This example shows how to use the get and set methods that are defined on Grid to position child elements.
The following example defines a parent Grid element (grid1) that has three columns and three rows. A child Rectangle element (rect1) is added to the Grid in column position zero, row position zero. Button elements represent methods that can be called to reposition the Rectangle element within the Grid. When a user clicks a button, the related method is activated.
<StackPanel Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Orientation="Vertical">
<Button Click="setCol0">Move Rectangle to Column 0</Button>
<Button Click="setCol1">Move Rectangle to Column 1</Button>
<Button Click="setCol2" Margin="0,0,0,10">Move Rectangle to Column 2</Button>
<Button Click="setRow0">Move Rectangle to Row 0</Button>
<Button Click="setRow1">Move Rectangle to Row 1</Button>
<Button Click="setRow2" Margin="0,0,0,10">Move Rectangle to Row 2</Button>
<Button Click="setColspan">Span All Columns</Button>
<Button Click="setRowspan">Span All Rows</Button>
<Button Click="clearAll">Clear All</Button>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>

</Grid>
The following code-behind example handles the methods that the button Click events raise. The example writes these method calls to TextBlock elements that use related get methods to output the new property values as strings.
Private Sub setCol0(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetColumn(rect1, 0) txt1.Text = "Rectangle is in Column " + Grid.GetColumn(rect1).ToString() End Sub Private Sub setCol1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetColumn(rect1, 1) txt1.Text = "Rectangle is in Column " + Grid.GetColumn(rect1).ToString() End Sub Private Sub setCol2(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetColumn(rect1, 2) txt1.Text = "Rectangle is in Column " + Grid.GetColumn(rect1).ToString() End Sub Private Sub setRow0(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetRow(rect1, 0) txt2.Text = "Rectangle is in Row " + Grid.GetRow(rect1).ToString() End Sub Private Sub setRow1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetRow(rect1, 1) txt2.Text = "Rectangle is in Row " + Grid.GetRow(rect1).ToString() End Sub Private Sub setRow2(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetRow(rect1, 2) txt2.Text = "Rectangle is in Row " + Grid.GetRow(rect1).ToString() End Sub Private Sub setColspan(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetColumnSpan(rect1, 3) txt3.Text = "ColumnSpan is set to " + Grid.GetColumnSpan(rect1).ToString() End Sub Private Sub setRowspan(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Grid.SetRowSpan(rect1, 3) txt4.Text = "RowSpan is set to " + Grid.GetRowSpan(rect1).ToString() End Sub

| How to: Create a Grid Element | The following example shows how to create and use an instance of Grid by using either Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) or code. This example uses three ColumnDefinition objects and three RowDefinition objects to create a grid that has nine cells, such as in a worksheet. Each cell contains a TextBlock element that represents data, and the top row contains a TextBlock with the ColumnSpan property applied. To show the boundaries of each cell, the ShowGridLines property is enabled. |
