The WinUI 3 Gallery app includes interactive examples of most WinUI 3 controls, features, and functionality. Get the app from the Microsoft Store or get the source code on GitHub.
The following example shows what happens when you change the StretchDirection and Stretch properties of a Viewbox. The example includes three Viewbox controls that have different sizes. The same image is displayed in the Viewbox controls so that you can compare the differences. You can manipulate the stretching and scaling of the image by clicking the buttons that correspond to the values for the Stretch and StretchDirection enumerations.
