How can I make a control (panel, grid, dock) fill an entire window other
than setting height/width properties?

Well, one way would be to add a Dockpanel to the window, and put the
content in that.

The DockPanel should fill the window on its own, unless you've set a
Height or Width.
Try this:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication9.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<DockPanel>
<Button />
</DockPanel>
</Window>
For me, that creates a button which fills the window, even as you
resize.

<DockPanel Name="dockPanel1" HorizontalAlignment="Center"

Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="False">
<Button/>
</DockPanel>
</Window>
Produces a tiny little button. Maybe I'm looking for something that
doesn't exist in WPF because it's not necessary?

Hold the phone, I got it:
<DockPanel Name="dockPanel1" Height="Auto" Width="Auto"
LastChildFill="False" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch" />
Thanks for trying.

I'd axe all the properties you set on the DockPanel, except for the
Name. At the very least, I don't know why you have
Grid.IsSharedSizeScope set at all, since there's no grid on your
window.
What are you trying to do?

Hi Andy,
Ur post solved my question. However, I want my output window to be maximized for the user's convenience. After using the dockpanel control, my contents inside the dockpanel occupy the space as expected but my dockpanel itslef does not occupy the wntire output window.
Dockpanel occupies the central portion of the maximized output window. Can you help me with it?
Thanks,
Rucha
