Dockpanel behaviour in WP8

c#, windows-phone-8, wpf

Solution

You can use `Grid` with two columns:

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <TextBlock Text="Hue Bins"  />
    <Slider x:Name="HueBins" Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Value="24" Maximum="36" Minimum="1"/>
</Grid>

Problem

I am writing a Windows Phone 8 app, and I am having some problems with the UI. I want a control that will stretch to the width of the whole screen, and will flow its children controls horizontally (to fill the space). Currently, I have a a StackPanel with Orientation = Horizontal, but it doesn't allow the children control (a slider) to have a HorizontalAlignment=Stretch (that actually stretches). I can manually strech the slider, but I don't want to have hardcoded sizes.. Here is the code: ``` <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <TextBlock Text="Hue Bins" /> <Slider x:Name="HueBins" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Value="24" Maximum="36" Minimum="1"/> </StackPanel> ``` and the resulting image: In normal WPF, there is the Dockpanel control, but that doesn't seem to exist for WP8. Is there anyway to emulate that behavior?
