How to: Handle a Loaded Event

This example shows how to handle the FrameworkElement.Loaded event, and an appropriate scenario for handling that event. The handler creates a Button when the page loads.

Example

The following example uses Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) together with a code-behind file.

<StackPanel
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  x:Class="SDKSample.FELoaded"
  Loaded="OnLoad"
  Name="root"
>
</StackPanel>

void OnLoad(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Button b1 = new Button();
    b1.Content = "New Button";
    root.Children.Add(b1);
    b1.Height = 25;
    b1.Width = 200;
    b1.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
}

Private Sub OnLoad(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim b1 As Button = New Button()
    b1.Content = "New Button"
    root.Children.Add(b1)
    b1.Height = 25
    b1.Width = 200
    b1.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left
End Sub
