ClipToBounds ... how does it work

Question

I have a stackpanel where clipToBounds is set to false.. I have some items in the stackpanel where I animate the scale value ..

But they get clipped by the stackpanels height when the get larger than the SP height .. shouldent clipTobounds fix this or what Am I doing wrong ??

<StackPanel Width="500" Height="200" ClipToBounds="False" Orientation="Horizontal" Background="Transparent" x:Name="SP"></StackPanel>

Answer 1

You probably need to scale using a RenderTransform.

 

A scale applied to the layout (LayoutTransform or setting Width/Height too large) will effectively be clipped by the layout process - which I dont think you can avoid.

Answer 2

Right - ClipToBounds="true" will apply an explicit clip, but ClipToBounds="false" doesn't prevent the underlying layout system from applying a clip when it determines that the child is larger than the parent.

Answer 3

I have the same problem, I have a use where if I simplify it, it's basically a bunch of horizontal stack panels organised vertically inside a parent stack panel, each child stack panel is to contain rectangles of varying size, almost all being a height larger than the stack panel. I don't want the par

Canvas is one control that honors the property, though it seems no other containers seem to honor it. What's an alternative to my problem mentioned above?
