I have two textblocks inside a stackpanel. I fix my textblock height to 66. I also set the stackpanel height to 66. However, when I am running my app the height of stackpanel is always bigger than height of my textblocks. Do you know how can I fix this problem?
Thanks
Setting the height of a stackpanel configured to stack elements vertically makes no sense : the height will always be the sum of the heights of the elements of the panel.
Your problem is most likely the margin of the textbocks. Remove it and the panel will have the right size:
<TextBlock Margin="0,0,0,0" />

I want to have fluid layout for my view in a windows store app.
In a new page template you have a Grid which has a row set to fill the screen after the title at the top of the page.
So I have my content to enter into this grid row. My content is going to be a mixture of controls (images, text, vertical listview, maybe another gridview) but it isn't a single grouped collection that I can bind to a single gridview.
The point I'm trying to make is that I want my horizontal width to be more than that of the page, yet I want to size things fluidly which means relative to a single page height / width.
Ideally I don't want to have to specify hard coded widths for controls as I want this layout to work for as many different screen resolutions as possible. That being said, I imagine I will use Min / MaxWidth and heights to make sure items aren't too big or too small.
What approach should I take?
EDIT
Hopefully the following image would better describe what I mean.
The first image shows a (grouped) gridview that automatically will expand horizontally as it requires. This would work well but the controls I want to add are not grouped / related to each other.
The second image is what I am trying to do, which is to have a number of unrelated controls in a window but have them scroll off the side of the page horizontally. I can do this if I give each control a fixed width but I want to try and make it more flexible than that if possible (using min / maxWidth but not fixed values for the widths themselves).
Use star values in grid. Like:
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="3*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="2*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="1*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
...
and use ViewBox as the top container. ViewBox will scale all the content to fill the available size.
I'm working on this page and I'm having a issue with the DIV where sliders are. This div#home-slider has a height: 350px as you may notice and it works fine for large resolutions but since the page is responsive, when I resize the window or see the page from a tablet or smartphone a white row appears just below the sliders and it's caused by the height value since it doesn't change. Can any give me a solution for change the height or tell me if there is a CSS solution or hack for this? What would yours do in this case?
Have you tried to change the height to 100%?
I would remove the height declaration.
I've set width to 100% for all main divs but there is still horizontal scroll-bar. Can't fix that problem. How to remove it? I don't know why it's appearing. Please take a look at my test page. http://aquastyle.az?lang=en
I cannot get your test page to open but this is typically caused when you have padding, a shadow, or a border applied to the 100% width element causing it to render wider than 100%.
Without seeing the page, I can only give the following generic advice: This can be fixed by removing the style properties that are causing the problem or reducing the width until the problem disappears.
EDIT:
After looking at your page, you don't seem to have a problem as you described. You just have too much (too big/wide) content side by side. When I make my browser's window about 1700 pixels wide, the horizontal scroll-bar disappears. This is an issue of poor layout more than programming.
EDIT 2 (The Root Cause/Solution):
It seems that the OP's PHP program is calculating the "display" width and placing content accordingly. The problem is that the "browser window" width is not the same as the "display" width. My display is 1680 pixels wide and the OP's PHP program reports that correctly. Naturally, my browser window is not 1680 pixels wide, more like 1000-1200 pixels, so I get a long horizontal scroll-bar which disappears when I make the browser window exceed 1680 pixels. Taking the width of the vertical scroll-bar into account, you actually have to make the browser window about 20 pixels wider than the display in order to get the horizontal scroll-bar to disappear (for me that was about 1700 pixels total). I imagine the OP can fix this issue by looking at browser's "viewport" (window) width rather than the computer's "display" width.
You'll want to use
overflow:hidden
on the element you're trying to eliminate the scroll bars from.
Or, you could use jQuery:
$("body").css("overflow", "hidden");
EDIT:
Your layout is 1920x1200. I have that resolution right now and I NEVER max out my browser window. It's always 20 to 25% smaller.
Most if not 98% of website layouts are 960px max width. I looked at your CSS (nice try with disabling right-click BTW) and you're left and right columns are both 200px EACH, while your main-content width is 1460px. I think you see where I'm going with this. I'm sorry, but the only way you're going to get no scrollbars is to redo your layout where everything fits in a 1000px layout or less. Preferably less. An important thing to check is the screen resolution stats that help in determining what percentage of users is running at a certain screen resolution. This will help you in targeting your preferred audience.
TL;DR
You gotta redo your entire layout, it's too wide for the majority of users out there..
I like to display a div at width, say 900px initially and when the browser window shrinks below 900px, the div shrinks with it. I like to do this without using Javascript. I tried adding min-width:0px to the div but it didn't help.
So you want a max-width?
By default a div is width: auto and using a standard block box, so it will expand to fill the available horizontal space. max-width will constrain it.
If I have an image combined with a style:
<img class="test" src="testimage.jpg" />
img.test { width: 50%;}
The image resizes to 50% the width of the box containing it, as well as resizing vertically, maintaining the aspect ratio.
This seems to require the enclosing DIV to be set to a particular width and height value. But if you want the enclosing DIV to resize automatically as the browser is dragged smaller or larger, wouldn't this be a problem?
I've clarified my answer to your original question. Go take a look and see if it clears things up. More or less, if you want the image to resize with the window you can't set the DIV to a fixed width and height. The DIV must have a % width and height also.
You'll need to manually specify the width and height properties to get the image to keep its dimensions. This wouldn't be too difficult if you're using server-side coding (PHP/ASP).
Another way to do it would be to use JavaScript to calculate and resize the image dynamically.
No, the image will still be 50% of the div, and if the div is a proportion of the page, that doesn't matter.
Its all proportions: The enclosing div might be 2/3 of the whole window, and the image will wil 1/2 of that. It all gets calculated before its displayed, just a bunch of number crunching. ;D
