  1. POHow to grab row and column info from a label inside a grid in WPF?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a 3x3 grid that I use as a gameboard for tic tac toe. Each grid has a label that can display "X" "O" or "". Each of these labels contains row and column information for where they are located to. I am trying to get that information from code file. So far I have:</p> <pre><code> &lt;Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Name="lblZeroxZero" MouseDown="lblZeroxZero_MouseDown" FontSize="72" Padding="5" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Name="lblZeroxOne" MouseDown="lblZeroxOne_MouseDown" FontSize="72" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Name="lblZeroxTwo" MouseDown="lblZeroxTwo_MouseDown" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="72" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Name="lblOnexZero" MouseDown="lblOnexZero_MouseDown" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="72" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Name="lblOnexOne" MouseDown="lblOnexOne_MouseDown" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="72" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Name="lblOnexTwo" MouseDown="lblOnexTwo_MouseDown" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="72" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Name="lblTwoxZero" MouseDown="lblTwoxZero_MouseDown" FontSize="72" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Name="lblTwoxOne" MouseDown="lblTwoxOne_MouseDown" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="72" /&gt; &lt;Label Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Name="lblTwoxTwo" MouseDown="lblTwoxTwo_MouseDown" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center" FontSize="72"&gt; </code></pre> <p>Those are my labels and in my code file I want to get the Grid.Row and Grid.Column info. When I type lblZeroxZero. the intellisense doesn't bring up any properties that contain the row and column information. Does anyone know how to get this info? Do I have to access it from the datagrid as opposed to the label?</p> <p>Edit: Some more info</p> <p>In my codefile I have this method (not complete yet)</p> <pre><code> private int[] GetLabelPosition(Label lbl) { int[] rowColumnInfo = new int[2]; if (lbl.Name == "lblZeroxZero") { rowColumnInfo[0] = 0; rowColumnInfo[1] = 0; } else if (lbl.Name == "lblOnexZero") { rowColumnInfo[0] = 1; rowColumnInfo[1] = 0; } return rowColumnInfo; } </code></pre> <p>Currently, the only way I know how to get the label's row and column info is by looking at its name. I would like to get the Grid.Row and Grid.Column information without having to create a bunch of specific cases for each label name.</p>
