How maximize button on full window.
how to stretch the button vertically?

If the Label is contained in a TablePane (even if the Label is contained in
a BoxPane w/c is contained by the TablePane), the column where it is located
should have a width or 1*, it won't work if it's -1

If you're using table panes with only 1 row and column, then perhaps you
don't need them at all - can you send a snippet of WTKX so we can have a
look at your specific case?

BoxPane actually used to support that behavior, but it was refactored out in Pivot 1.3 since it was superfluous (TablePane is a better way to achieve this type of layout).

How about a BoxPane that fills both vertically and horizontally? The same as
a TablePane with 1* width column and a couple of 1* height row.
Right now in my code, I have lots of TablePane code, I was hoping if there's
a better way.

If you want the button to take up the whole space of the window, you could
just set it as the content of the window:
<Window title="Menus" maximized="true" xmlns:wtkx="
http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx"
xmlns:content="org.apache.pivot.wtk.content"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<content>
<PushButton buttonData="Press me"/>
</content>
</Window>

I'd use a horizontal BoxPane with the "fill" style set to true:
<Window title="Menus" maximized="true" xmlns:wtkx="
http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx"
xmlns:content="org.apache.pivot.wtk.content"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<content>
<BoxPane orientation="horizontal" styles="{fill:true,
backgroundColor: '#FFFF00'}">
<PushButton buttonData="Press me"/>
</BoxPane>
</content>
</Window>

The components in the row will be as wide as their column. To get a column
to take up the available space in the table pane, use a relative width.
For example, this table pane's sole column has a relative width of 1 (1*),
meaning it'll take up all the available space of the table pane. As such,
the button takes up all of that width.
<Window title="Menus" maximized="true" xmlns:wtkx="
http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx"
xmlns:content="org.apache.pivot.wtk.content"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<content>
<TablePane styles="{backgroundColor: '#FFFF00'}">
<columns>
<TablePane.Column width="1*"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<TablePane.Row height="-1">
<PushButton buttonData="Press me"/>
</TablePane.Row>
</rows>
</TablePane>
</content>
</Window>
But in the following example, we change the column's width to be default
(-1), meaning that it's only as wide as it needs to be. As such, the column
is just wide enough to give the button its preferred width.
<Window title="Menus" maximized="true" xmlns:wtkx="
http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx"
xmlns:content="org.apache.pivot.wtk.content"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<content>
<TablePane styles="{backgroundColor: '#FFFF00'}">
<columns>
<TablePane.Column width="-1"/>
</columns>
<rows>
<TablePane.Row height="-1">
<PushButton buttonData="Press me"/>
</TablePane.Row>
</rows>
</TablePane>
</content>
</Window>
I'd check out the not-yet-public table pane tutorial at
http://incubator.apache.org/pivot/1.3/tutorials/table_panes.html for more
info.
Hope that helps,
