I have this WPF button in my StackPanel:
<StackPanel Grid.ColumnSpan="6" Grid.Row="12" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="LightGray" Height="40">
<Button x:Name="btnSave" Click="btnSave_Click" Content="{x:Static res:Strings.ToolPanelEditView_Button_Save}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</StackPanel>
For some reason, the button shows on the left although I set its HorizontalAlignment to Right:
How can I make my save button show on the right?
P.S. when I change the StackPanel's HorizontalAlignment to Right instead of Stretch, the button does show on the right like it should (but then the gray background of the StackPanel does not stretch either...
I think that a Grid is more appropriate for your case
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="LightGray" Height="40">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button x:Name="btnSave" Grid.Column="1" Content="Save" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
<!--Your Other Button Grid.Column="2"-->
</Grid>
or you could as well replace the stackPanel with a DockPanel
You can use DockPanel as container, stretch it and dock your button to the right side
<DockPanel Grid.ColumnSpan="6" Grid.Row="12" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="LightGray" Height="40">
<Button Content="Save" DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
<Button Content="Cancel" DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
</DockPanel>

I have a very basic layout, but still not able to get the behaviour I want. Stupid me...
My grid has two columns, dynamic sized column left and fixed sized column right. This is working. Inside the right column I have stackpanel containing two buttons, they follow the window resizing correctly.
Inside the left column I have dockpanel containing two groupboxes, the lower has fixed height and is docked to the bottom. This groupbox follows the window resizing correctly, just like I want.
But I'm not able to get the upper groupbox to fill the upper section of the dockpanel. I can only set its height as fixed or when setting it "Auto" it gets strange height of 23...? I want it to fill the area and follow window resizing. I tried using stackpanel also in this column, but no success.

<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="220"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<DockPanel x:Name="GroupPanel" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<GroupBox x:Name="AlarmGroup" Header="Alarms" Margin="10" DockPanel.Dock="Top" />
<GroupBox x:Name="LogGroup" Header="Log" Height="188" Margin="10" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" />
</DockPanel>
<StackPanel x:Name="ButtonPanel" Width="190" Grid.Column="1">
<Button x:Name="StartButton" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Width="150" Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,20,10,0">Start</Button>
<Button x:Name="StopButton" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Width="150" Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,10,10,0">Stop</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
By default, DockPanel fills its remaining space with its last child.
You've set the AlarmGroup GroupBox as the first child, so it takes up only the space it needs; it's default. The second child has a fixed height, so it does not take up the remainder of the space.
To achieve the layout you are looking for, move LogGroup to be the first child of GroupPanel and set its DockPanel.Dock property to Bottom.
Example
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="220"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<DockPanel x:Name="GroupPanel">
<GroupBox x:Name="LogGroup" Header="Log"
DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"
Height="188" Margin="10"/>
<GroupBox x:Name="AlarmGroup" Header="Alarms"
DockPanel.Dock="Top"
Margin="10"/>
</DockPanel>
<StackPanel x:Name="ButtonPanel"
Width="190"
Grid.Column="1">
<Button x:Name="StartButton"
Width="150" Height="40"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Margin="0,20,10,0">Start</Button>
<Button x:Name="StopButton"
Width="150" Height="40"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Margin="0,10,10,0">Stop</Button>

In a DockPanel there is a property LastChildFill set to true by default which means that the last coltrol you put will take all the space. I also changed VerticalAligment="Bottom" to DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"
Depending on the screen size, Log and Alarm screens get smaller equally. I tried to do it by dividing it into partitions in a Grid. Is it enough for you ?

