"Pro WPF with VB 2008: Windows Presentation Foundation with .NET 3.5"
These include panels that are dedicated to holding the child items of a particular control??”such as TabPanel (the tabs in a TabControl), ToolbarPanel (the buttons in a Toolbar), and ToolbarOverflowPanel (the commands in a Toolbar??™s overflow menu). There??™s also a VirtualizingStackPanel, which databound list controls use to minimize their overhead, and an InkCanvas, which is similar to the Canvas but has support for handling stylus input on the TabletPC. (For example, depending on the mode you choose, the InkCanvas supports drawing with the pointer to select onscreen elements. And although it??™s a little counterintuitive, you can use the InkCanvas with an ordinary computer and a mouse.) Simple Layout with the StackPanel The StackPanel is one of the simplest layout containers. It simply stacks its children in a single row or column. For example, consider this window, which contains a stack of three buttons: xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Layout" Height="223" Width="354" >
