Keep content page within window bounds

[LtKlaus]

This is my first time using WPF UI and I really like how it looks and how easy it's been to implement so far.

Because I'm new to this, I'm not sure the best way to explain my issue. I have a page that shows a DataGrid with some buttons above it for adding new items, editing the selected item, etc. When the DataGrid has a lot of rows, the DataGrid stretches off the bottom of the window and the page shows a scrollbar. Using the scrollbar scrolls the full page and the buttons above the grid go off the top of the window.

The root control in the page is a grid with two rows. The height of the first row is Auto and the second is *. What I want is the DataGrid to just fill the screen and show a scrollbar inside the DataGrid instead of the full page.

I can set a height on my root grid of the DataGrid and the DataGrid will show it's scrollbar. That just makes it a fixed height though and it no longer resizes with my application.

Hope that makes sense.

Looks like I got it figured out. I changed the Page to a UserControl and it sizes the way I want now

I dont think using UserControl instead of Page for a Page is a good practice, im stuck in this problem also.

Instead of changing the Page to a UserControl, have you tried adding the Page Property ScrollViewer.CanContentScroll="False"?

Finally got back to working with this again and I can confirm this does work. Thanks.
