I have a vertical gridsplitter, but I get an horizontal one instead. here is my XAML
<GroupBox Header="Phase Management">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="5"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="70*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="30*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Button>Test column 0</Button>
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1" Width="5" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Background="#FFFFFF" ResizeBehavior="PreviousAndNext"/>
<Button Grid.Column="2">Test column 2</Button>
</Grid>
</GroupBox>
in the grid I have a stack panel, a data grid and some text boxes. Any idea of why I'm having the wrong behavior?
Try to add additional properties like
<GridSplitter Grid.Column="1"
ResizeDirection="Columns"
ResizeBehavior="PreviousAndNext"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
for the direction (in your case "Columns") and for the behavior (in the example for resizing in both directions, left and right).
