PositionType enum

Defines how an element establishes a positioning context for its absolutely positioned children.

This enum controls whether an element acts as a reference point for positioning its absolutely positioned descendants. Similar to CSS positioning contexts, this determines which parent an absolutely positioned child will be positioned relative to.

Used in conjunction with LayoutBehavior.absolute and position properties (top, left, right, bottom) to establish the positioning hierarchy.

Values

none → const PositionType

Does not establish a positioning context (default).

Absolutely positioned children will skip this element and position themselves relative to the nearest ancestor with PositionType.relative.

This is similar to CSS position: static where the element does not create a containing block for absolute positioning.

relative → const PositionType

Establishes a positioning context for absolutely positioned children.

Absolutely positioned children will position themselves relative to this element's top-left corner (or edges based on their position properties).

This is similar to CSS position: relative where the element creates a containing block for absolutely positioned descendants.
