I am wondering how to draw beyond the boundaries of the standard WPF tab control? I have tried the various ClipToBounds settings and inserted my control within a canvas, which has worked for me with a grid in the past. Sample XAML:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" x:Class="MainWindow"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<TabControl HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="50" Margin="90,31,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100">
<Canvas Margin="10,26,-10,-26">
<Ellipse Width="25" Height="25" Fill="Red" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0"></Ellipse>
</Canvas>
</TabControl>
</Grid>
This is an old post, but this answer solved the problem for me. You can use this template and just change the Grid's ClipsToBounds to False. https://zamjad.wordpress.com/2010/05/05/use-different-panel-in-tab-control/

I have a UWP application, I have added a button but when I debug the application, I can't see the button. If I add a texblock or textBox I can see them, but not the button.
I have set IsEnabled to true and visibility to visible but I am not able to solve the problem.
Also I have tried to click in the place where it should be the button but nothing happens.
This happens when I debug in local machine and when I debug in a emulator of windows phone 10.
Thank you so much.
EDIT: the axml code

<Grid Background="Transparent">
<Button x:Name="GetVideos" IsEnabled="True" Visibility="Visible" Background="Aquamarine" Content="Buscar Videos" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="120,98,0,510" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Click="button_Click"/>
<TextBlock x:Name="textBlock" Foreground="BlueViolet" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="101,59,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBlock" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="34" Width="132"/>
<TextBox x:Name="textBox" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="213,59,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Grid>
</Page>
The margin you set for the Button is too aggressive. The object is now "squeezed". For example set Margin to "120,98,0,200" (or simply "120,98") instead of "120,98,0,510" and it should be visible.
BTW using hardcoded margins to setup the user interface is probably not a good idea. Use for example the Grid with columns and rows instead of margins.
I've got a Stackpanel which is set to horizontal orientation and Horizontal alighment is set to Stretch. Inside it I've got two elements: 1. TextBlocks 2. Image. I want the 2nd one to display on extreme right.
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<TextBlock>Hello World</TextBlock>
<Image Height="100" Width="100" />
</StackPanel>
How do I accomplish it?
You almost had it.
<Grid>
<TextBlock>Hello World</TextBlock>
<Image Height="100" Width="100" HorizontalAlignment="Right" />
</Grid>
Just don't use a StackPanel.
// Best of luck!
I fat fingered something when hitting debug and now I am stuck in this view.
Ive never seen it before, have no idea how I did it and would LOVE to know how to undo it.
Mind you this is a Windows Phone 8 app.

Sometimes the Blend or Visual Studio 2012/2013 Designer can go wacky like that. You can do one of two things:
Close and Reopen the XAML page
Shut down and reopen Visual Studio
Usually the first option fixes it for me, but the second one always does.
Happy coding!
Visual Studio 2012 Project with memory leak
Hello!
I've found a memory leak when using Interaction Triggers in the MVVM Light Toolkit.
I use this xaml
<UserControl x:Class="MemoryLeakTest.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:ignore="http://www.ignore.com"
mc:Ignorable="d ignore"
xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"
xmlns:mvvm="clr-namespace:GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Command;assembly=GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Extras.SL5"
x:Name="control"
DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource Locator}}">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding LeakObjects}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Border Width="300" BorderThickness="6" BorderBrush="BlueViolet" CornerRadius="3">
<Grid Background="{Binding ColorBrush}" >
<StackPanel>
<Button Command="{Binding ElementName=control, Path=DataContext.Command}" Width="100" Height="40" Content="Tryck!">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
<mvvm:EventToCommand Command="{Binding ElementName=control, Path=DataContext.Command}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Button>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}"/>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</Border>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Grid>
and then i rebind the list LeakObjects so that it creates new items.
The old items (xaml) like buttons and text blocks are still in memory and doesn't GC.
If I write
<Button Command="{Binding ElementName=control, Path=DataContext.Command}" Width="100" Height="40" Content="Press!"/>
and use the buttons Command parameter there is no memory leak but if I use the
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
<mvvm:EventToCommand Command="{Binding ElementName=control, Path=DataContext.Command}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
there is a major leak.
The problem is that there are no Command parameters on grids etc.
The project in the link has this very simple project demonstrating the problem.
Is there a way to circumvent the memory leak? Maybe I'm using it wrong.
It is crucial that I find a way to fix this because this memory leak is all over our application.
I've experienced this leak as well. I've solved it by not using the EventToCommands and rather using just plain event handlers and calling the commands from these methods in page code-behind. It's not that clean, but it works and the page is Garbage Collected as expected.
Or you could use InvokeCommandAction instead, works for me.

My ListBox is databound to 2 fields. The first is left aligned which is fine, the problem is with the second one which has to be right aligned. I tried using TextAlignment ="Right" and also HorizontalAlignment="Right", none of them worked.
Here is a sample code:
<ListBox x:Name="_listBox">
<ListBox.DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,4,8,0">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ContainerNumber}" />
<TextBlock TextAlignment="Right" Text="{Binding Path=Content}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ListBox.DataTemplate>
Any ideas?
Add to the StackPanel markup:
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,4,8,0">
This problem is that the StackPanel isn't using all the width available because it is by default aligned Left horizontally.
EDIT: Alternatively you need to style ListBoxItems:
<ListBox.Resources>
<Style x:Key="{x:Type ListBoxItem}" TargetType="{x:Type ListBoxItem}">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
</Style>
</ListBox.Resources>
Hope this helps.
