Public Property UnitType As LengthUnitType
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| LengthUnitType | Star |
A LengthUnitType enumerator value that specifies the way a StackGroup‘s, RowDefinition‘s or ColumnDefinition‘s length is measured.
|
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Pixel |
The Length.UnitValue property value is the number of pixels that a StackGroup occupies.
| | Star |
The Length.UnitValue property value is the relative length multiplier.
|
The UnitType property can equal either LengthUnitType.Pixel or LengthUnitType.Star. Pixel-measured Stack Groups/Rows/Columns are given the precise length specified via the Length.UnitValue property. Star-measured Groups/Rows/Columns are resized dynamically, depending on the available free space. In this case, the UnitValue property value is a relative length multiplier, specifying how much this Group is wider or narrower than other star-measured Groups. See the Widget View topic for the details.
