Set Button half the window size in .NET Maui - maui

Question

I'd like to set the size of a button in .NET Maui to take up half of the window size, or some other fraction. I want to have some big buttons, and I can not lie. If I was doing this in html/css, I would set the width to 50%. In .NET Maui, I would think that I would set the widthrequest to 50%. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that because .WidthRequest only takes a double. So, I thought I would get the width of the current window. I try
var width = DeviceDisplay.Current.MainDisplayInfo.Width;
That only seems to return a zero when I try this in windows in debug mode. Googling doesn't seem to be much help. Is there a way to set a button to a width?
TIA

Answer 1

Maui has proportional sizing for grid row and columns. You don't explain where you want your button but you can use multiples of * proportional.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/layouts/grid?view=net-maui-7.0
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="2*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
If you put a button in that middle row then it will be half the width of the grid and central.
Similarly, define 3 columns with * widths and you have a central cell half the width and half the height of the grid.

I test the code and it work well:
<Button                
x:Name="btn"                
Text="btn"/>
double width= DeviceDisplay.Current.MainDisplayInfo.Width/4;    
public MainPage()
{        
InitializeComponent();        
btn.WidthRequest=width; 
}
