<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="100"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="4"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Canvas Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Orange"/>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Width="4" Background="Black" />
<Grid Grid.Column="2" />
When I resize the Canvas in column 0, the canvas is not stretched to fill its column.
The stretch doesn't seem to work.
When I use Width="*" (which I actually do not want) for the first column I canot move the spliter to the left.
My requirement is that the first column is resizable (with a minimum) and that the canvas fills the first column.
Try this:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="100"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="4"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Canvas Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="Orange" />
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Width="4" Background="Black" />
<Grid Grid.Column="2" Background="Green"/>
</Grid>
Grid.ColumnSpan="2" is the key.
You need to set HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" on Grid Splitter to get it work.
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" MinWidth="100"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="4"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Canvas Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Orange"/>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Width="4" Background="Black"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" /> <-- HERE
<Grid Grid.Column="2" />

I have defined the following XAML:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="200" />
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="200" />
<ColumnDefinition MinWidth="500" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Margin="2,2,5,2">
<GroupBox Header="Computer">
<DockPanel>
<ComboBox MinWidth="100" Name="cmbComputerNames" IsEditable="True" DockPanel.Dock="Left" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Width="auto" />
<Button Content="Connect" Name="bConnect" Width="65" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</DockPanel>
</GroupBox>
</StackPanel>
<Button Grid.Column="1" Content="Two" Margin="1,2,5,2" />
<Button Grid.Column="2" Content="Three" Margin="1,2,2,2" />
<GridSplitter Height="100" Width="4" Grid.Column="0"/>
<GridSplitter Height="100" Width="4" Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
So, the left grid column is resizable. I want the "Connect" button to remain right-aligned and with same width. The combobox however, should be left-aligned and the width should grow as the column is resized, so the distance to the connect button remains the same.
Doesn't work:
Can anyone tell me how I can achieve that?
Since this is too long for a comment
Replace DockPanel with Grid and try this:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<GroupBox Header="Some text here">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ComboBox MinWidth="100"/>
<Button Grid.Column="1" Content="A button" Margin="5"/>
</Grid>
</GroupBox>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" ResizeDirection="Columns" ResizeBehavior="PreviousAndNext" Width="10"/>
<Button Content="some button" Grid.Column="2"/>
</Grid>
#Andy, if you could produce an answer then I will delete mine.
I have a problem with fitting grid row to parent grid width. So the code is (table header):
<Grid Height="Auto" Margin="20" VerticalAlignment="Top" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" >Word</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" >Class</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" >Match case</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="0" >Regular expression</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="4" Grid.Row="0" >Commands</Label>
</Grid>
The problem is: if all columns based on Width="Auto" the resulting rows will not fit parent grid. I know that I can fix this by setting Width="*" on one of the columns, but it's not what I want.
I need auto size on all columns with fitting to grid width (which can be much bigger then calculated auto-size of a row). How can I archive that?
Use Viewbox if you don't want to set Width="Auto", it is properly fitting the grid.
<Viewbox Stretch="Uniform" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Grid Height="Auto" Margin="20">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" >Word</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" >Class</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" >Match case</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="0" >Regular expression</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="4" Grid.Row="0" >Commands</Label>
</Grid>
</Viewbox>
You could use the SharedSizeGroup property to share sizing properties between several different ColumnDefinitions that belongs to different Grids: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.definitionbase.sharedsizegroup(v=vs.110).aspx
<Grid Height="Auto" Margin="20" VerticalAlignment="Top" >
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="a" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="b" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="c" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="d" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="e" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" >Word</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" >Class</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" >Match case</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="0" >Regular expression</Label>
<Label Grid.Column="4" Grid.Row="0" >Commands</Label>
</Grid>
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="a" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="b" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="c" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="d" />
<ColumnDefinition SharedSizeGroup="e" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" TextWrapping="Wrap">Some long word.....</TextBlock>

Using Kaxaml, resizing from the left works as expected.
<Page
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Grid>
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Width="5" Background="DarkGray" HorizontalAlignment="Right"></GridSplitter>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="0" Fill="Red" Height="100"/>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="1" Fill="Yellow" Height="100"/>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="2" Fill="Green" Height="100"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Page>
However when trying something similar on the right it behaves very differently.
<Page
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"></ColumnDefinition>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Width="5" Background="DarkGray" HorizontalAlignment="Left"></GridSplitter>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="0" Fill="Red" Height="100"/>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="1" Fill="Yellow" Height="100"/>
<Rectangle Grid.Column="2" Fill="Green" Height="100"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>

Oddly only dragging right works and the size happens in an almost inverse manner.
For the first column change Width="*" to Width="Auto".
I have the following XAML which shows a textblock in a grid. The problem is that it just stretches out, it even stretches itself greater than the windows width.
<Grid Background="Gray">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Padding="0" FontWeight="Bold" Margin="0,0,5,0">Description:</Label>
<TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="{Binding Description}" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" />
</Grid>
You need to restrict the width of the second column to make the text wrap -
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
I want to have a simple 3 column grid with resizeable columns and a MinWidth of 80.
The code looks like this:
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="120" MinWidth="80"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="120" MinWidth="80"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Width="5" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="3" Width="5" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
But it doesn't work in the way I want and expected. When the splitters are pushed to the left, all works fine. When the second splitter is pushed to the right all works fine. But if the first splitter is pushed to the right, it pushes the 3rd column and the second splitter out of the grid(or makes their width=0).
I used seperate columns for the gridsplitters, like it was done in the msdn example:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
...
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Background="Black"
ShowsPreview="True"
Width="5"
/>
I also set the alignment to center as i read somewhere right alignment could be a problem
and tried different ResizeBehaviors.
Does anyone know, how to fix this issue, so that at all time the 3 columns are visible with at least 80px width?
Thanks for any help
Try this instead for three columns that have minwidth set to 80. Use * instead of specifying exact width when using gridsplitters.
<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="5"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="5"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Red" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="3" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Red" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="4" Text="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
</Grid>
</ScrollViewer>
Not able to post this as comments; So putting this in the Answer list.
If I put a Grid with GridSplitter as the content on the right side of the main Grid with GridSplitter, I'm able to push the right most pane out of bounds of the window. Any idea?
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="5"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Red" />
<Grid Grid.Column="2">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="5"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="80"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Red" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="2" Text="{Binding Path=ActualWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" />
</Grid>
</Grid>
