FrameworkElement.MaxWidth property (Windows)

Gets or sets the maximum width constraint of a FrameworkElement.

Syntax

Public Property MaxWidth As Double
   Get
   Set

XAML Property Element Usage


<frameworkElement MaxWidth="double"/>

Property value

Type: System.Double [.NET] | float64 [C++]

The maximum width of the object, in pixels. The default is PositiveInfinity. This value can be any value equal to or greater than 0. PositiveInfinity is also valid.

Remarks

MaxWidth is one of three writable properties on FrameworkElement that specify width information. The other two are MinWidth and Width. If there is a conflict between these values, the order of application for actual width determination is that first MinWidth must be honored, then MaxWidth, and finally, if it is within bounds, Width. All of these properties are recommendations to the layout behavior of the element's parent in the object tree. The width of the object after layout runs is available as the ActualWidth property value.

Examples

This XAML example shows a technique of specifying a MaxWidth for a ViewBox. ViewBox is a decorator that can apply layout information to a single child and divide layout areas for the next parent element (in this case a StackPanel).

XAML


<Grid Height="600" Width="600">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition />
        <ColumnDefinition />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
        <RowDefinition />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    
    <StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Margin="5,5,5,5" Orientation="Vertical">
        <TextBlock Text="Stretch" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="12" />
        <Button Name="btn1" Click="stretchNone" Content="None" />
        <Button Name="btn2" Click="stretchFill" Content="Fill" />
        <Button Name="btn3" Click="stretchUni" Content="Uniform" />
        <Button Name="btn4" Click="stretchUniFill" Content="UniformToFill" />
    </StackPanel>

    <StackPanel Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Margin="5,5,5,5" Orientation="Vertical">
        <TextBlock Text="StretchDirection" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="12" />
        <Button Name="btn5" Click="sdUpOnly" Content="UpOnly" />
        <Button Name="btn6" Click="sdDownOnly" Content="DownOnly" />
        <Button Name="btn7" Click="sdBoth" Content="Both" />
    </StackPanel>

    <StackPanel Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="5" 
                Orientation="Vertical">
        <TextBlock Name="txt1" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Bold" />
        <TextBlock Name="txt2" FontSize="12" FontWeight="Bold" />
    </StackPanel>   

    <StackPanel Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="5" 
                Orientation="Horizontal">
        <Viewbox MaxWidth="100" MaxHeight="100" Name="vb1">
            <Image Source="flower.jpg"/>
        </Viewbox>
        <Viewbox MaxWidth="200" MaxHeight="200" Name="vb2">
            <Image Source="flower.jpg"/>
        </Viewbox>
        
        <Viewbox MaxWidth="300" MaxHeight="300" Name="vb3">
            <Image Source="flower.jpg"/>
        </Viewbox>
    </StackPanel>

</Grid>
