Question

I need to create 3 columns (dock-able) on left side of window using XAML. This window used to be a Grid base now it should be Canvas so no more following code would work:

    <StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Margin="1,1,7,0">
        </StackPanel>
        <Expander Header="one"  IsExpanded="True"/>
        <Expander Header="two" IsExpanded="True"/>
        <Expander Header="three"  IsExpanded="True"/>
    </StackPanel>

So I now I’m using as container now instead. However, One, Two and Three are displayed on line line however, I need to have them vertically.

<DockPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" Width="Auto">
    <Expander Header="One" IsExpanded="True"/>
    <Expander Header="Two" IsExpanded="True"/>
    <Expander Header="Three" IsEnabled="True"/>

My goal is to create toolbar on left side of the window so these will show some controls that user can drag and drop onto Canvas. I will appreciate it if you experts could give me some hints on this matter too.
