Avalonia Layout

Overview

Avalonia layout uses a two-pass measure/arrange system. Every control has Margin (space outside the control), Padding (space inside), HorizontalAlignment, and VerticalAlignment. Layout is done with Panel subclasses — choose the panel that matches the arrangement model.

Panel Quick Reference

Panel	Arranges children	Use when
`Grid`	In defined rows/columns	Complex layouts, forms, dashboards
`StackPanel`	Linearly (H or V)	Toolbars, lists, vertical forms
`WrapPanel`	Linearly, wraps to next row/col	Tag clouds, icon grids, badge lists
`DockPanel`	Docked to edges + fill center	App shell, menu+content+statusbar
`Canvas`	Absolute x/y positions	Drawing surfaces, overlays, diagrams
`UniformGrid`	Equal-size cells, auto rows/cols	Grids of same-size items
`RelativePanel`	Relative to siblings or panel	Adaptive layouts, dynamic alignment

Grid

Sizing Modes

Syntax	Meaning
`*`	Proportional — takes remaining space
`2*`	Takes 2× the share of `*`
`Auto`	Sized to content
`200`	Fixed pixel size

Basic Grid

<Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,*,Auto"
      ColumnDefinitions="200,*">

    <!-- Header spans full width -->
    <Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="Navy" Height="50"/>

    <!-- Sidebar -->
    <ListBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"/>

    <!-- Main content -->
    <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
        <StackPanel Margin="16" Spacing="8"/>
    </ScrollViewer>

    <!-- Footer spans full width -->
    <Border Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Padding="8,4"/> <!-- no built-in StatusBar control; use Border/StackPanel -->

</Grid>

<Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto"
      ColumnDefinitions="120,*"
      Width="320"
      HorizontalAlignment="Center"
      VerticalAlignment="Center">

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"
               Text="Username:"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               Margin="0,0,8,8"/>
    <TextBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
             Margin="0,0,0,8"/>

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"
               Text="Password:"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               Margin="0,0,8,8"/>
    <TextBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
             PasswordChar="●"
             Margin="0,0,0,16"/>

    <Button Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
            Content="Sign In"
            HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>

</Grid>

SharedSizeGroup

Keeps columns at equal widths across separate Grids:

<StackPanel Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="Auto,*">
        <TextBlock Grid.Column="0"
                   Text="First Name:"
                   SharedSizeGroup="Labels"/>
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1"/>
    </Grid>
    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="Auto,*">
        <TextBlock Grid.Column="0"
                   Text="Email Address:"
                   SharedSizeGroup="Labels"/>
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1"/>
    </Grid>
</StackPanel>

StackPanel

<!-- Vertical (default) with spacing -->
<StackPanel Spacing="8" Margin="16">
    <Button Content="First"/>
    <Button Content="Second"/>
    <Button Content="Third"/>
</StackPanel>

<!-- Horizontal toolbar -->
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Spacing="4">
    <Button Content="New"/>
    <Button Content="Open"/>
    <Separator/>
    <Button Content="Save"/>
</StackPanel>

Spacing works in 11.3, 12.0 and 12.1. Do not use Margin on each child for spacing — use Spacing on the panel.

DockPanel

<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">

    <!-- Top menu bar -->
    <Menu DockPanel.Dock="Top">
        <MenuItem Header="File"/>
    </Menu>

    <!-- Bottom status bar -->
    <Border DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Padding="8,4"> <!-- no built-in StatusBar control -->
        <TextBlock Text="Ready"/>
    </Border>

    <!-- Left sidebar -->
    <TreeView DockPanel.Dock="Left" Width="200"/>

    <!-- Center fills remaining space (LastChildFill) -->
    <TextEditor/>

</DockPanel>

Dock order matters: elements are docked in the order they appear. The last child fills remaining space when LastChildFill="True" (default).

Canvas

<Canvas Width="400" Height="300">
    <!-- Positioned absolutely -->
    <Rectangle Canvas.Left="50" Canvas.Top="30"
               Width="100" Height="60"
               Fill="CornflowerBlue"/>

    <Ellipse Canvas.Left="200" Canvas.Top="100"
             Width="80" Height="80"
             Fill="Tomato"
             ZIndex="1"/>

    <TextBlock Canvas.Right="10" Canvas.Bottom="10"
               Text="Bottom-right anchor"/>
</Canvas>

Canvas.Left/Top/Right/Bottom are attached properties. Use ZIndex to control paint order.

