Using Variable To Access WPF Element

Question

I have a number of Grid elements in a WPF Grid. Each Grid is named as 'DocumentPage1', 'DocumentPage2','DocumentPage3', etc.

If I wish to edit 'DocumentPage' + An'int'Variable, what am I to do?

This does not work:

...
int PageToAccess = 2;
"DocumentPage" + PageToAccess.Height = 200; //This does not work
...

Just asking, put what in an array? Any hint would be useful. Thank you! — Theo

Put the controls in an array (in your constructor). You can them access them by index from the array. — SLaks

Use VisualTreeHelper.. like the answer from this stackoverflow.com/questions/636383/… — tgpdyk

You can use FindName to get a object by its name.

...
int PageToAccess = 2;
((Control)FindName("DocumentPage" + PageToAccess)).Height = 200;
