How to: Share Sizing Properties Between Grids

This example shows how to share the sizing data of columns and rows between xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid elements in order to keep sizing consistent.

Example

The following example introduces two xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid elements as child elements of a parent xref:System.Windows.Controls.DockPanel. The xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid.IsSharedSizeScope%2A attached property of xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid is defined on the parent xref:System.Windows.Controls.DockPanel.

The example manipulates the property value by using two xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button elements; each element represents one of the Boolean property values. When the xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid.IsSharedSizeScope%2A property value is set to true, each column or row member of a xref:System.Windows.Controls.DefinitionBase.SharedSizeGroup%2A shares sizing information, regardless of the content of a row or column.

The following code-behind example handles the methods that the button xref:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.Click event raises. The example writes the results of these method calls to xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock elements that use related get methods to output the new property values as strings.
