Grid

Grid arranges children into rows and columns using explicit GridCell entries (no attached properties).

Grid

Basic usage

new Grid()
    .Columns(
        new ColumnDefinition { Width = GridLength.Auto },
        new ColumnDefinition { Width = GridLength.Star() })
    .Rows(
        new RowDefinition { Height = GridLength.Auto },
        new RowDefinition { Height = GridLength.Auto })
    .Cell("Name:", row: 0, column: 0)
    .Cell(new TextBox("Alex"), row: 0, column: 1);

Star sizing

GridLength.Star(weight) divides the remaining bounded space by weight.

Auto tracks measure to content first.
Star tracks start from their mins on bounded axes, then divide the remaining space by weight.
Child natural size does not bias the ratio unless min/max constraints force it to.
On bounded axes, a grid with Star tracks still reports the bounded allocated width as its natural size, so start-aligned parents do not collapse star layouts down to the tracks' minimum widths.

new Grid()
    .Columns(
        new ColumnDefinition { Width = GridLength.Star(2) },
        new ColumnDefinition { Width = GridLength.Star(1) })
    .Rows(new RowDefinition { Height = GridLength.Star(1) })
    .Cell(leftPane, row: 0, column: 0)
    .Cell(rightPane, row: 0, column: 1);

FlexStar sizing

Use GridLength.FlexStar(weight) when you want a flexible track that preserves child natural size before sharing extra space by weight.

FlexStar is content-aware.
It is useful for layouts where intrinsic content width should matter, but the track should still grow when extra space exists.

Spans

Cells can span multiple rows/columns via rowSpan / columnSpan.

Defaults

Default alignment: HorizontalAlignment = Align.Stretch, VerticalAlignment = Align.Stretch
