# How to: Use a ThicknessConverter Object
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
This example shows how to create an instance of <xref:System.Windows.ThicknessConverter> and use it to change the thickness of a border.
|
|
|
|
The example defines a custom method called `changeThickness`; this method first converts the contents of a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem>, as defined in a separate [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] file, to an instance of <xref:System.Windows.Thickness>, and later converts the content into a <xref:System.String>. This method passes the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem> to a <xref:System.Windows.ThicknessConverter> object, which converts the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.Content%2A> of a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.ListBoxItem> to an instance of <xref:System.Windows.Thickness>. This value is then passed back as the value of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border.BorderThickness%2A> property of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Border>.
