[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Returns a value that indicates whether the element that is associated with this ItemAutomationPeer is laid out in a specific direction. This method is called by GetOrientation.
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
If the item is a UIElement with its own peer as reported by Owner, then information from that peer is forwarded. Next, the container peer (which could be ItemsControlAutomationPeer, ListBoxAutomationPeer, or another class) is used as a possible source. Finally, if there is no container peer, then this method returns a context-aware empty string.
