I cannot distinguish the different between Auto and * when setting width and height for a grid column.
We’re talking in the context of
WPFGrid here? My answer will talk about columns, but the same applies to rows.In brief:
–
Automeans size to column content and–
*means size proportional to gridAutomeans that a column is given as much width as the elements within it require.The width of
*sized columns is calculated by allocating space for theAuto, and fixed width columns, and then dividing up the remaining space. So if there’s only one*sized column, it will get all the remaining space, if there were two they would get half each, etc. You can also change the proportion allocated to each star sized column.If column A had a size of
2*and B had a size of3*then whole column space is divided into 5 equal shares; column A would get 2 shares of the space and B would get 3 shares.
