Please help the beginner.
I want to create a StatusBar and divide it into 3 elements. I want to align the first element on the left side. The second by right. The third in the center.
In the first and second elements I want to locate the text. In the third I want to locate StatusBar.
Why does the grid in StatusBar not want to stretch to the StatusBar and format the elements?
What am I doing wrong?
Sorry for mistakes, if any.
Because the default ItemsPanel of the StatusBar won't tell us how much space we have, we need to provide it with one that does (like grid).
A possible solution is as follows (using the grid as the ItemsPanel straight away) :
<StatusBar Height="25" Grid.Row="5">
<StatusBar.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
</Grid>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</StatusBar.ItemsPanel>
<StatusBarItem Content="Text" FontSize="10" Height="20" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="0"/>
<StatusBarItem Content="Text" FontSize="10" Height="20" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Grid.Column="1"/>
<ProgressBar Width="100" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="2"/>
</StatusBar>

the code below is a small snippet of a big wpf Window I am using in my Project. It produces the linked wpf Window.
I am wondering why my last grid column is so wide. I am expecting that the width of the last column depends on the width of the button, because the column width is set to "Auto".
If I remove the columnspan of the StackPanel the column width will be correct but then the CheckBoxes are not aligned to right side.
I hope you have understood my problem. My aim is, that the last column is as small as possible, the checkboxes are at the right side and the rest stays at it is.
Because this snippet is part of a bigger wpf window I cannot remove any grid rows or columns.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards.

I have some issues with getting the grid splitter to work properly.
I have placed the GridSplitter between two grids but the problem is that the grid splitter attaches to left grid which is the only one I can move with the splitter. If I move the left grid towards the right grid, the right grid will get smaller but if I move it away from the right grid it will not expand more than its initial size.
How can I place the GridSplitter in such a way that it allows me to adjust the width of the right grid and then reducing the width of the left grid if it is dragged that way.
I did add a SharedSizeGroup to one of the child grids of the right grid but I'm not sure if that is relevant to my problem, removing it didn't solve anything.
I have also tried to play around with the ResizeBehavor of the GridSplitter also without luck.
I hope it makes sense.

I changed the Grid "logic" a bit. As I understand you correct you want the GridSplitter for the middle part. Thats why I put the top and bottom part in extra rows to keep them away from the GridSplitter. I had to remove the HorizontalAlignment="Right" from your right Grid, too. Otherwise it would have not changed it's size.
Just to be sure the GridSplitter is working I removed the WebBrowser and added Background colors to the left and right Grid. You can replace that. Thought maybe it would be helpfull for you to see if it's working like expected.
/edit added width relation
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="2*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<!-- The "Left" Grid -->
This means when you start the application the first column will take twice the size then the third.
This should be a decent showcase, it's exactly the same for columns, just sideways.
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="300"/> //sets the height of the first row
<RowDefinition Height="*"/> //* sets the remainder of the height, doesn't work like auto!
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid Grid.Row="0"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Width="400"
Background="Green" />
<Grid Grid.Row="0"
Margin="400,0,0,0"
Background="Red"/>
<Grid Grid.Row="1"

<GridSplitter Grid.Row="0"

