How to anchor controls in WPF?

Asked 2011-03-04T01:10:38.813

I have a a TreeView that fills the top part of the application, but since the number of items in the TreeView changes, my Apply button changes its position vertically. Is there a way to anchor it to the bottom part of the window, so it's always on the right bottom part of the window, i.e. 10x10 distance from the right bottom edge.

c# .net wpf anchor

To achieve anchoring, Set following properties:

  • Width="auto"
  • Height="auto"
  • VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
  • HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
  • Set margins as needed.

Example:

    <TabControl

        Name="tabControl1"

        HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 

        Margin="40,40,40,40"  

        Width="auto" 

        Height="auto" 

        VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
