When resizing the window we have to do something like

m_view->SetSize( this->width(), this->height() );

Is it possible for a xaml or a data model to access these values?

Tried something like

"{Binding Source={x:Static SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidth}}"

as found on StackOverflow but that's probably just WPF like.

Storing the pointer to the data model somewhere global works but doesn't feel elegant.

Xaml root element fills by default the avaliable space specified in view->SetSize(), so you can bind to root ActualWidth and ActualHeight if you need that info from the xaml:

<Grid
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  x:Name="Root">
  ...
  <Rectangle
    Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=Root}"
    Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=Root}" .../>
  ...
</Grid>

Could that work for you?

That works, thanks. The reason I want this is that I have

<Viewbox>
	<Grid x:Name="GameGrid" Width="{Binding WindowWidth}" Height="{Binding WindowHeight}">
...

just below the root element. So when these values are set smaller than the actual window size it can be use to scale the entire gui.
So I solved that now by feeding the window size into the view model, multiply it with the scaling factor and supply the binding.

Now that I see that it is possible to get from the xaml I need to find out how to multiply that with the scaling factor.

You can use converters for this although I think that the idea of doing the maths in code-behind and exposing them in the data context is not necessarily bad.
