The Absolute field of the PositionMode enum represents a positioning mode where the element is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor, if any. Unlike Relative positioning, the size of the element does not affect the layout of other elements. This means that the element is removed from the normal document flow, allowing it to overlap other elements without affecting their positions.
Use PositionMode.Absolute when you need to position an element at a specific location within its container, without affecting the layout of other elements. This is useful for creating overlays, tooltips, or any UI component that needs to be positioned independently of the surrounding content.
// Example of using PositionMode.Absolute in a UI component var myElement = new UIElement(); myElement.PositionMode = PositionMode.Absolute; myElement.Style.Top = 100; // Position 100 units from the top of the container myElement.Style.Left = 50; // Position 50 units from the left of the container // Add the element to a parent container parentContainer.AddChild(myElement);
