You're worrying about this too much. Keep working with WPF and learning it. Once you understand how it works and the best controls to contain other controls, then come back and complain if you're still getting the same problem.


>Maybe for you, but I am just a newbie at WPF so it will not make sense. However now you mention it. I can see what is happening. It is just that I did not set any width for any controls. I just moved them about. VS generated that code all on its own and did not tell me that it was setting a width property for one control I moved and not for another. How odd. Is there no consistent way to get objects to align? I don't want to have to type in XAML. I want to do it visually.

When I downloaded and ran his project on my XP machine, the button had GROWN in runtime. Note that the code is exactly the same. Only the OS has changed. So this means that for every control I will have to have different settings for XP, Vista and maybe Windows 7?
