Question

I m successfully getting a TextBox to resize with a parent Border height but I need the TextBox to actually be 50 pixels smaller in height than the parent Border.

Any ideas how to achieve this?

The code I m using is

<Border VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" >
     <TextBox x:Name="txtActivityNotes" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Height="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Border}}, Path=ActualHeight}" AcceptsReturn="True" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" />
</Border>

Answer 1

Can t you just set a bottom margin of 50?

<TextBox Margin="0,0,0,50" />

Answer 2

I ve tried following and it works. add following to text box in xaml:

------
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" 
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
Height="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, *AncestorType*={x:Type *Grid*}}, Path=ActualHeight}"
------

Here, AncestorType is type of container containing the textBox. In my case it was Grid . And also add margin like,

  Margin="0,0,0,50"

to keep distance from border below.
