A Slider and some other controls won't stretch to fill available space when placed in a StackPanel; instead the width is always MinWidth (or about 10 pixels if MinWidth is not set). How do I make it stretch (the equivalent of Anchor.Left|Anchor.Right in WinForms)? Example: <StackPanel DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Orientation="Horizontal"> ...
I have an Application (an appointment manager) which lets the user create usercontrols in a stackpanel per button click and the user can enter data into the usercontrols. So far so good. I serialized the stackpanel with XamlWriter.Save(). But then when I try to load it again the next time the application starts with XamlReader.Load() I ...
What is the proper way to stop and restart a storyboard from .net code? I'm trying ... myStory.Stop(this); Expecting that a subsequent call to .Begin(this); would restart from the timeline at zero, but instead, the storyboard picks up right where it was stopped. I have tried .Remove(this); and I tried .Seek(TimeSpan.Zero); w...
I'm writing a WPF app and the font that I am using only has problems running in WPF - it works fine using it in anything else (notepad, wordpad, etc.). The problem with WPF is that it falls back to another font sometimes. By "sometimes" I mean that only characters [a-zA-Z] appear to render correctly - everything else appears to be rend...

The CanExecute callback in my CommandBinding is not be...

FlowDocumentReader in Scroll viewing mode does exactly what I want, except that it always shows vertical scroll bar, whereas I need to show it only when it will be enabled (internally ReaderScrollViewer's VerticalScrollBarVisibility is Visible, but I need Auto).

Hy, I have a validator set on the text property of a textblock. For a correct validation I would need the parent usercontrol of the textblock, but the only things I have in the validator are the value object (a string) and the culture (doesn't help either).

I want to be able to set one of the properties on the child control from the XAML where I'm instantiating the main control. (Actually, I w...
I'm writing an app that uses the "tabbed browsing" metaphor, with a TabControl the full size of the window, and other stuff inside the tabs. Sometimes those tabs will themselves contain other TabControls. (Tabs inside tabs can be confusing, so I'll re-style the inner TabControl so it doesn't look like a TabControl. I'll probably style i...
