I am using Visual Studio 15. I am unable to view the entire width of the property page and hence the scroll bar on the right and property buttons on the right. I have dragged the page horizontally as far as it will go. Are there any options that will solve this? I already looked in Fonts and Colors.
My Windows text is 170% of the default normal size which is probably responsible for this but I need text this size because of my eyes.

I've recently switched over to portrait screens for development so want to make more use of my vertical screen realestate.
But I can't figure out how to get Visual Studio to use more space for the toolbar.
As you can see in the image below there are lots of 'overflow' glyphs on the right, because there isn't enough space to show all the buttons. Want I want is to add extra vertical height (2x or 3x) so that I can show more buttons. Worse than that, it's hiding almost entire toolbar sections.
Doh I worked it out. There is a small resizing 'grab' icon on the left of each toolbar. You can drag that to put it on a new line. I blame the dark theme for not letting me see it :)
As for the vertical space for the toolbar, I still can't figure out how to wrap one toolbar across multiple lines. I'm guessing you can't.
Solved (see my comment):
With the setting tools : [] in the Editor configuration, the editor displays no tools in the toolbar area, as expected, but the toolbar area does not collapse, and remains the same height as if there were tool icons being displayed. Is there a way to shrink the (empty) toolbar height using CSS?
P.S. The text content must remain editable. I'm not looking for a way to make it "read only".
I have a StackPanel in ScrollViewer with many TextBlock+TextBox (so on the screen I see same scrolling list view like in phone's standard Settings page).
In VS's or Blend's designer is it any simple way to see controls which are bellow the bottom of screen? (I need some kind of scrolling in designer). It must be something simple. Now I am switching off visibility of upper controls to see lower controls and it is boring.
Change the d:DesignHeight to a larger value, such as 2000 (the maximum height), and Expression Blend will allow you to see content that otherwise would require scrolling.

I have a tab control in my main page. When I have it in the Design view in Visual Studio, everything looks perfect, the tab control is set to fill the entire page. However when I run the program, and I have it in a maximized browser window, the tab control is still the same size as it originally was. In other words, the tab control does not resize proportionally to the browser window resize.
So I was wondering if there was a way to change a setting on my tab control or maybe some code that would force the tab control to resize along with the browser window?

Ok, so after tinkering with this for the last couple days, I've finally found the answer. I feel like a rookie for not doing this sooner, but I got to looking at the title bar on the top of the page and noticed that it stretched across the screen when the browser window was maximized and when it was resized, the title bar shrunk to fit. So I looked at the properties of the title bar and saw that it's horizontal/vertical alignment was set to "stretch." I know, it's a rookie mistake, but it just never occurred to me that "stretch" was an option in the alignment property.
Long story short, change the horizontal alignment property to "stretch," vertical alignment property to "stretch," and then set the height property of the control to "auto" and the width property to "auto" and you've got yourself an auto-resized control.
SketchFlow allows for the changing of the Height property for the TextBox and ListBox controls. However, I seem to be unable to change the Height property for a ComboBox. The Height property can be changed in the Properties window but it has no effect (at design or run time).
You shuold open sketchstyles.xaml in notepad or visual studio. Then find the style for combobox-sketch. You will find 2 places(once in outermost grid definition and another in the end) of min-height in the style, set them both to what you want.
Are you sure you have the combobox item selected in the Objects and Timeline panel? I tried this and it works fine for me. Are you able to resize it using the mouse and adorners?
