Is it possible to set a max number of horizontal squares?

[jpgarza93]

Thanks a lot for working on this project. I am trying to achieve building a dashboard in WPF like Asana's new dashboard creator. It pretty much already works like that with the exception of restricting the number of horizontal squares and making them stretch.

Asana.com does this pretty well I think:

Yes, it is possible. You'll probably want to do all that work inside DashboardHost.xaml.cs:
https://github.com/DustinBryant/WpfDashboardControl/blob/master/WpfDashboardControl/Resources/DashboardControl/DashboardHost.xaml.cs

That's the bulk of the logic incorporated with the dashboard. You'll probably want to look where columns are being set up or appended to and put some limit in there.

@jpgarza93 have you done it? Can you please tell me how you did it?

@padovanl I did it (take a look here)

I used my own approach. using Grid for columns and StackPanel for rows.

I created a hierarchy:

Dashboard
(contains) --> Rows
(contains) --> Columns
(contains) --> Widgets

Then created predefined sizes. I got inspired by Asana's dashboard and the WordPress Divi builder tool.

I might be able to share the project but it might take me some time to extract it. Else, maybe I can help and guide you a bit.
