Hi everyone, Quick question (I hope)... I have two rectangles on a form and I want to put a lable on the left rectangle. But when I do, I lose my rectangle on the left and it ends up looking like the right rectangle covers the whole window.

I would appreciate any help.

thanks

Here's the code for the left rectangle...

HTML

<window x:class="MainWindow" xmlns:x="#unknown">
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:PrioKat"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="PrioKat" Height="463.309" Width="673.355" BorderThickness="1" ResizeMode="CanMinimize" AllowsTransparency="True" WindowStyle="None">
    <window.background>
        <lineargradientbrush endpoint="0.5,1" startpoint="0.5,0">
            <gradientstop color="Black" offset="0" />
            <gradientstop color="#FF262344" offset="1" />
        </lineargradientbrush>
    </window.background>
    <rectangle fill="#FF08081D" horizontalalignment="Left" margin="-4,0,0,1" stroke="Black" width="151" />
</window>

And this is the right window...

HTML

<window x:class="MainWindow" xmlns:x="#unknown">
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:PrioKat"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="PrioKat" Height="463.309" Width="673.355" BorderThickness="1" ResizeMode="CanMinimize" AllowsTransparency="True" WindowStyle="None">
    <window.background>
        <lineargradientbrush endpoint="0.5,1" startpoint="0.5,0">
            <gradientstop color="Black" offset="0" />
            <gradientstop color="#FF262344" offset="1" />
        </lineargradientbrush>
    </window.background>
    <rectangle fill="#FF08081D" horizontalalignment="Left" margin="-4,0,0,1" stroke="Black" width="151" />
</window>

Here's the code for the left rectangle... (and for reason, you have to click improve solution to see the rest of the code)

    <window.background>
        <lineargradientbrush endpoint="0.5,1" startpoint="0.5,0">
            <gradientstop color="Black" offset="0" />
            <gradientstop color="#FF262344" offset="1" />
        </lineargradientbrush>
    </window.background>
    <rectangle fill="#FF08081D" horizontalalignment="Left" margin="-4,0,0,1" stroke="Black" width="151" />
</window>

And this is the right rectangle...
