Hi,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the info..<br />
I have found that the following does this directly...<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Int32 xElipseID = 3;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Ellipse myEllipse = (Ellipse) FindName(&quot;ellipse&quot; + xElipseID.ToString());<br />
<br />
Is this *correct* WPF coding ?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a number of Ellipses on the main interface to a WPF application.<br />
<br />
I would like to change the properties of these programmatically, but I want to reference them by name (otherwise the code will be huge!!)<br />
<br />
I would like something like this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;
<pre><code id="code-10-26430825-1">Ellipse mine = (Ellipse) UIElements.Find[&quot;ellipse12&quot;];</code></pre>
<br />
I know this is not the correct syntax, but is this approach possible???<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />
<br />

How can I find a UIElement on a WPF application

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
