just wrap your controls in a grid with two rows. The grid will automatically use all space given to it and you can define the rows to take up all space left by giving them a height of "*". The first row in my example (Height="Auto") will take as much space as needed by the ribbon. Hope that helps.

By adding the "Grid.Row=.." attribute to child controls of the grid they get assigned to rows of the grid. Then the grid will size it's children as defined by the row definitions.
