Thank you. At the end I managed with the help of VisualTreeHelper:
Here is my code: I created another class for visual tree helper
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Media;
namespace KioskMainApp.Common
{
public class VisualTreeHelpers
{
/// <summary>
/// Returns the first ancester of specified type
/// </summary>
public static T FindAncestor<T>(DependencyObject current)
where T : DependencyObject
{
current = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(current);
while (current != null)
{
if (current is T)
{
return (T)current;
}
current = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(current);
};
return null;
}
/// <summary>
/// Returns a specific ancester of an object
/// </summary>
public static T FindAncestor<T>(DependencyObject current, T lookupItem)
where T : DependencyObject
{
while (current != null)
{
if (current is T && current == lookupItem)
{
return (T)current;
}
current = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(current);
};
return null;
}
/// <summary>
/// Finds an ancestor object by name and type
/// </summary>
public static T FindAncestor<T>(DependencyObject current, string parentName)
where T : DependencyObject
{
while (current != null)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(parentName))
{
var frameworkElement = current as FrameworkElement;
if (current is T && frameworkElement != null && frameworkElement.Name == parentName)
{
return (T)current;
}
}
else if (current is T)
{
return (T)current;
}
current = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(current);
};
return null;
}
/// <summary>
/// Looks for a child control within a parent by name
/// </summary>
public static T FindChild<T>(DependencyObject parent, string childName)
where T : DependencyObject
{
// Confirm parent and childName are valid.
if (parent == null)
{
return null;
}
T foundChild = null;
int childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
// If the child is not of the request child type child
T childType = child as T;
if (childType == null)
{
// recursively drill down the tree
foundChild = FindChild<T>(child, childName);
// If the child is found, break so we do not overwrite the found child.
if (foundChild != null)
{
break;
}
}
else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(childName))
{
var frameworkElement = child as FrameworkElement;
// If the child's name is set for search
if (frameworkElement != null && frameworkElement.Name == childName)
{
// if the child's name is of the request name
foundChild = (T)child;
break;
}
else
{
// recursively drill down the tree
foundChild = FindChild<T>(child, childName);
// If the child is found, break so we do not overwrite the found child.
if (foundChild != null)
{
break;
}
}
}
else
{
// child element found.
foundChild = (T)child;
break;
}
}
return foundChild;
}
/// <summary>
/// Looks for a child control within a parent by type
/// </summary>
public static T FindChild<T>(DependencyObject parent)
where T : DependencyObject
{
// Confirm parent is valid.
if (parent == null)
{
return null;
}
T foundChild = null;
int childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
{
var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
// If the child is not of the request child type child
T childType = child as T;
if (childType == null)
{
// recursively drill down the tree
foundChild = FindChild<T>(child);
// If the child is found, break so we do not overwrite the found child.
if (foundChild != null)
{
break;
}
}
else
{
// child element found.
foundChild = (T)child;
break;
}
}
return foundChild;
}
}
}
and in xaml.cs I call like this:
CheckBox specificChild = VisualTreeHelpers.FindChild<CheckBox>(grdFineDetails, "HeaderCheckBox");
Done !!!
