#6 – WPF Layout
July 18, 2010 Leave a comment
WPF uses a flow-based layout model for positioning controls, rather than a coordinate-based model where the location of each control is specified using exact pixel coordinates. This is a layout model that is similar to how web pages are laid out using CSS.
The flow-based layout model allows WPF controls to be adjusted to fit the window that they are being rendered in. A WPF GUI is therefore both size- and resolution-independent.
All WPF controls are hosted in a container. The main flow-based containers are:
- DockPanel
- Grid
- StackPanel
- WrapPanel
