-xaml-values

uniform

uniformA value measured by pixels that specifies a uniform Thickness. The uniform value is applied to all four Thickness values (Left, Top, Right, Bottom).

left&right

left&rightA value measured by pixels that specifies the Left and Right values of a symmetrical Thickness.

top&bottom

top&bottomA value measured by pixels that specifies the Top and Bottom values of a symmetrical Thickness.

left,top,right,bottom

left,top,right,bottomValues measured by pixels that specify the four possible dimension values of a Thickness structure (Left, Top, Right, Bottom). In the XAML syntaxes shown, you can use a space rather than a comma as the delimiter between values.

## -property-value The dimensions of the space between the presenter and its children as a [Thickness](../windows.ui.xaml/thickness.md) value. [Thickness](../windows.ui.xaml/thickness.md) is a structure that stores dimension values using pixel measures.

-remarks

A Padding value applies to presentation rendering of each presented item and also to the header (if one is specified).

A related property is Margin (a property of FrameworkElement). For ItemsPresenter , margin and padding would typically blend together with the division between them not being apparent in the rendering. So it's typical to specify a Margin or a Padding, but not both. For more info about the relationship between margin and padding, see Alignment, margin, and padding or Define layouts with XAML.
