0">
