Property Value

Type	Description
GridColumn	A GridColumn object representing the column that contains the test point.

Remarks

Use the Column property to obtain the column whose element is under the test point. Please refer to the Column topic for the list of elements within a column. If the test point is over a visual element which does not belong to any column, the Column property returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

To determine the type of a particular visual element under the test point, read the GridHitInfo.HitTest property value.
