# How to: Create a StackPanel
This example shows how to create a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel>.
## Example
A <xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel> allows you to stack elements in a specified direction. By using properties that are defined on <xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel>, content can flow both vertically, which is the default setting, or horizontally.
The following example vertically stacks five <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock> controls, each with a different <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border> and <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border.Background%2A>, by using <xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel>. The child elements that have no specified <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Width%2A> stretch to fill the parent window; however, the child elements that have a specified <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Width%2A>, are centered within the window.
The default stack direction in a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel> is vertical. To control content flow in a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel>, use the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.StackPanel.Orientation%2A> property. You can control horizontal alignment by using the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.HorizontalAlignment%2A> property.
```xaml
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" WindowTitle="StackPanel Sample">
<StackPanel>
<Border Background="SkyBlue" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" FontSize="12">Stacked Item #1</TextBlock>
</Border>
<Border Width="400" Background="CadetBlue" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" FontSize="14">Stacked Item #2</TextBlock>
</Border>
<Border Background="LightGoldenRodYellow" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" FontSize="16">Stacked Item #3</TextBlock>
</Border>
<Border Width="200" Background="PaleGreen" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" FontSize="18">Stacked Item #4</TextBlock>
</Border>
<Border Background="White" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1">
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" FontSize="20">Stacked Item #5</TextBlock>
</Border>
</StackPanel>
