ItemsControl Content Sizing issue

Question

I have a dock panel of 2 elements, a Map and an editing panel. The Editing panel goes on the bottom, so that the map when docked at the top "Fill"s the rest of the area. I want this bottom editing panel Height to be modififable based on what editing user contrl gets added to it.

Thank you very much for any assistance.

Answer 1

You would just need to set the ItemsControl's Height property to auto, and each time you add or remove a View from the ItemsControl region, the Region would get resized to fit the displayed Views.

I've made a small sample so that you could find the configuration easy to understand:

• ResizedItemsControlRegion

Notice that the EditRegion docked at the bottom has a border set in order to differentiate both Regions.

I hope this helped you.
