I am trying to create some rounded textboxes, and I have found some XAML

  • 0

I am trying to create some rounded textboxes, and I have found some XAML here on this site, and it works well at creating the textboxes I want. However, if I resize my window, either in the designer or at run time, the height and width of the textboxes change with it, and they get distorted and useless.

I’m still learning WPF, so I’m sure I am missing something simple. Thanks for any help.

    Check horizontal and vertical alignment properties they are set to stretch by default
