    copied!<p>Inserting a <code>Slider</code> in a <code>Grid</code> would expand it to fill the available space, but I would prefer not use a grid for the following reason:</p> <p>I've a <code>TextBlock</code> and a <code>Slider</code> in a <code>UserControl</code>, the slider is spring loaded and does jog / shuttle; the current value has to be displayed because the user can't rely on the neutral cursor's position, so the textblock. Implementing the <code>**Orientation**</code> property of this custom slider requires both components to be rotated and also their relative position to be adjusted (left/right or top/bottom), which wouldn't be easy with a grid (unless I miss something obvious) while it is with a <code>StackPanel</code>.</p> <p><strong>Response to Aviad's comment</strong></p> <p>Aviad, thanks, I apologize for the pain ;-) The question was in the title: How to expand a Slider to fill the available space when the slider is within a StackPanel ?</p> <p>This user control:</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl x:Class="XXX.Preview.SelectionView" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Height="auto" Width="auto"&gt; &lt;GroupBox Header="Selected"&gt; &lt;StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"&gt; &lt;TextBlock/&gt; &lt;Slider/&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;/GroupBox&gt; &lt;/UserControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>won't expand when included in a grid even in a row with a "*" width. The slider will have no length at all.</p> <p>A solution is to replace the stack panel by a grid in the code below, but I don't want to use a grid, because I need to use the Orientation property of the stack panel to show both controls stacked vertically when the enclosing user control is set in the Orientation "Vertical".</p>