I have the following code of XAML in WPF. This generates the grid with equal size of columns & rows (as shown in figure 1.)
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="A" Background="Green"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="AB" Background="Red"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Text="ABC" Background="Blue"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="3" Text="ABCD" Background="Yellow"/>
</Grid>
Figure 1.
But when I put this grid in a viewbox (like the code below), the rows & column remains no more equally in size (as shown in figure 2.).
<Viewbox Stretch="Uniform">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="A" Background="Green"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="AB" Background="Red"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Text="ABC" Background="Blue"/>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="3" Text="ABCD" Background="Yellow"/>
</Grid>
</Viewbox>
Figure 2.
How can I make this grid with equal size of rows & column inside a viewbox?
You can enforce size-sharing like this:
<Grid Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition SharedSizeGroup="A"/>
<RowDefinition SharedSizeGroup="A"/>
<RowDefinition SharedSizeGroup="A"/>
<RowDefinition SharedSizeGroup="A"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="B"/>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="B"/>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="B"/>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="B"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
That's the behavior of ViewBox
Taken from internet
The ViewBox is a very useful control in WPF. If does nothing more than
scale to fit the content to the available size. It does not resize the
content, but it transforms it.
why use viewbox when you don't want this, try another control.
Instead of using a Grid try using a UniformGrid:
<Viewbox Stretch="Uniform">
<UniformGrid Rows="4" Columns="4">
<TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Text="A" Background="Green"/>
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="AB" Background="Red"/>
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Text="ABC" Background="Blue"/>
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="3" Text="ABCD" Background="Yellow"/>
</UniformGrid>
</Viewbox>
Just make sure you set Rows And Columns, and instead of saying which row/column each child element is, you just enter them in order.
The problem is the image is not fixed to the right side of the screen, so when I resize the screen it the image goes off screen, e.g.:
In that example we should see an image of a full phone.
I have the following Grid layout defined:
<Grid Background="White" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="23" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="166" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="473" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="330" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
<RowDefinition Height="35" />
<RowDefinition Height="35" />
<RowDefinition Height="35" />
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<!-- some irrelevant stuff removed -->
<Canvas Grid.Column="3" HorizontalAlignment="Right" >
<Image HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="imgLogo" Stretch="Uniform" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="45" Height="45" Margin="30,135,0,0" Canvas.ZIndex="99" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="-7" />
<Image Source="/Resources/Images/MobileBrandingSample.png" Height="634" Width="316" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,14,0,0" Name="imgPhone" Stretch="Uniform" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<Label Canvas.Left="80" Canvas.Top="127" Content="" Height="20" Name="lblCompanyName" Width="169" FontSize="15" Padding="0,0,0,0" />
<Label Canvas.Left="80" Canvas.Top="150" Height="20" Name="lblPhoneNumber" Width="160" FontSize="12" Padding="0,0,0,0">
<TextBlock Name="tbPhoneNumberLabel" Text="" TextDecorations="Underline" Foreground="#35B6E5" Width="160"></TextBlock>
</Label>
</Canvas>
</Grid>
With this, imgPhone is right aligned, but when I resize the window imgPhone goes off screen. What do I need to keep imgPhone docked to the right of the screen, regardless of how the window is resized?
Ditch the Canvas, use a Dockpanel with a Grid inside it, dock the whole lot right and absolute sizing in the grid will keep things where you want them relative to everything else.
I tried this....and got a solution...maybe not exactly what you want but I think you can work out the few adjustments needed.

I want a layout like VS 2008. In which I want two columns and second columns is again split into two.
I done that in the xaml mentioned below, but the GridSplitter is not visible vertically ( which split two columns).
I want both the GridSplitters to be resizable. One GridSplitter resizes the Left Hand Pane and Right Hand Pane and another GridSplitter resizes the subgrid's top pane and right pane..
The Second GridSplitter is working through this XAML but I am not able to produce XAML code that Splits the Right hand Pane and Left hand pane..

Change your vertical Splitter to
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="0" Width="5" ResizeDirection="Auto"
Grid.RowSpan="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"/>
This will be much better way to use GridSplitter
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="5"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Background="Aqua" Grid.Column="0" >

TextWrapping="Wrap">Left Hand Side</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<Grid Grid.Column="2">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="5" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ListBox Grid.Row="0" Background="Red">
<ListBoxItem>Hello</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>World</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Background="Gray" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<ListBox Grid.Row="2" Background="Violet">
<ListBoxItem>Hello</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>World</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
</Grid>
The GridSplitters should probably be on their own row/column in the grid, not sharing a cell with the other controls.
Your gridsplitter is behind the other controls that's why you can't see it. You can either move it to the bottom in your XAML file (so it is added last) or use the Panel.ZIndex attached property. Additionally you have to set the width for the splitter correctly correctly:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Background="Aqua" Grid.Column="0" >
<TextBlock FontSize="35" Foreground="#58290A"
TextWrapping="Wrap">Left Hand Side</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
<Grid Grid.Column="1">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ListBox Grid.Row="0" Background="Red">
<ListBoxItem>Hello</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>World</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
<GridSplitter Grid.Row="1" Height="5" Background="Gray"
VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
<ListBox Grid.Row="1" Background="Violet" Margin="0,5,0,0">
<ListBoxItem>Hello</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>World</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
</Grid>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="0" ResizeDirection="Columns"
Grid.RowSpan="1" Width="5"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
</Grid>
I have acheived the functionality, the XAML is mentioned below:
