How to: Partition Space by Using the DockPanel Element
The following example creates a simple user interface (UI) framework using a xref:System.Windows.Controls.DockPanel element. The xref:System.Windows.Controls.DockPanel partitions available space to its child elements.
Example
This example uses the xref:System.Windows.Controls.DockPanel.Dock%2A property, which is an attached property, to dock two identical xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border elements at the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Dock.Top of the partitioned space. A third xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border element is docked to the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Dock.Left, with its width set to 200 pixels. A fourth xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border is docked to the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Dock.Bottom of the screen. The last xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border element automatically fills the remaining space.

Note
By default, the last child of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.DockPanel element fills the remaining unallocated space. If you do not want this behavior, set
LastChildFill="False".
The compiled application yields a new UI that looks like this.
