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.
