StackPanel.SetStretched(Control, Boolean) Method

Forces the control lying on the stack panel to occupy the entire free space available in this panel. The size of a stretched control cannot exceed this control’s MaximumSize. The control is strethed in the direction that matches the panel orientation (i.e., vertically for TopDown and BottomUp panels).
