How to: Find an Element by Its Name

This example describes how to use the xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.FindName%2A method to find an element by its xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Name%2A value.

Example

In this example, the method to find a particular element by its name is written as the event handler of a button. stackPanel is the xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Name%2A of the root xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement being searched, and the example method then visually indicates the found element by casting it as xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock and changing one of the xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock visible [!INCLUDETLA2#tla_ui] properties.
