WPF Window - Only allow horizontal resize

Question

I want to only allow my WPF window to be resized horizontally. How best can I achieve this?

Answer 1

If you want to use the MinHeight and MaxHeight approach but still allow the window to automatically size itself to fit the size of its content:

<Window x:Class="MyWindow"         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"         SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight"         ResizeMode="CanResize"         Loaded="window_Loaded"> 

In code-behind:

private void window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {     this.MinWidth = this.ActualWidth;     this.MinHeight = this.ActualHeight;     this.MaxHeight = this.ActualHeight; } 

Answer 2

If you set the MinHeight and MaxHeight attributes of the window to the desired height the window will have a fixed height
