    I was expecting a balanced Wrap Panel that would make columns or rows equally long (depending on the orientation). In your example you have 15 elements in your wrap panel. This would result in 3 rows or 3 columns of 5 items each. Would that kind of balancing be just as easy to implement?

    Torsten, That seems like it would be fairly straightforward. In fact, I bet you could use my BandedStackPanel to do exactly that: blogs.msdn.com/.../this-one-time-at-band-camp-a-banded-stackpanel-implementation-for-silverlight-and-wpf.aspx Hope this helps!

    Hi, this is great stuff. I have a query though, the post is pretty old but hoping for the best.. I'm using this as ItemsPanelTemplate of a listbox. I need to make changes to this so that the items in the panel increase/decrease their size a little to use up all the slack space. I tried to change the values that go into the element.Arrange() call but that changes the ListBoxItem's size, but not the size of the control sitting as the item. My listbox has a button in the ItemTemplate. Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks

    Ronnie, I think what you want is to set ListBox.ItemContainerStyle to a Style/TargetType=ListBoxItem with a Setter/HorizontalContentAlignment=Stretch. That'll tell the ListBoxItem wrapper to stretch its content which it sounds like it isn't doing at the moment.
