how to find a control inside ItemsPanelTemplate in wpf?
- by kakopappa
I am trying to access a Grid inside the DataTemplate while the ItemsControl is binded by ItemsSource.
this is the full XMAL code, How do i find a certain element from outside?
for (int i = 0; i < allViewControl.Items.Count; i++)
{
var container = allViewControl.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(allViewControl.Items[i]) as FrameworkElement;
var grid = allViewControl.ItemTemplate.FindName("grid", container) as DataGrid;
}
i found this always returning null ?
<ScrollViewer Grid.Row="0" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto">
<ItemsControl x:Name="allViewControl" Focusable="False" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="true" ItemsSource="{Binding AllClassCharacters}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource CharacterViewModelTemplate}" >
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<Extensions:AnimatedWrapPanel IsItemsHost="true" />
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
</ScrollViewer>
