    <p>I am trying to get a layout where an icon floats on the right end of a textblock; the textblock grows/shrinks to content. I cannot make this happen without the textblock running outside the grid. For example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Width="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ShowGridLines="True" &gt; &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" /&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="40"/&gt; &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;TextBlock x:Name="textBlock" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="25" TextWrapping="NoWrap" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" Grid.Column="0" &gt; &lt;TextBlock.Text&gt;longer keeps going and going testgrand you going and then t &lt;/TextBlock.Text&gt; &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;Rectangle Fill="#FFDE3030" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="41" Width="41" Grid.Column="1"/&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre> <p>Seems like the natural approach and works fine when the text is shorter than the column/grid, except the textbox and column will grow indefinitely and not honor the bounds of the grid. </p> <p>The inverse, with the icon on the left, works fine with a simpler layout, and the textblock doesn’t grow indefinitely. This is achieved with this markup: </p> <pre><code>&lt;Grid Grid.Row="1" Width="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left"&gt; &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="40" /&gt; &lt;ColumnDefinition /&gt; &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt; &lt;Rectangle Fill="#FFDE3030" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="41" Width="41" Grid.Column="0"/&gt; &lt;TextBlock x:Name="textBlock2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="25" TextWrapping="NoWrap" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left"&gt; &lt;TextBlock.Text&gt;longer testgrow the textblock and it will just keep growing but it will stop when it gets too &lt;/TextBlock.Text&gt; &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any help appreciated. If a grid won’t work, is there an alternate layout where I can get the icon floating on the right of the text, and the textblock will trim text when it’s too long?</p> <p>Also:</p> <ul> <li><p>No, using * size columns doesn't work because the columns are fixed, and the icon won't float at the end of the text</p></li> <li><p>A DockPanel doesn't work either, or at least I or others I've asked haven't been able to. The best it can do is to have the icon half-cut-off outside the dockpanel's right side.</p></li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
