Question

To keep things simple all i am trying to do is to place a listbox and a button below it. Although it seems simple it isn’t. It is not, because it is in a GRID…

The row size is star size and listbox having verticalAlign top works great all the time. The problem is that I cannot add a button below it. Having a grid with 2 rows one star height and the other auto would place the button at the bottom of the form even if listbox contents are little. Trying to set both rows auto doesn’t work when resizing as no scrollbar is visible at the listbox…. Any workaround for this??

Update some code

 <Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"  />
           <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
         </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <DockPanel >

       <ListBox DockPanel.Dock="Top" Name="lbStaff"  ItemsSource="{Binding}"  
            Grid.Row="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" BorderThickness="0" 
               Background="WhiteSmoke" Margin="15,10,20,30" Style="{DynamicResource 
               ListBoxUsers}" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
       <ListBox.Resources>
         <Style  TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}" BasedOn="{StaticResource 
            ListBoxTest1}"></Style>
       </ListBox.Resources>
         <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
             <DataTemplate >
                 <StackPanel Margin="5,4,5,4">
                     <TextBlock   HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"  FontSize="16"><Run 
                     Text="{Binding Name}"/> - <Run Text="{Binding   Mode=OneWay, 
                     Path=PositionString}"/></TextBlock>
                     <TextBlock >Τηλέφωνο <Run Text="{Binding Phone}"/>
                 </TextBlock>
                 </StackPanel>

             </DataTemplate>
           </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
  </ListBox>
     <Button DockPanel.Dock="Top" Grid.Row="0"   HorizontalAlignment="Right" 
       VerticalAlignment="Top"  Margin="0,10,7,0" Style="{DynamicResource 
        ButtonStyleNew1}">
       <Button.Content>
           <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
               <Image Source="/WpfApplication1;component/Images/filenew1.png" 
               Stretch="None" VerticalAlignment="Center"></Image>
               <TextBlock Margin="5,0,0,0" FontSize="16">Προσθήκη Χρήστη</TextBlock>
          </StackPanel>
      </Button.Content>
     </Button>
  </DockPanel>                       

</Grid>

</Grid>

I solved this problem using a dockpanel. I docked buttons at bottom and then i let listbox to fill the remaining area..(lastchildfill=true) …

It works fine…
