Canvas.Top Attached Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets or sets the distance between the top of an element and the top of its parent Canvas.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
See GetTop, SetTop
See GetTop, SetTop
<object Canvas.Top="double"/>

Property Value

Type: System.Double
The offset position from the top of a parent Canvas, in pixels. The default is 0.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: TopProperty

Negative values are permitted. A negative value places the origin of the element where Canvas.Top is applied off-screen to the top side of the content area.

This property is an example of an attached property, whereby non-Canvas objects can set this property that can then be read and interpreted by a parent Canvas. For more information about attached properties, see Attached Properties Overview.

The value is interpreted by any immediate parent Canvas. If there are nested canvas elements, values for Canvas.Top that do not come from immediate child elements are ignored. A Canvas can itself have a Canvas.Top value, but the value does not apply on itself, rather it is interpreted by any parent Canvas, as in the nested scenario mentioned.
