How to loop through WPF StackPanel static Items?

Question

Probably very easy but I am having trouble to figure this out (also Google doesn't seem to help much).

How can I loop through the statically declared elements (no databinding - elements are declared in the xaml) of a StackPanel?

Any help appreciated!

Answer 1

Do you mean the StackPanel's children?

foreach (var child in stackPanel.Children)
{
    //do something with child
}

A more generic solution that would work regardless of the parent would be to use LogicalTreeHelper or VisualTreeHelper, depending on what WPF tree you wish to traverse:

foreach (var child in LogicalTreeHelper.GetChildren(stackPanel))
{
    //do something with child
}

Answer 2

I thought just the same as Johnldol, since in my case I had one child and I knew its type; I didn't want to obscure my code by an unnecessary loop. So this is how I reached the TextBlock inside the Hyperlink:

        var looper = LogicalTreeHelper.GetChildren(objHyperlink).GetEnumerator();
        looper.MoveNext();
        TextBlock objTextBlock = (looper.Current as InlineUIContainer).Child as TextBlock;