I have a button with a StackPanel, I want to align StackPanel to center according to first TextBox (maintext).
<Button Style="{StaticResource NumPadStyle}" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2" Tag="7" >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource NumPadMainText}" Name="maintext">7</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource NumPadSubText}" Name="subtext">PQRS</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Button>
current:
desired:
Taking into consideration that it seems that all the buttons have the same size, you could use a grid with Columns of even size, to be sure that your texts will be positions in the same way in all the buttons.
<Button Style="{StaticResource NumPadStyle}" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2" Tag="7">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1"
Style="{StaticResource NumPadMainText}" Name="maintext">7</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Style="{StaticResource NumPadSubText}"
Name="subtext">PQRS</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Button>
LE: You can replace the Width="Auto" value in the Column to a fixed value, like Width="20" or something, in case you want all NumPadSubTexts to start from the same location in all buttons.
Set MinWidth (adjust it coherently with the fontsize) to StackPanel:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" MinWidth="35">
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource NumPadMainText}" Name="maintext">7</TextBlock>
<TextBlock Style="{StaticResource NumPadSubText}" Name="subtext">PQRS</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
I have two sets of controls within a row. They are both in their respective stack panels. The first is aligned to the left and the second is aligned to the right. It looks good, except that the controls on the right are cut off by the application window. I can stretch out the window with my mouse and it looks fine, but it would be better if the buttons would just push in as the application window collapses.
Here is the xaml:
<Grid Grid.Row="5">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0"
Orientation="Horizontal"
HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Label Content="Instant Message Text"
Margin="5"></Label>
<TextBox x:Name="txt_Message"
Width="400"></TextBox>
<Button Name="btn_instantMessage"
Content="Send Message"></Button>
<Label Content="Send To All Zones"></Label>
<CheckBox Name="chk_sentMessageToAllZones"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"></CheckBox>
</StackPanel>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="2" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" >
<Button Content="Stop All Ads"
Margin="5"
Name="btn_stop"></Button>
<Button Content="Play All Ads"
Margin="5"
Name="btn_play"></Button>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
Here is a screen shot of the damage. You can see how the button "Play All Ads" is getting cut off.
You should set SizeToContent property on your window/UC.
SizeToContent="Width"
I got 4 buttons aligned inside a grid. Is there any way to make alignment automatic so that if one button's visibility is set to false the remaining buttons uses the space wisely[other buttons moves to accommodate into new space]?
Instead of a grid, put the buttons in a StackPanel with Orientation="Horizontal". Also, make sure you set your button Visibility to "Collapsed" instead of "Hidden".
Try the following:
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button Content="1" Width="50" Height="23" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
<Button Content="2" Width="50" Height="23"/>
<Button Content="3" Width="50" Height="23" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
<Button Content="4" Width="50" Height="23"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
Or this:
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Column="1" Content="1" Width="50" Height="23" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
<Button Grid.Column="2" Content="2" Width="50" Height="23"/>
<Button Grid.Column="3" Content="3" Width="50" Height="23" Visibility="Collapsed"/>
<Button Grid.Column="4" Content="4" Width="50" Height="23"/>
</Grid>
You should see the buttons centered but only show the second and fourth button
Depends on the layout and how complex you want the space distribution to be, if a uniform distribution is enough you could use a UniformGrid, in a normal Grid that would be a bit tricky as the columns and rows need to be adjusted.
I have a button with width of phone width,I want that button content be image in the left corner and text after image, I put image and text into stackpanel, grid and canvas and gives HorizantalAllignment="Left" but always the content shown in the center, how I can do what I want or which other control I can use,please help me
<Border BorderThickness="0,0,0,2" BorderBrush="#FF479175">
<Button Height="90" BorderThickness="0">
<Grid>
<Image Source="/HomePageDes;component/Images/main_news.png" Height="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
<TextBlock Text="News" />
</Grid>
</Button>
</Border>
Simply set HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" on your button. The default is centre.
Then a grid with HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" will do what you want.
I think that is what you are asking:
<Button>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<Image src=""/>
<TextBlock Text="ClickMe"/>
</StackPaenl>
</Botton>
If you are using Grid as your container, then you need to define Grid Columns and place the image in column 0 , and the text in column 1. Easier to use Stackpanel in this case.
For example:
<Button>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Grid. ColumnDefinitions >
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid. ColumnDefinitions>
<Image Source="/HomePageDes;component/Images/main_news.png" Height="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Column="0"/>
<TextBlock Text="News" Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
</Button>
