  • See Remarks for additional notes about value constraints.

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Thickness
The amount of space between the content of a Control and its Margin or Border. The default is a thickness of 0 on all four sides.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: PaddingProperty

Negative values for Thickness values are technically permitted, but should be used with caution when setting the Padding property. Negative values will draw the content outside the bounds of the control surface, but could be used in this way for deliberate effect.

Non-integral values of a Thickness for Padding are technically permitted, but should generally be avoided. Non-integral values will introduce subpixel rendering, which can possibly result in antialiasing artifacts.

This property only affects a control whose template uses the Padding property as a parameter. On other controls, this property has no impact.
