        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="300" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

    <Rectangle x:Name="Rect"
               Fill="Blue"
               Height="50"
               VerticalAlignment="Center"
               HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>

    <TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=Rect, Path=ActualWidth}"
               Foreground="White"
               FontWeight="Bold"/>

    <GridSplitter Grid.Column="1"
                  MinWidth="2"
                  HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                  VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                  Background="#D3D3D3"/>

    <orc:Expander Name="MyExpander"
                  Header="Header"
                  Grid.Column="2"
                  ExpandDirection="Left"
                  AutoResizeGrid="True"
                  IsExpanded="True"
