    WPF Fill Window

    How can I make a control (panel, grid, dock) fill an entire window other
    than setting height/width properties?

      Well, one way would be to add a Dockpanel to the window, and put the
      content in that.

          Right, that's what I'm trying to do. But what properties tell the Dock
          panel to *Fill* the Window?

              The DockPanel should fill the window on its own, unless you've set a
              Height or Width.

              Try this:

              <Window x:Class="WpfApp lication9.Windo w1"
              xmlns="http://schemas.microso ft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
              xmlns:x="http://schemas.microso ft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
              Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
              <DockPanel>
              <Button />
              </DockPanel>
              </Window>

              For me, that creates a button which fills the window, even as you
              resize.

                  Title="ScTech" Height="300" Width="300">
                  <DockPanel Name="dockPanel 1" HorizontalAlign ment="Center"
                  VerticalAlignme nt="Center" Background="Ali ceBlue"
                  Grid.IsSharedSi zeScope="False" >
                  <Button/>
                  </DockPanel>
                  </Window>

                  Produces a tiny little button. Maybe I'm looking for something that
                  doesn't exist in WPF because it's not necessary?

                      I'd axe all the properties you set on the DockPanel, except for the
                      Name. At the very least, I don't know why you have
                      Grid.IsSharedSi zeScope set at all, since there's no grid on your
                      window.

                      What are you trying to do?

                          Hold the phone, I got it:

                          <DockPanel Name="dockPanel 1" Height="Auto" Width="Auto"
                          LastChildFill=" False" HorizontalAlign ment="Stretch"
                          VerticalAlignme nt="Stretch" />

                          Thanks for trying.
