Question

I’ve got a user control that I’m loading into a Window dynamically – I wanted to set the Window so that it didn’t have a size and then I thought the window to resize accordingly depending on the UserControl. However it dosn’t – can anyone assist please?

I’ve made a very basic example – I’ve cut out the dynamic bits and just put a UserControl in a Window. What do I need to do to get the window to be tight around the UserControl?

Thanks,

Andy

<UserControl x:Class="WpfApplication1.UserControl1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Height="300" Width="300" Background="LightBlue">
    <Grid>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>


<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
    xmlns:WpfApplication1="clr-namespace:WpfApplication1" Title="Window1"  >
    <Grid>
        <WpfApplication1:UserControl1>
        </WpfApplication1:UserControl1>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Try setting SizeToContent to WidthAndHeight on your Window.
