How to set Grid Row with RowDefinition name?

I'm organizing my grid with RowDefinitions and ColumnDefinition, but forever when I want add a new RowDefinition in before actual any RowDefinition, I need reorganize Grid.Row of all controls

I saw RowDefinition and ColumnDefinition has a Name property, so I think is possible define Grid.Row with RowDefinition name or not? If is possible, How do

<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Name="RowDictTitle" Height="27"/>
        <RowDefinition Name="RowSearchWord" Height="27"/>
        <RowDefinition/>
        <RowDefinition Height="50"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="2*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

    <!--Row 1-->
    <TextBlock Text="Word：" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,0,0,0" Grid.Row="1"/>
    <TextBox Name="Search" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="50,2,10,2"/>

    <!--Row 2-->
    <ListBox Name="Words" Grid.Row="2" Margin="10"/>
</Grid>

I want make below

<TextBlock Text="Word" Grid.Row="RowSearchWord"/>
Solution

  • Nice idea but since the Grid.Row attached property is an integer this is not possible.

    See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.grid.row.aspx

    However, it may possible to create a helper that takes the name of the grid row, finds the row object and returns its row index.
