However, we do not recommend its use as it may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. Paints a control border with a reveal effect using composition brush and light effects. Equivalent WinUI 2 API for UWP: Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.RevealBorderBrush (for WinUI in the Windows App SDK, see the Windows App SDK namespaces).
RevealBrush	Important RevealBrush is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section.
