How to make UIContainerAdv fit custom control

Hello,

I'm developing a rich text editor with some interesting features. Is there any way to let UIContainerAdv's size fit my custom control automatically? Specifically, i only need the UIContainerAdv's width to fit my code-generated text. My custom control is quite simple. It's only include a button and two textblock side-by-side. I guarantee that all contents could rendered in one line.

thanks

Guangy, we are validating the process of changing the UIContainerAdv size based on its child elements as per your requirement. We will complete the validation and update you with the details on or before August 13, 2024.

Guangy, as promised earlier, we have included the fix for the reported bug with “UIContainerAdv size remains unchanged when modified at runtime” in our latest weekly NuGet release (v26.2.11).

Root cause of the issue:
When Width and Height are set in the backend, the WidthChanged and HeightChanged events are triggered, and the width and height are updated. However, no relayout takes place. Consequently, the UI elements retain their previous values, and no visible changes are reflected at the UI level.

The status of this bug task can be tracked through the below link:
UIContainerAdv size remains unchanged when modified at runtime

UIContainerAdv is simply a node that contains details such as height, width, and a UI element. It is not an element that is preserved at the UI level. The UIElement you mentioned in UIContainerAdv will alone be rendered in SfRichTextBoxAdv, which will be shown at the UI level. The height and width specified in UIContainerAdv are used, ignoring the height and width of the UIElement.

So, even if the UIElement's dimensions are larger than those of the UIContainerAdv, only the dimensions of UIContainerAdv will be used during rendering.

To adapt the sizes of UIContainerAdv to the UIElement, set the size of the UIElement to match the height and width of UIContainerAdv.

We have created a sample application where UIContainerAdv contains a StackPanel with two TextBlocks and buttons in it. In the SizeChanged event of the StackPanel, we have assigned the height and width of the StackPanel to the UIContainerAdv, so that UIContainerAdv fits the custom control.

We have also prepared a sample application for your reference. Please refer to the attached application for more information.
