WPF ProgressBar in StatusBar won't stretch
c#, progress-bar, statusbar, wpf
Solution
This is due to `StatusBar` using a `DockPanel` to lay out its children by default. Please see my question and answer here.
Problem
New to WPF & I have the following XAML ``` <Window x:Class="Wpf.RossKiosk.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Topmost="True" WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" WindowState="Maximized" ResizeMode="NoResize" WindowStyle="None"> <DockPanel LastChildFill="True"> <StatusBar Name="StatusBarMain" Height="30" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"> <StatusBarItem HorizontalContentAlignment="Left"> <TextBlock x:Name="TextBlockStatus" Margin="5,0,0,0" /> </StatusBarItem> <StatusBarItem HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch"> <ProgressBar x:Name="ProgressBarMain" IsIndeterminate="True" Height="15" /> </StatusBarItem> <StatusBarItem HorizontalContentAlignment="Right"> <TextBlock x:Name="TextBlockInfo" Margin="5,0,0,0" TextAlignment="Right" /> </StatusBarItem> </StatusBar> <Grid Name="GridMain"> <!-- Dynamically Created buttons --> </Grid> </DockPanel> ``` I want the ProgressBar to fill the centre portion of the StatusBar but it only shows itself a few pixels in width. Any ideas?
