EmptySpaceItem Class

Adds whitespace to a UI.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Docking

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Docking

Declaration

C#

public class EmptySpaceItem :
    FixedItem

VB.NET

Public Class EmptySpaceItem
    Inherits FixedItem

Remarks

An EmptySpaceItem provides whitespace, similar to the Margin property. But unlike a margin, an EmptySpaceItem object is not bound to a specific UI element. Structurally, an EmptySpaceItem is an independent rectangle with invisible bounds that has its own height and width.

To add an Empty Space Item via code, place a new instance of the EmptySpaceItem class into the DockLayoutManager.Items collection.
