# How to: Position the Child Elements of a Grid
|
|
This example shows how to use the get and set methods that are defined on <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid> to position child elements.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
The following example defines a parent <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid> element (`grid1`) that has three columns and three rows. A child <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle> element (`rect1`) is added to the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid> in column position zero, row position zero. <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button> elements represent methods that can be called to reposition the <xref:System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle> element within the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Grid>. When a user clicks a button, the related method is activated.
|
|
|
|
[!code-xaml[gridGetSetMethods](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/gridGetSetMethods/CSharp/Window1.xaml)]
|
|
|
|
The following code-behind example handles the methods that the button <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.Click> events raise. The example writes these method calls to <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock> elements that use related get methods to output the new property values as strings.

|
|

|
|
Here is the finished result!
