Make textbox fill up and resizie
-
Hi! Sorry for weird subject but was a bit unsure on what to call it. Anyway, I have a WPF-form where I have some items below a textbox. I want the textbox to fill up the grid above the bottom controls but leave space for them.
Sounds like you want a

When you put Grids in a StackPanel, the Grids "lose" their "star" (*) qualities since StackPanel do not fill available space. You should put your Grids in a parent Grid instead of a StackPanel (if you want to make the most of "stretching"). I typically start everything with "*" or Auto; only afterwards do I (rarely) touch up with explicit widths or heights.
