I have this kind of element:

On my form i have a stack panel:
<StackPanel x:Name="TestStack"/>
My element stretches horizontaly, but i want it also to automattically stretch vertically, example:
Element is 200x200 px, so if stack panel is 1000px width, than element resizes to 1000x1000px
How to achieve this?
I could do it like:
CustomElement CE = new CustomElement();
CE.Heigth = TestStack.Width; //But width isn't set, because it is HorizontalAligment=Stretch
I solved this adding a SizeChanged event to my UserControl
<UserControl x:Class="MyUserControl"
SizeChanged="UserControl_SizeChanged">
<!-- ... -->
and setting Height while changing the Width.
private void UserControl_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (Math.Abs(e.NewSize.Width - e.PreviousSize.Width) > 0)
Height = e.NewSize.Width;
}

I'm trying to get my ItemsControl to expand to fit the grid column it is in.
This is what I'm trying to get:
This is what I'm actually getting:
I've tried StackPanel, ViewBox, WrapControl from Microsoft.ToolKit.Uwp.Controls and setting HorizontalAlignment to stretch.
I've tried converting it to a ListView.

What you want is an equivalent of the WPF UniformGrid, which divides its client area evenly among its children: Set Rows="1" and it arrange the children horizontally:
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<somens:UniformGrid Rows="1" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
Here is a frequently-recommended UWP implementation of UniformGrid.
I am trying to get this seemingly simple scenario to work.
I have a ContentControl MyControl, and I would like one of it's elements to overflow on top of the ContentPresenter while remaining an element of a border.

I have tried playing with Canvas.ZIndex but I cannot get this particular scenario to work. Just to re-iterate, I would like the gold rectangle to overflow over all of the content in the ContentPresenter, but I would like the border and two squares to remain as they are.
Edit: The source for this project is here if anybody s interested in playing with it.
So you want the middle rectangle to be a part of your border but it should go out of the border bounds?
For this you can only use negative Margin.
In order to overlay the content you border should be the second child of the the parents Grid.
sumarizing everithing we have:
<Style TargetType="local:MyControl">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="local:MyControl">
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="100" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ContentPresenter Grid.Row="1" />
<Border
Grid.Row="0"
BorderBrush="GreenYellow"
BorderThickness="1">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="2*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Rectangle
Grid.Column="0"
Width="50"
Height="50"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Fill="Silver" />
<!--Pay attention to Margin="0,0,0,-100"-->
<Rectangle
x:Name="Overflow"
Grid.Column="1"
Width="100"
Height="200"
Margin="0,0,0,-100"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Fill="Gold" />
<Rectangle
Grid.Column="2"
Width="50"
Height="50"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
Fill="Silver" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
Hacky workaround I came up with - problem is the rectangle is no longer part of the border and as such can't be easily laid out with respect to the border.

I'm developing a custom ListBox item template and so far wrote this code:

I want to make this ListBoxItem 200 px, but all content - rubber ( to support both orientations )
When i try to change d:DesignHeight="480" d:DesignWidth="480" to 200px it makes the ListBoxItem 200px but text dissapers...
What am i doing wrong?
You need to reverse the column definitions:
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
This way right column will have fixed size since it is automatically resized to accommodate the Image control with fixed width. And the first column will now always stretch to use all space.
However, this is not enough. Each individual list box item has its own width. To ensure that each item has maximum width, use the following code:
<ListBo>
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
</Style>
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
</ListBox>
Ive created a simple usercontrol and even though the app runs ok applying the template to
I am defining the Control Template here

</UserControl>
My page where the user control is being used and the page where the AG E UNKOWN_ERROR occurs.
If I remove applying the template from test.xaml and remove the Template="{StaticResource myWindowTemplate}" the error goes away, so I know its something BAD in my template definition?

I think you need a TargetType="Grid" on your <ControlTemplate>:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="myWindowTemplate TargetType="Grid">
....
Also, Grid isn't a ContentControl so I don't think the ContentPresenter you put in the template will behave the way you expect - it could even be causing the error.
Actually, from the code you've posted, your TargetType should be Button because you're applying the template to button.
