Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Thickness
A Thickness structure that specifies the amount of padding to apply.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: PaddingProperty

In XAML, Padding can be specified in the following ways:

  • As a single value that specifies uniform space in all directions (Padding="10").

  • As two values that specify horizontal and vertical dimensions (Padding="10,5").

  • As four values that represent left, top, right, and bottom padding independently (Padding="5,0,10,20").

For more information, see the Thickness class description.

If a specified padding thickness exceeds the corresponding content area dimension (for example, the sum of the left and right padding widths exceeds the content area width), the thickness of the padding is proportionally reduced to be no greater than the relevant content area dimension.
