Vista - Populating a grid programmatically

I'm generating on onscreen keyboard (for an industrial touchscreen app) and
it should clearly be based on a grid with buttons.

It is crying out to be populated from code, not markup, but I cannot find
any examples or documentation regarding how to add content to a specific cell
in the grid layout, with specific rowspan etc.

Any weblinks or other hints much appreciated.

OK, the answer was under my nose in this forum !

For anyone interested.

(assuming x:Name="myGrid" in markup)

// add rows to grid (it's the same deal for columns too)
for (int row=0;row < numRows; row++)
{
myGrid=RowDefinitions.Add(new RowDefinition());
}

(I'd be interested to see if there is a slicker way of doing this bit. )


// Stick a control in intended location

b = new Button();

myGrid.Children.Add(b);
Grid.SetRow(b,1); // 2nd row
Grid.SetColumn(b,3); // 4th column
Grid.SetColumnSpan(b,2);

b.Style = (Style)FindResource("myButtonStyle"); // defined in MyApp.xaml


As with all these things, seems obvious afterwards
