    text
    <p>The button below always expands to be as wide as the TextBlock. I've tried StackPanel, DockPanel, Width="Auto", etc.</p> <p>How can I make the button expand to the <strong>size of its own text</strong> (as in HTML) and not to the size of text in its environement? </p> <pre><code> &lt;DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left"&gt; &lt;Button x:Name="ButtonFavorite" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Content="Customers" Margin="10" Width="Auto" Click="ButtonFavorite_Click"&gt; &lt;/Button&gt; &lt;TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Top" Text="this is a long text which makes the button stretch across the window, if this text is just a couple words, the button will be smaller, and this drives me up the wall" Margin="10" TextWrapping="Wrap" /&gt; &lt;/DockPanel&gt; </code></pre> <h1>ANSWER:</h1> <p>Thanks Greg, that did it. Here is the full XAML that works now, you can right-click the button to change its Content so see that the button expands and contracts appropriately.</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window x:Class="Test3784234.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"&gt; &lt;DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left"&gt; &lt;StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="Top" Orientation="Horizontal" &gt; &lt;Button x:Name="ButtonFavorite" Padding="5" Cursor="Hand" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Content="Customers" Margin="10" Click="ButtonFavorite_Click"&gt; &lt;Button.ContextMenu&gt; &lt;ContextMenu&gt; &lt;MenuItem x:Name="menuItemReports" Header="Reports" Click="MenuItem_Click" /&gt; &lt;MenuItem x:Name="menuItemContracts" Header="Contracts" Click="MenuItem_Click"/&gt; &lt;MenuItem x:Name="menuItemCustomers" Header="Customers" Click="MenuItem_Click" /&gt; &lt;MenuItem x:Name="menuItemDocumentation" Header="Documentation Creation Instructions" Click="MenuItem_Click" /&gt; &lt;MenuItem x:Name="menuItemEmail" Header="E-Mail" Click="MenuItem_Click" /&gt; &lt;/ContextMenu&gt; &lt;/Button.ContextMenu&gt; &lt;/Button&gt; &lt;/StackPanel&gt; &lt;TextBlock x:Name="TheMessage" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Text="Right-click the 'favorites' button to change its function." Margin="10" TextWrapping="Wrap"/&gt; &lt;/DockPanel&gt; &lt;/Window&gt; </code></pre>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
