Assembly:

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Gets a UIElementCollection of child elements of this Panel.

public:
 property System::Windows::Controls::UIElementCollection ^ Children { System::Windows::Controls::UIElementCollection ^ get(); };
public System.Windows.Controls.UIElementCollection Children { get; }
member this.Children : System.Windows.Controls.UIElementCollection
Public ReadOnly Property Children As UIElementCollection

Property Value

A UIElementCollection. The default is an empty UIElementCollection.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Children property to add a UIElement child to a Panel element.

StackPanel myStackPanel = new StackPanel();
Button myButton = new Button();
myButton.Content = "Press me";
myStackPanel.Children.Add(myButton);

Dim myStackPanel As New StackPanel()
Dim myButton As New Button()
myButton.Content = "Press me"
myStackPanel.Children.Add(myButton)

Remarks

The Children collection of a Panel element can only consist of UIElement objects. Adding a UIElement child to a Panel implicitly adds it to the UIElementCollection for the Panel element.

Do not use this collection with derived Panel classes; use the InternalChildren collection instead.

This property returns null if the Panel is data bound.
