Property:  Item Background Area Size (version Pro only)

Sets a minimum width or height for the Item's background area, excluding border size.

The default "Auto" value means that the item's size is determined by its content and that it is not forced to specific values.

For example, the item below uses no images and no <Item Content Padding> or <Item Horizontal Margin>:

If we want to enforce a larger width on this item, we can change the "Minimum Width" value to "100". The resulted item will be the following:

Note that we refer to minimum width and height. This is because the actual item's size depends on other factors too, that may enlarge the minimum value. For example, the existence of a second item with larger text in the same group will cause the width to be larger than the one specified:

Finally, note that the borders are not counted when determining the actual item's size. This means that if the <Item Background Area Size> is "100,100" and the item uses a border with a size of 2 pixels, the actual item size will be 102,102 pixels.
