T:Windows.UI.Xaml.ThicknessHelper |
winrt class |
Provides helper methods to evaluate or set Thickness values. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code should use members of Thickness instead.
Thickness is a Windows Runtime structure that represents a pixel measure applied to the outside (margin) or inside (padding) render dimensions of a rectangular UI element. For example, Border.BorderThickness uses a Thickness value.
ThicknessHelper is one of several Helper classes that are intended to provide utility methods for Windows Runtime structure values. C# and Microsoft Visual Basic code can use members of Thickness instead, because utility members are available directly on the structure due to .NET Framework runtime support. C++ code can only access the data values on Thickness, for example the Top field value. For C++ developers, approximately the same utility features that a Microsoft Visual Basic developer could use directly on Thickness are available in a static form on the ThicknessHelper class.
