Creating a list of buttons

I have this xaml code

<StackPanel Margin="0 50 0 0">
                <Button Style="{StaticResource WordButton}" Content="Гитара" 
                        x:Name="FirstWordButton" Click="FirstWordButton_Click"/>
                <Button Style="{StaticResource WordButton}" Content="Дерево"
                        x:Name="SecondWordButton" Click="SecondWordButton_Click"/>
                <Button Style="{StaticResource WordButton}" Content="Дверь"
                        x:Name="ThirdWordButton" Click="ThirdWordButton_Click"/>
                <Button Style="{StaticResource WordButton}" Content="Лес"
                        x:Name="FourthWordButton" Click="FourthWordButton_Click"/>
            </StackPanel>

I`m not very happy about the fact that for handle, for instance all buttons, I need to write their names. Is it possible to create a list or resource and put all there all these buttons to handle buttons like this?

foreach (Button B in "resource")
     ................

Sorry for bad English!

Solution

  • The Button elements are added to the Children collection of the StackPanel when the XAML markup is processed so you could just give the StackPanel a name in the XAML markup:

    <StackPanel x:Name="sp" ... />

    ...and then access the Button elements like this in the code:

    foreach (Button button in sp.Children.OfType<Button>())
