StretchDirection Enumeration

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Describes how scaling applies to content and restricts scaling to named axis types.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
public enum StretchDirection
<object property="enumerationMemberName" .../>
Member nameDescription
UpOnlyThe content scales upward only when it is smaller than the parent. If the content is larger, no scaling downward is performed.
DownOnlyThe content scales downward only when it is larger than the parent. If the content is smaller, no scaling upward is performed.
BothThe content stretches to fit the parent according to the Stretch mode.

The following example shows how to create an instance of Viewbox and set the StretchDirection of content by using code.



// Create a Viewbox and add it to the Canvas
myViewbox = new Viewbox();
myViewbox.StretchDirection = StretchDirection.Both;
myViewbox.Stretch = Stretch.Fill;
myViewbox.MaxWidth = 400;
myViewbox.MaxHeight = 400;
