You can dock several elements against the same side. In this case, the elements simply
stack up against the side in the order they??™re declared in your markup. And, if you don??™t like
the spacing or the stretch behavior, you can tweak the Margin, HorizontalAlignment, and
VerticalAlignment properties, just as you did with the StackPanel. Here??™s a modified version
of the previous example that demonstrates:

A Stretched Top Button

A Centered Top Button

A Left-Aligned Top Button
Bottom Button
Left Button
Right Button
Remaining Space

The docking behavior is still the same. First the top buttons are docked, then the bottom
button, and finally the remaining space is divided between the side buttons and a final button
in the middle. Figure 4-10 shows the resulting window.

The StackPanel, WrapPanel, and DockPanel are rarely used on their own.
