POHow to get controls in WPF to fill available space?
text
Body
copied!<p>Some WPF controls (like the <code>Button</code>) seem to happily consume all the availible space in its' container if you don't specify the height it is to have.</p> <p>And some, like the ones I need to use right now, the (multiline) <code>TextBox</code> and the <code>ListBox</code> seem more worried about just taking the space necessary to fit their contents, and no more. </p> <p>If you put these guys in a cell in a <code>UniformGrid</code>, they will expand to fit the available space. However, <code>UniformGrid</code> instances are not right for all situations. What if you have a grid with some rows set to a * height to divide the height between itself and other * rows? What if you have a <code>StackPanel</code> and you have a <code>Label</code>, a <code>List</code>and a <code>Button</code>, how can you get the list to take up all the space not eaten by the label and the button?</p> <p>I would think this would really be a basic layout requirement, but I can't figure out how to get them to fill the space that they could (putting them in a <code>DockPanel</code> and setting it to fill also doesn't work, it seems, since the <code>DockPanel</code> only takes up the space needed by its' subcontrols).</p> <p>A resizable GUI would be quite horrible if you had to play with <code>Height</code>, <code>Width</code>, <code>MinHeight</code>, <code>MinWidth</code> etc. </p> <p>Can you bind your <code>Height</code> and <code>Width</code> properties to the grid cell you occupy? Or is there another way to do this?</p>
