# How to: Find the Source Element in an Event Handler
This example shows how to find the source element in an event handler.
## Example
The following example shows a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.Click> event handler that is declared in a code-behind file. When a user clicks the button that the handler is attached to, the handler changes a property value. The handler code uses the <xref:System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.Source%2A> property of the routed event data that is reported in the event arguments to change the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Width%2A> property value on the <xref:System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.Source%2A> element.
