  Hi
  
  I love the control so far :)  It works as expected. Very good.   
  
  I don't know if i'm in the right thread with this question because I suspect something generic about my question but here it goes:
  
  I have a usercontrol which has some stack panels with buttons and a DataForm like:
  
  

  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">

   

      <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >

   

          <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" >

   

               <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

                  <telerik:RadRadioButton Margin="0,5,5,5" Content="Normal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" IsChecked="True" Name="rbNormalView" Click="RrbClick" CommandParameter="1" />

                  <telerik:RadRadioButton Margin="0,5,5,5" Content="Passes" HorizontalAlignment="Left" IsChecked="False" Name="rbPassView" Click="RrbClick" CommandParameter="0"/>

               </StackPanel>

   

                   

             <telerik:RadDataForm EditEnding="RadDataFormVisitor_OnEditEnding"  VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Left" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left"  LabelPosition="Beside" Width="400" Name="radDataFormVisitor" BorderThickness="1" AutoEdit="True" AutoGeneratingField="RadDataForm1AutoGeneratingField" CommandButtonsVisibility="None">

                </telerik:RadDataForm>

                            

               

          </StackPanel>

   

           <Canvas Name="CameraCanvas" Margin="10">

          </Canvas>

   

       </StackPanel>

   

  </Grid>

  
  
  The problem is that I need to set the height of the dataform in pixels otherwise it will grow outside the usercontrol. I want the dataform to auto-height (or auto fill) to the height of the usercontrol. The dataform will show its own vertical scrollbar if neccesary.
  
  How do I do that? Do I need docking?
  
  
  Thanks,
  Edward

  Hello Edward,

   You should use Grid panel instead StackPanel since StackPanel  will measure child components with infinity height.
