Shrinking the width size of a button (AddonShellNoTabs Example)

[efeuvejota01]

I am trying to reduce the width of the example button of the example addon.

<Button x:Name="ExampleButton" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" Content="E B" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="25"/>

but it does not reduce from a width of 85...
i removed the content value to a single letter to see if was the width of the content but no.
my guess is that the following line in the xaml file is the responsible for the odd behavior.

xmlns:t="clr-namespace:NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools;assembly=NinjaTrader.Gui"

the screenshots are one with width of 25 and the oder with width of 250
any suggestion?? Thank you very much!!!

Hello efeuvejota01,

You may be able to use MaxWidth however there are other platform styles being applied to the button and the textbox that gets used for the content when using a string. To be able to fully control the properties of a WPF control you would have to set its style to null. The alternative would be to experiment with the Padding, Margin, Width and MaxWidth properties to see if you can find a look which allows the existing theme to display the fixed text smaller without clipping it.

Hello efeuvejota01,

You can use the x:Null in xaml:
