Caption of a grid in a windows universal project - xaml

Question

I am trying to set a caption (something like the caption of a html table control) for my grid control but I am not seeing any property related to that. Am I missing something ?
Currently I am thinking to set the grid caption using another TextBlock control having the same alignment with the grid... but this seems to get complicated for such a simple thing.
Do you know, is there another way to set the caption of a grid in a universal windows project ?

Answer 1

Add another row to your grid. Then add a TextBlock to the last row for the caption. Set the Grid ColumnSpan property, for the TextBlock, to span all of the columns in your grid.
Here is an example:
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
<RowDefinition Height="50" />
<RowDefinition Height="25" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="50" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Rectangle Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Fill="White" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Fill="White" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="3" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Fill="White" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" Fill="White" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Fill="White" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Fill="White" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="3" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Fill="White" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="2" Fill="Black" />
<Rectangle Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="3" Fill="White" />
<TextBlock Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="4"
Text="This is a Caption"
HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"
Foreground="Black" FontSize="10"/>
</Grid>

This is an acceptable solution, Mike Jablonski has provided a sample. If you need to ensure reusability, you can create a UserControl which using TextBlock control to show Caption, registering a dependency property is a good way to set "Caption" for this UserControl, see Dependency properties overview
