MaxAutoWidth in WPF

Question

Is there a good way to limit the Auto Width of an element or Grid Column? I want to limit the Auto Width only, but allow any user changes.

For example, I want to allow GridSplitter to arbitrarily resize the column, but the initial (Auto) Width should not exceed a specific value. Same for the elements -- I want to allow resizing, but limit the Width they have if never resized.

MaxWidth works exactly as opposite -- it does not affect Auto Width of Grid Columns (it might be a bug), but limits the resized width.

Is there any good solution that works for (almost) any element or Grid part?

Answer 1

Try binding the MaxWidth to the Width and use a IValueConverter to react to changes from Auto to specific values.
