TableControl does not adhere height limitations of grid row

TomGeo

When i put a TableControl into a grid row, then it doesn't matter if I set the row height to 'Auto' or '*'. The TableControl, only obeys its own MaxHeight property.

The result is that everything within the ArcGIS Pro Pane gets a vertical scrollbar. That includes the toolbar component at the top, all the components between the toolbar and the TableControl, etc. In addition the TableControl stretches unlimited, not obeying to any limitations and pushing the following rows of the grid almost out of reach, depending on the feature count of the table visualized.

If I set the MaxHeight property of the TableControl component then I am running into problems with its RowContextMenu. In case the TableControl stretches, producing the scrollbar, then a right click on a row makes the RowContextMenu jump a couple of lines down, selecting a different feature than the user was aiming for.

How can I limit the TableControl to the space available, without setting an absolute height?

I tried this as well and found that this works for me as it did for Narelle.  I used this as the xaml definition in an attempt to duplicate your issue:

                                 Content="3" />
			</Grid>
		</GroupBox>
	</Grid>
</UserControl>

When I run the add-in i get this output, which is resizable with no problems:

As you can see the scroll bars were automatically added to the table control.  There was no need to specify Max Width/Height.   Hopefully this is working for you now as well.
