Hi all, I need to load some xbaps in a frame, so far nothing special. But i want the xbaps to be preloaded at startup (so they get stored in the apps folder under local settings). I thought i'd build a hidden or very small frame to load the xbaps after one another whilst giving a loading screen, when finished it will show the application itself.. However is there a way to use 1 frame, to load the xbaps after eachother? e.g. 1 fnisishes, then 2 finishes, 3 finishes.. frame.loadcomplete, .rendercomplete, .loaded won't work or only once.. but i want to load multiple.. as sort of a preloader.. or is there a way to do this way easier? thx in advance

I just read something about this, will see if it works, thx! /does exactly the same as a normal grid.. Example of what im doing: <grid> <expander content="{Staticresource somecontent}" /> <Expander content="{Staticresource somecontent2}" /> <Expander content="{Staticresource somecontent3}" /> <Expander content="{Staticresource somecontent4}"/> </grid> The resource content is something like this: ... Each expander resizes now to the amount of content (images) in them, which is different for each 1.. Found a solution: <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Grid}, AncestorLevel=2}, Path=ColumnDefinitions[0].Width}" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Grid}, AncestorLevel=2}, Path=ColumnDefinitions[1].Width}"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Grid}, AncestorLevel=2}, Path=ColumnDefinitions[2].Width}"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Grid}, AncestorLevel=2}, Path=ColumnDefinitions[3].Width}"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

Hi all, I'm fiddling around with WPF quite a bit, but i can't seem to get this working: I want four controls in a horizontal row (expanders in this case) to each have 1/4 (25%) of the width of the entire screen (so horizontally they fill up the whole screen, even when resizing..) But here's the catch, the expanders are filled with icons, so when i set width to auto, the expander gets the width depending on how many icons (images) are in the expander's content.. I tried using a grid with colums, but i didnt find out how to set the width to 25% of each column, is there ven a way to do this? Or does another control do what i want? Also tried a stack/wrappanel, but it didnt work out.. Thx
