How to add control to grid cell in designer without editing XAML?

I want to add control into WPF Grid cell 0,0 just by using mouse&menus.

I can easily do it

To my surprise I found out I'm unable to add it simply by using mouse & menus. If I use drag&drop, control (yellow) is not inserted into specific cell of grid, but placed where I dropped it, ignoring cell boundaries (the grid is highlighted by orange):

How can I add control into cell 0,0 just by clicking in designer?

I've checked few online tutorials, authors always go the XAML way.

Here are your steps :

    1. Hover around the layout near edges of layout in designer till see see a yellow line.
    2. Click to create grid rows and columns when u see this yellow line to create rows and columns.
    3. Drag a control and place it in the grid at a corner (to avoid Margins) Your mouse pointer should stand near the pointer for this to occur.
    4. In case of a mistake use the locks near the margins to turn on or of the margin.
    5. Even after placing drag to the corner is possible.

Please notice the XAML Generated.
