I only use Secondary commandbar. So, I want to compress primary's space, When Commandbar pop up. but I can't solve this problem.

Ideal Image, commandbar's height short

<Page.BottomAppBar>
    <CommandBar ClosedDisplayMode="Minimal" Background="Tomato">
        <CommandBar.SecondaryCommands>
            <AppBarButton x:Name="appBarAboutButton" 
                          Label="about"
                          Click="appBarAboutButton_Click"/>
        </CommandBar.SecondaryCommands >
    </CommandBar>
</Page.BottomAppBar>

please tell me how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Currently this is the expected behavior of Command bar and there is no work around for it. But there is a property called Content in Command bar. You can have a go at it to see if it fits your need.

CommandBar has 3 properties you can use to add content and commands: Content, PrimaryCommands, and SecondaryCommands. You can add any XAML elements to the content area by setting the Content property.
