Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Visual Basic (Usage)
C#
C++/CLI

<CategoryAttribute("Common Properties")>
Public Property CascadingSpace As Double

Dim instance As UXDesktop
Dim value As Double
 
instance.CascadingSpace = value
 
value = instance.CascadingSpace

[CategoryAttribute("Common Properties")]
public double CascadingSpace {get; set;}

[CategoryAttribute("Common Properties")]
public:
property double CascadingSpace {
   double get();
   void set (    double value);
}

Remarks

When the WindowStartupLocation property in UXWindow set to Auto, the desktop manager first checks for the Left and Top property of the window. If an exact location is not specified, the desktop manager automatically calculates the position from the last shown window and position the window cascaded against the previous position. The cascading space can be customized through CascadingSpace property.

Example

The following example shows how to customize the default space between windows through the CascadingSpace property.

XAML

<Intersoft:UXDesktop Name="desktops" CascadingSpace="150">
    <Intersoft:UXWindow x:Name="wnd1" Header="UXWindow1 Title" IsActive="True" WindowStartupLocation="Auto">
        <Grid>
            <TextBlock Text="Content for UXWindow1"/>
        </Grid>
    </Intersoft:UXWindow>
    
    <Intersoft:UXWindow x:Name="wnd2" Header="UXWindow2 Title" IsClientVisible="True" WindowStartupLocation="Auto">
