public SizeF Inflate {get; set;}

The control automatically determines the dimensions of the backplane depending on the object it is attached to. For example if you have a text object the control will calculate the bounding rectangle of the text and then modify the backplane dimensions so that they match the text bounding rectangle. You can additionally inflate or deflate these dimensions by using the Inflate property. The inflate is always specified in device units (pixels).

Visual Basic

Dim backplane As Backplane =  someTextProps.Backplane 
backplane.Inflate = New SizeF(4, 4) ' increase the width and height of the backplane with 4 pixels

C#

Backplane backplane = someTextProps.Backplane;
backplane.Inflate = new SizeF(4, 4); // increase the width and height of the backplane with 4 pixels

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