Alignment & Spacing Reference

HorizontalAlignment / VerticalAlignment

Value	Behavior
`Stretch` (default)	Fills available space
`Left` / `Top`	Aligns to start edge
`Center`	Centers in available space
`Right` / `Bottom`	Aligns to end edge

Margin / Padding Syntax

Syntax	Meaning
`"8"`	All four sides = 8
`"8,4"`	Left+Right=8, Top+Bottom=4
`"8,4,8,4"`	Left=8, Top=4, Right=8, Bottom=4

<!-- Uniform -->
<Button Margin="8" Content="A"/>

<!-- Horizontal, Vertical -->
<Button Margin="16,8" Content="B"/>

<!-- Left, Top, Right, Bottom -->
<Button Margin="16,8,0,8" Content="C"/>

Size Constraints

<TextBox Width="200"
         MinWidth="100"
         MaxWidth="400"
         Height="32"/>

Avoid setting both Width and HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" — they conflict. Use one or the other.

Responsive Layouts

Proportional Grid (Most Common)

<!-- Two-column layout: sidebar + content -->
<Grid ColumnDefinitions="250,*">
    <NavigationPane Grid.Column="0"/>
    <ContentArea Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>

Adaptive Layout with ContainerQuery (11.x and 12.x)

Mark a container, then host a ContainerQuery (not nested inside a Style) in an ancestor's Styles. Styles inside can't affect the container or its ancestors.

<Grid>
    <Grid.Styles>
        <ContainerQuery Name="host" Query="max-width:600">
            <Style Selector="UniformGrid#cards">
                <Setter Property="Columns" Value="1"/>
            </Style>
        </ContainerQuery>
    </Grid.Styles>
    <Border Container.Name="host" Container.Sizing="Width">
        <UniformGrid x:Name="cards" Columns="3"/>
    </Border>
</Grid>

For logic that styles can't express, react to Bounds changes in code:

// In code-behind
this.GetObservable(BoundsProperty)
    .Subscribe(bounds =>
    {
        if (bounds.Width < 600)
        {
            mainGrid.ColumnDefinitions = new ColumnDefinitions("*");
            // move items to single column
        }
        else
        {
            mainGrid.ColumnDefinitions = new ColumnDefinitions("*,*");
        }
    });

ScrollViewer for Overflow

<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
              VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
    <StackPanel Spacing="8" Margin="16">
        <!-- content taller than viewport -->
    </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>

Version Notes

Layout panels/Grid/StackPanel APIs are unchanged between 11.3 and 12.x.
(12.0+) Layoutable Thickness properties (Margin, Padding, ...) reject NaN/infinite values. TextBlock no longer rounds its size when UseLayoutRounding=false.
(12.0+) LayoutManager class removed (→ ILayoutManager); ILayoutRoot removed. Don't cast the root visual to TopLevel — use TopLevel.GetTopLevel(visual).
(12.0+) Layoutable.GetMaxSizeFromConstraint is protected (override in custom panels/controls).

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Symptom	Fix
`Canvas` inside `StackPanel` with no explicit size	Canvas children invisible (zero height/width)	Set explicit `Width`/`Height` on the `Canvas`
`*` sizing inside `StackPanel`	Star column/row collapses	`StackPanel` gives infinite space — `*` has no bound. Use `Grid` instead.
Forgetting `LastChildFill="False"` in `DockPanel`	Last element stretches unexpectedly	Add `LastChildFill="False"` and size last child explicitly
`Margin` on root element of `UserControl`	Outer margin bleeds outside control bounds	Use `Padding` on the `UserControl` root, not `Margin`
`HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"` with explicit `Width`	Width is ignored or conflicted	Remove explicit `Width` or change alignment to `Left`/`Right`
Dock order mistakes in `DockPanel`	Elements appear in wrong positions	Dock elements in correct top→bottom order; last undocked child fills
Setting `Height="Auto"` on `StackPanel`	No effect — `StackPanel` is always `Auto` height by default	Remove redundant property; set explicit height on parent if constraint needed
Nested `ScrollViewer` without fixed outer height	Inner scroll never activates	Ensure outer container has a bounded height (`Height`, `MaxHeight`, or star row in `Grid`)

# Avalonia Layout

## Overview
Avalonia layout uses a two-pass measure/arrange system. Every control has `Margin` (space outside the control), `Padding` (space inside), `HorizontalAlignment`, and `VerticalAlignment`. Layout is done with `Panel` subclasses — choose the panel that matches the arrangement model.

