Hi Jerry,

Ribbon TextBoxes by design only render labels in a StackPanel (I believe the StackPanel actually is what draws it) and are not meant to be stretchable. They are designed to work through variant sizes as a containing Ribbon is sized larger or smaller.

You have a lot of properties in your code sample that the ribbon controls will not work well with. Note that if you are trying to add a label to a TextBox and have the ribbonish style, just use a normal Label or TextBlock control for the label portion and use a regular WPF TextBox. We provide ribbon-like styles you can apply to native controls such as TextBox. See our "Styles for Core WPF Controls" QuickStart for a sample.
