Finding the TextBlock that is part of the default control template ComboBox generated through code.
- by uriya
I'm trying to find the TextBlock that is inside the control template of a comboBox.
using VisualTreeHelpar.GetChildrenCount is working only if the comboBox is declared in XAML.In that case GetChildrenCount returns 1 and a recursive search is possible.
However, if I declare the combo as a member of the Window class using code, allocated and setting it to its place, the function GetChildrenCount return 0. When I run snoop in this scenario It shows the combo children hierarchy. I want to be able to search the comboBox just as snoop does.
Any help would be appreciated.
code:
ComboBox mCombo = null;
private void Windows_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
mCombo = new ComboBox;
mGrid.Children.Add(mCombo);
Grid.SetRow(mCombo,0);
int count = VisualTreeHelpar.GetChildrenCount(mCombo);
}
