How to determine the width of content or size a container to content
- by ISVK
My goal is to display the entire contents of a FlowDocument (that is, without paginating) in a column layout. It would have a fixed height, but the width would depend on the contents of the FlowDocument.
My problem is: FlowDocumentReader does not automatically resize to the contents of the FlowDocument. As you see in my XAML below, FlowDocumentReader.Width is 5000 units (just a large number that can accommodate most documents) -- when I make it Auto, it just clips to the width of the ScrollViewer and paginates my stuff!
Is there a proper way of solving this problem?
I also made a screenshot of what this looks like now, but the ScrollViewer scrolls past the end of the document in most cases: http://i.imgur.com/3FSRl.png

HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"

<FlowDocumentReader x:Name="flowDocReader"
ClipToBounds="False"
Width="5000"

<FlowDocument x:Name="flowDoc"
