Hai all,
I have a very simple question.I want my RichTextBox to be in the size of my mainwindow.Please have a look at my code:

VB

Class MainWindow


    Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Loaded
        RichTextBox1.Width = Me.Width : RichTextBox1.Height = Me.Height
    End Sub
End Class

Her all works fine when the window loads,but when I maximize it the size of the textbox do not change.It's size remains same that is the the size of the window when it was loaded.In Winforms,I used to fix this by assigning its Anchor to Top,Bottom,Left,Right.But in WPF I don't find such a property.Anyone kindly please solve my problem!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Mike!I got it done!
In window size changed event,I made it like this:

VB

Private Sub MainWindow_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.SizeChangedEventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
       If WindowState = WindowState.Maximized Then
           txt.Width = Windows.WindowState.Maximized
           txt.Height = Me.ActualHeight : txt.Width = Me.ActualWidth
       End If

   End Sub

It's working fine!

Handle the SizeChanged event with the same code?

VB

Private Sub Window_SizeChanged(sender As Object, e As SizeChangedEventArgs)

End Sub

No,again the problem occurs?!
My new code is:
Private Sub MainWindow_SizeChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.SizeChangedEventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
If WindowState.Maximized Then
txt.Width = Me.Width - 15 : txt.Height = Me.Height
End If

End Sub
