RadChart and RadExpander Sharing space

[Dr.YSG]

I have been trying to have a StackPanel which has two sub-elements:

1. A RadExpander
2. A RadChart

The idea is that when when the expander is closed, The Chart gets the free space, and when it opens up, the Chart is shoved down.

That is why I use the StackPanel

The issue is that I don't want the StackPanel to have a fixed Height (or width). But when I take off the Height, then the Chart grows to 600 in Height (even though it is set to Auto).

Grids solve the "fill available space issue), But no combination of nesting, *-Layout, AutoLayout or other techniques have allowed me to have the "push this control down" effect. With the GRID I always get the expander overlaying the RadChart (and hiding the title).

Hi Dr.YSG,

The following setup works fine for me:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <telerik:RadExpander>
            <Rectangle Fill="Pink" Height="300" />
        </telerik:RadExpander>
        <telerikChart:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" Grid.Row="1" />
    </Grid>

Best,

Excellent. I have been trying all sorts of combinations of Auto, *, and nesting of Grids. I thought I had tried that one, But obviously not.

It is working for me for both Charts and RadGrids.. Thank you for helping me with this, it was a couple of weeks of naggling issues.
