GridUnitType Enumeration

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Describes the kind of value that a GridLength object is holding.

Namespace:  System.Windows
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
XAML Attribute Usage
Copy 
<object property="enumMemberName"/>

Member nameDescription
AutoThe size is determined by the size properties of the content object.
PixelThe value is expressed in logical pixels.
StarThe value is expressed as a weighted proportion of available space.

Star sizing is used to distribute available space by weighted proportions.

In XAML, star sizings are expressed as * or 2*. In the first case, the row or column would receive a third of the available space. In the second case, the row or column would receive two-thirds of the available space, and so on.

The following example shows how to position some TextBlock objects and a Rectangle inside a Grid.

XAML
Copy 

<Grid Background="#DCDCDC" 
ShowGridLines="True">
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <TextBlock Margin="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
           TextWrapping="Wrap">
    This TextBlock is positioned in the first column and the 
    first row (column 0, row 0) and spans across all three columns (ColumnSpan 3).
    </TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Margin="5" FontWeight="Bold">Rectangle:</TextBlock>
    <Rectangle Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Fill="Red"
           Width="200" Height="50"/>
    <Button Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="2" Content="Stretched Button" />
    <Border Background="Transparent" BorderThickness="5" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" >
    <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap">
        This TextBlock spans across two rows.
    </TextBlock>
    </Border>
    <TextBlock Margin="5" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0">1st Column, 4th Row</TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Margin="5" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="2">3rd Column, 4th Row</TextBlock>
</Grid>

The preceding example produces output that is similar to the following illustration. Note that the ShowGridLines property of the Grid is set to true so that you can see the lines of the Grid. ShowGridLines is useful for visualizing where the Grid cells are, but because grid lines cannot be styled or customized, they are typically removed when the layout design is finished.
