在UWP中制作固定宽度的网格列和行

Question

I am making an application and I want certain grid rows and columns to be fixed, while others resize to fit the window. My problem is that I cannot do this in Universal Apps.

In WPF, the solution is simple:

<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="50" /> <!-- This row is a fixed height -->
        <RowDefinition Height="*" MinHeight="200" /> <!-- This row is resizeable, but has a minimum height -->
        <RowDefinition Height="100" />
        <RowDefinition Height="20" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="20" /> <!-- This column has a fixed width -->
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="300" /> <!-- These rows are resizeable, but have minimum widths -->
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" MinWidth="300" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="20" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
</Grid>

When I try this in UWP, the rows and columns with fixed sizes resize while the others with asterisks stay fixed. I tried putting asterisks on the fixed rows and columns and removing the pre-existing ones. I thought that in UWP it was reversed, however this severely messed up my app and made it worse.

My solution was to try the following in UWP:

<Grid x:Name="pageGrid"
      Background="White">
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition MaxHeight="20"
                       MinHeight="20"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
        <RowDefinition MaxHeight="20"
                       MinHeight="20"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="20"
                          MinWidth="20"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        <ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="260"
                          MinWidth="260"/>
        <ColumnDefinition MaxWidth="20"
                          MinWidth="20"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
</Grid>

The idea here is to have fixed margins around my controls, at 20 pixels width. Inside these margins there are two boxes: One has a fixed width and resizable height, and the other resizes in both directions.

Despite this, I again experienced the same problem where the margins resize but the 'resizable' boxes do not.

Is there actually a way to have fixed and resizeable rows and columns in a grid using Universal Windows Platform? So far, i have yet to find evidence of this.

This code is intended to have extra rows and columns as margins around the main controls. These should be fixed at 20 pixels. When I run the code the margins stretch and the central boxes stay fixed; this is the opposite of what I intended:

(The black outlined area stays the same size when the window is resized while the margins stretch to fit the window.)

Answer 1

Your main Grid is fixed at 800 x 450 px. If you remove that restriction, the grid will stretch appropriately

Updated code:

<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"
      MinWidth="800"
      MinHeight="450">
    <Grid x:Name="pageGrid"
