This is my original code:
<StackPanel Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Orientation="Horizontal">
<ProgressBar Height="23" Name="searchProgressBar" Foreground="Blue" BorderBrush="#00000000" BorderThickness="1" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
<TextBlock Text="asdf" Height="23" Name="progressTextBlock" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="Red" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
</StackPanel>
The progressbar was very small, maybe 2 or 3 pixels wide, then there was the text block and empty space after. So I tried explicitly docking the elements to sides:
<DockPanel Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" >
<ProgressBar DockPanel.Dock="Left" Height="23" Name="searchProgressBar" Foreground="Blue" BorderBrush="#00000000" BorderThickness="1" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Right" Text="asdf" Height="23" Name="progressTextBlock" VerticalAlignment="Top" Foreground="Red" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
</DockPanel>
No avail. I also tried modifying each solution by setting HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" on the progress bar, but there's no change. How do i stretch it to fill all the space there is after the text block has been rendered?
Remove DockPanel.Dock="Left" from the ProgressBar and switch the order of the controls:
<DockPanel>
<TextBlock DockPanel.Dock="Right" Height="23" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
<ProgressBar Height="23" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
</DockPanel>
By default, DockPanel has its property LastChildFill set to true, which will make the ProgressBar take the available space.
ahh I see what you're trying to do. This is probably a better place to use a grid with 2 column definitions. The first(the left one) columndefinition with Width="*" and the second(the right one) with a width set to Width="Auto". For more info about auto vs * see http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/9a7e6591-1fae-4295-b68a-be97e8e53d06/

Why won't my TextBox fill the available space in its DockPanel parent? I expected it to stretch to fill the remaining horizontal space. The Button is attached to the right nicely. I've got this at the top of my Window:
<DockPanel Margin="20,10,20,0" DockPanel.Dock="Top" >
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Input}" Background="#FFE4EBFF" Margin="0,0,5,0" />
<Button Content=" _Evaluate" IsDefault="True" HorizontalAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right" />
</DockPanel>
The TextBox attaches to the left but is about 5 pixels wide. It's the last child, and has the defaults DockPanel.Dock=Left, HorizontalAlignment=Stretch. I've tried other dock and alignment values without success. Is TextBox an exception to the usual layout rules?
When you set DockPanel.LastChildFill=true
What is the last child you're adding?
The button.
Not the textbox.
Order is top (first) to bottom (last).
I'm not sure exactly what result you want but maybe you just need to make the textbox the last child:
<DockPanel Margin="20,10,20,0" DockPanel.Dock="Top" >
<Button Content=" _Evaluate" IsDefault="True" HorizontalAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right" />
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Input}" Background="#FFE4EBFF" Margin="0,0,5,0" />
</DockPanel>
This seems to work for me:
<DockPanel Margin="20,10,20,0" DockPanel.Dock="Top" LastChildFill="True">
<Button Content=" _Evaluate" IsDefault="True" HorizontalAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right" />
<TextBox TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Input}" Background="#FFE4EBFF" Margin="0,0,5,0" />
</DockPanel>
I have this user control:
And I want to achieve this result:
The XAML of the bottom part is like this:
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="left" Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBox materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Filtrar por patente" Width="auto" Margin="5" Text="{Binding Filtro, Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" HorizontalAlignment="Left"></TextBox>
<Button Width="120" Style="{DynamicResource MaterialDesignRaisedButton}" Margin="5" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Command="{x:Static materialDesign:DialogHost.CloseDialogCommand}">Volver</Button>
</StackPanel>
I cannot find a way to align textbox to the left and button to the right, leaving a dynamic space in the middle. Button should have fixed width and textbox should be auto.
Thanks
Use a DockPanel. You'll want to stretch it instead of aligning it to the left.
<DockPanel
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
>
<TextBox
DockPanel.Dock="Left"
materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Filtrar por patente"
Width="auto"
Margin="5"
Text="{Binding Filtro, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
/>
<Button
DockPanel.Dock="Right"
Width="120"
Style="{DynamicResource MaterialDesignRaisedButton}"
Margin="5"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Command="{x:Static materialDesign:DialogHost.CloseDialogCommand}"
>Volver</Button>
</DockPanel>
I am trying to fill the TextBox height for all remaining space in the DockPanel but no success. I have not even found a successful example code doing this stuff.
Here is what I have done:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<DockPanel Background="Red" LastChildFill="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Content="Save" Width="100" Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="10 5"/>
<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True"
AcceptsTab="True"
Margin="5 10"
TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</DockPanel>
</Grid>
Am I missing something?? I have also tried VerticalAlignment property to Stretch of TextBox, no success. Below is the output window.
Try this,set your textbox style to NULL and check whether its working fine.
<DockPanel Background="Red" LastChildFill="True" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Content="Save" Width="100" Height="50" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="10 5"/>
<TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" AcceptsTab="True" Margin="5 10" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{x:Null}"/>
</DockPanel>
To get the textbox to autosize without having to mess with the Style you can simply set your height back to Double.NaN. The xaml below is stripped to only show the relevant bits.
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<Button DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"/>
<TextBox Height="NaN"/>
</DockPanel>
I am currently sitting on a Silverlight-Listbox and have some
trouble getting my listBox right.
Its (visually) starts from the second item.
I have to scroll up to see the first one.
Why is this happening and how could I fix this?
<ListBox x:Name="ServingsList"
Foreground="White"
Background="#FFB88A8A"
SelectionChanged="servingSelected"
Margin="0,0,0,297">
<ListBox.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Height="70" Width="432">
<Rectangle x:Name="Linie"
Fill="#FF8D8D8D"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
Height="2"
StrokeThickness="0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Width="380"
Margin="0,-30,0,0" />
<TextBlock x:Name="ServingTitel"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
Text="{Binding name}"
FontSize="21.333"
Margin="50,-60,0,0" />
<Image x:Name="Ribbon"

</StackPanel>

You need to check your Margin values - in the main list you're putting 297 pixels of whitespace below your list box. Other elements have weird values too. Expression Blend sometimes messes with the Margins if you change from a StackPanel to a Grid.
e.g:
Margin="0,0,0,297">
I have a dock panel, with one label in the middle and another button on the far right.
Because of the button the label cannot align to the middle when the windows is maximized.
WPF:
<DockPanel Height="40" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="-1,-2,0,0" Name="dockPanel1" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" OpacityMask="{x:Null}">
<Label FontSize="18" Content="Sales" FontWeight="Bold" FontFamily="Arial" Width="883" Height="42" HorizontalAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" DockPanel.Dock="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"></Label>
<Button FontSize="18" Height="47" Width="123" Name="btnStart" Foreground="White" BorderBrush="{x:Null}" FlowDirection="LeftToRight" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Arial Rounded MT" ClickMode="Press" DockPanel.Dock="Right" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" Padding="0" Content="Start" BorderThickness="0" Focusable="False">
</DockPanel>
Use a Grid instead of a DockPanel
Grid's allow objects to be placed on top of each other, so you can position your Label in the middle and the Button on the Right
<Grid>
<Label HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<Button HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</Grid>
