SizeToContent property of Window indicates whether a window will
automatically size itself to fit the size of its content. This value is a type
of SizeToContent enumeration that has four values – Manual, Width, Height, and WidthAndHeight.
- When SizeToContent
is set to WidthAndHeight, the values of Height or Width properties have no
effect.
- When SizeToContent
is set to Height, setting Height does not change the height of the window.
- When SizeToContent
is set to Width, setting Width does not change the width of the window.
- When SizeToContent ise
set to Manual, the size of window is determined by other properties including
Width, Height, MaxWidth, MaxHeight, MinWidth, and MinHeight.
The following code snippet sets the SizeToContent to
WidthAndHeight.
<Window x:Class="WindowSample.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="WPF
Window Sample"
Width="300" Height="200" Left="500" Top="500"
SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight"

This example shows how to set the SizeToContent property to specify how a window resizes to fit its content at run-time. Choose one of them ;)
// Manually alter window height and width
this.SizeToContent = SizeToContent.Manual;
// Automatically resize width relative to content
this.SizeToContent = SizeToContent.Width;
// Automatically resize height relative to content
this.SizeToContent = SizeToContent.Height;
// Automatically resize height and width relative to content
this.SizeToContent = SizeToContent.WidthAndHeight;
