Silverlight: Docking of controls

Question

Is it possible to dock Silverlight based controls like Windows Forms control ? For example I want to use a tab control, which I want to use as a control for page navigation ! Unfortunately I don't find a "Dock" property :-( !

Answer 1

I am not sure that i understand your question, but you can consider using one of the various WPF layout techniques.

Example:

<DockPanel LastChildFill="False">
    <Button DockPanel.Dock="Bottom">Bottom</Button>
    <Button DockPanel.Dock="Left">Left</Button>        
    <Button DockPanel.Dock="Right">Right</Button>
    <Button DockPanel.Dock="Top">Top</Button>
    <Button>Fill</Button>
</DockPanel>

Answer 2

DockPanel might be helpful.

Answer 3

The Silverlight Toolkit found on Codeplex contains a DockPanel control, you will want to use that.
