How to make a ComboBox change its width based on content but make the popup list with items to be of constant width?
I've figured it out. I created a new ItemContainerStyle and set the width of items there, and have not specified the width for the ComboBox.

In WPF Ribbon menu, width of AuxiliaryPaneContent (in RibbonApplicationMenu) is not available. How to change its width based on the items present in it?
There is no direct property to set the Width or Height of AuxiliaryPaneContent. The solution given here may help: AuxilaryPane Size.
in WPF is there a way to setup a TextBlock so its MinHeiht and MinWidth are automatically set so its content is completely visible or should I code this by myself?
Thanks.
EDIT: The TextBlock lives inside a grid row, I would like to setup the Min sizes of the row to allow the TextBlock to show its entire content.
If you set the columndefinition width for the textblock's column to 'Auto', it will grow automatically to accommodate the growing textblock.
I want to set the MinWidth of a Grid ColumnDefinitions to the ActualWidth of a DataGrid inside it.
The main problem is the DataGrid has a (built-in) vertical scroller since its contents are many. So, the actual width is the size of its columns and some more, but not including the scroller.
What happens is that when I set the MinWidth, I get the rightmost column hidden behind the scroller.
I appreciate solving this both in the code and the XAML (just in order to learn).
Try putting the DataGrid into a Canvas and bind to the ActualWidth property of that instead.
I have a grid in Silverlight 3. The height of the grid row is set to "Auto". I have a ListBox in one of the grid cells. I want this listbox to fill 100% of the available space, even if it does not have enough items to do so. Currently, I have the ListBox height set to "Auto", and it will expand as items are added, and display a scroll bar when it reaches the size of the cell.
Any help is appreciated.
Set the vertical alignment on the Listbox, and remove the grid height being Auto, that is going to restrict the growth to what is absolutely needed.
VerticalAlignment = "Stretch"
Before asking this question I have looked at all related questions, but have not found anything relevant.
In my application I have toolbox style bar, which is basically stack panel with bunch of buttons. User may change which buttons are shown in toolbar.
Window width may be changed, but it can not be smaller then width of toolbar.
At first I was hoping to bind the MinWidth property to the StackPanel Width property and create converter that adds few pixels to Width of the StackPanel. The problem is that my converter does not get Width of StackPanel, just NaN as value :(
Unfortunately, StackPanel width is set to Auto and I can not change that.
Is there any way I can make my Window MinWidth dependable on Width of StackPanel?
Use ActualWidth, not Width.
Width is the requested width, or NaN for "Auto", ActualWidth is the, well, actual width after all the layout is calculated.
