Vista - reduce padding in StackPanel

08-25-2007

I have the following stackpanel:

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" >
<Label Content="Line1" />
<Label Content="Line2" />
</StackPanel>

Problem is, there is too much vertical space in between the 2 labels. Is
there any way to reduce the space or padding? Ideally I want Line2 to move a
little closer to Line1 by a few pixels.

thanks.

It's not padding, it's margins.

Use a negative "top" margin on the second Label.

<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical" >
<Label Content="Line1" />
<Label Content="Line2" Margin="0,-8,0,0" />
</StackPanel>

HTH,