## Panel Quick Reference

| Panel | Arranges children | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| `Grid` | In defined rows/columns | Complex layouts, forms, dashboards |
| `StackPanel` | Linearly (H or V) | Toolbars, lists, vertical forms |
| `WrapPanel` | Linearly, wraps to next row/col | Tag clouds, icon grids, badge lists |
| `DockPanel` | Docked to edges + fill center | App shell, menu+content+statusbar |
| `Canvas` | Absolute x/y positions | Drawing surfaces, overlays, diagrams |
| `UniformGrid` | Equal-size cells, auto rows/cols | Grids of same-size items |
| `RelativePanel` | Relative to siblings or panel | Adaptive layouts, dynamic alignment |

## Grid

### Sizing Modes

| Syntax | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `*` | Proportional — takes remaining space |
| `2*` | Takes 2× the share of `*` |
| `Auto` | Sized to content |
| `200` | Fixed pixel size |

### Basic Grid

```xml
<Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,*,Auto"
      ColumnDefinitions="200,*">

    <!-- Header spans full width -->
    <Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="Navy" Height="50"/>

    <!-- Sidebar -->
    <ListBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"/>

    <!-- Main content -->
    <ScrollViewer Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
        <StackPanel Margin="16" Spacing="8"/>
    </ScrollViewer>

    <!-- Footer spans full width -->
    <Border Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Padding="8,4"/> <!-- no built-in StatusBar control; use Border/StackPanel -->

</Grid>
```

### Login Form Example

```xml
<Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto"
      ColumnDefinitions="120,*"
      Width="320"
      HorizontalAlignment="Center"
      VerticalAlignment="Center">

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"
               Text="Username:"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               Margin="0,0,8,8"/>
    <TextBox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1"
             Margin="0,0,0,8"/>

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0"
               Text="Password:"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               Margin="0,0,8,8"/>
    <TextBox Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"
             PasswordChar="●"
             Margin="0,0,0,16"/>

    <Button Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"
            Content="Sign In"
            HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>

</Grid>
```

### SharedSizeGroup

Keeps columns at equal widths across separate Grids:

```xml
<StackPanel Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True">
    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="Auto,*">
        <TextBlock Grid.Column="0"
                   Text="First Name:"
                   SharedSizeGroup="Labels"/>
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1"/>
    </Grid>
    <Grid ColumnDefinitions="Auto,*">
        <TextBlock Grid.Column="0"
                   Text="Email Address:"
                   SharedSizeGroup="Labels"/>
        <TextBox Grid.Column="1"/>
    </Grid>
</StackPanel>
```

## StackPanel

```xml
<!-- Vertical (default) with spacing -->
<StackPanel Spacing="8" Margin="16">
    <Button Content="First"/>
    <Button Content="Second"/>
    <Button Content="Third"/>
</StackPanel>

<!-- Horizontal toolbar -->
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Spacing="4">
    <Button Content="New"/>
    <Button Content="Open"/>
    <Separator/>
    <Button Content="Save"/>
</StackPanel>
```

`Spacing` works in 11.3, 12.0 and 12.1. Do not use `Margin` on each child for spacing — use `Spacing` on the panel.

## DockPanel

```xml
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">

    <!-- Top menu bar -->
    <Menu DockPanel.Dock="Top">
        <MenuItem Header="File"/>
    </Menu>

    <!-- Bottom status bar -->
    <Border DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Padding="8,4"> <!-- no built-in StatusBar control -->
        <TextBlock Text="Ready"/>
    </Border>

    <!-- Left sidebar -->
    <TreeView DockPanel.Dock="Left" Width="200"/>

    <!-- Center fills remaining space (LastChildFill) -->
    <TextEditor/>

</DockPanel>
```

Dock order matters: elements are docked in the order they appear. The last child fills remaining space when `LastChildFill="True"` (default).

## Canvas

```xml
<Canvas Width="400" Height="300">
    <!-- Positioned absolutely -->
    <Rectangle Canvas.Left="50" Canvas.Top="30"
               Width="100" Height="60"
               Fill="CornflowerBlue"/>

    <Ellipse Canvas.Left="200" Canvas.Top="100"
             Width="80" Height="80"
             Fill="Tomato"
             ZIndex="1"/>

    <TextBlock Canvas.Right="10" Canvas.Bottom="10"
               Text="Bottom-right anchor"/>
</Canvas>
```

`Canvas.Left`/`Top`/`Right`/`Bottom` are attached properties. Use `ZIndex` to control paint order.

## Alignment & Spacing Reference

### HorizontalAlignment / VerticalAlignment

| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
| `Stretch` (default) | Fills available space |
| `Left` / `Top` | Aligns to start edge |
| `Center` | Centers in available space |
| `Right` / `Bottom` | Aligns to end edge |

### Margin / Padding Syntax

| Syntax | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `"8"` | All four sides = 8 |
| `"8,4"` | Left+Right=8, Top+Bottom=4 |
| `"8,4,8,4"` | Left=8, Top=4, Right=8, Bottom=4 |

```xml
<!-- Uniform -->
<Button Margin="8" Content="A"/>

<!-- Horizontal, Vertical -->
<Button Margin="16,8" Content="B"/>

<!-- Left, Top, Right, Bottom -->
<Button Margin="16,8,0,8" Content="C"/>
```

### Size Constraints

```xml
<TextBox Width="200"
         MinWidth="100"
         MaxWidth="400"
         Height="32"/>
```

Avoid setting both `Width` and `HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"` — they conflict. Use one or the other.

## Responsive Layouts

### Proportional Grid (Most Common)

```xml
<!-- Two-column layout: sidebar + content -->
<Grid ColumnDefinitions="250,*">
    <NavigationPane Grid.Column="0"/>
    <ContentArea Grid.Column="1"/>
</Grid>
```

### Adaptive Layout with ContainerQuery (11.x and 12.x)

Mark a container, then host a `ContainerQuery` (not nested inside a `Style`) in an ancestor's `Styles`. Styles inside can't affect the container or its ancestors.

```xml
<Grid>
    <Grid.Styles>
        <ContainerQuery Name="host" Query="max-width:600">
            <Style Selector="UniformGrid#cards">
                <Setter Property="Columns" Value="1"/>
            </Style>
        </ContainerQuery>
    </Grid.Styles>
    <Border Container.Name="host" Container.Sizing="Width">
        <UniformGrid x:Name="cards" Columns="3"/>
    </Border>
</Grid>
```

For logic that styles can't express, react to `Bounds` changes in code:

```csharp
// In code-behind
this.GetObservable(BoundsProperty)
    .Subscribe(bounds =>
    {
        if (bounds.Width < 600)
        {
            mainGrid.ColumnDefinitions = new ColumnDefinitions("*");
            // move items to single column
        }
        else
        {
            mainGrid.ColumnDefinitions = new ColumnDefinitions("*,*");
        }
    });
```

### ScrollViewer for Overflow

```xml
<ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
              VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
    <StackPanel Spacing="8" Margin="16">
        <!-- content taller than viewport -->
    </StackPanel>
</ScrollViewer>
```

## Version Notes
- Layout panels/Grid/StackPanel APIs are unchanged between 11.3 and 12.x.
- **(12.0+)** Layoutable `Thickness` properties (`Margin`, `Padding`, ...) reject NaN/infinite values. `TextBlock` no longer rounds its size when `UseLayoutRounding=false`.
- **(12.0+)** `LayoutManager` class removed (→ `ILayoutManager`); `ILayoutRoot` removed. Don't cast the root visual to `TopLevel` — use `TopLevel.GetTopLevel(visual)`.
- **(12.0+)** `Layoutable.GetMaxSizeFromConstraint` is protected (override in custom panels/controls).

## Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| `Canvas` inside `StackPanel` with no explicit size | Canvas children invisible (zero height/width) | Set explicit `Width`/`Height` on the `Canvas` |
| `*` sizing inside `StackPanel` | Star column/row collapses | `StackPanel` gives infinite space — `*` has no bound. Use `Grid` instead. |
| Forgetting `LastChildFill="False"` in `DockPanel` | Last element stretches unexpectedly | Add `LastChildFill="False"` and size last child explicitly |
| `Margin` on root element of `UserControl` | Outer margin bleeds outside control bounds | Use `Padding` on the `UserControl` root, not `Margin` |
| `HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"` with explicit `Width` | Width is ignored or conflicted | Remove explicit `Width` or change alignment to `Left`/`Right` |
| Dock order mistakes in `DockPanel` | Elements appear in wrong positions | Dock elements in correct top→bottom order; last undocked child fills |
| Setting `Height="Auto"` on `StackPanel` | No effect — `StackPanel` is always `Auto` height by default | Remove redundant property; set explicit height on parent if constraint needed |
| Nested `ScrollViewer` without fixed outer height | Inner scroll never activates | Ensure outer container has a bounded height (`Height`, `MaxHeight`, or star row in `Grid`) |
