AnimatedExpander keeps Width after being collapsed

Hello,

I am using the AnimatedExpander with a content that is wider than the containing scroll viewer. So a horizontal scroll bar appears when I fill the content on expanding. When I collapse the AnimatedExpander the scroll bar doesn't change, as if the content was still visible. I believe that the AnimatedExpander retains its width even when collapsed.

I can evade this problem by binding the Visibility of the content to the IsExpanded of the AnimatedExpander.

Still I wonder if this is an issue of the AnimatedExpander or is there maybe a way to force the AnimatedExpander to use its Header for Width when it is not expanded?

<ScrollViewer HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" CanContentScroll="False" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<StackPanel>
<shared:AnimatedExpander Header="myHeader">
<Grid ...

Any hints are most welcome.

Hi Martin,

When I did a simple repro, I saw it initially collapsed to the content's width, which does look correct based on how the AnimatedExpanderDecorator (the main piece that supports the animations within the AnimatedExpander) is coded.  It is designed to keep a consistent width regardless of whether the expander is collapsed or expanded.  The only way to get it to stop that behavior would be to do as you said and alter the visibility of the content.

Thank you for clarifying! I can live with that.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.2) was released 1 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
