Question

How do I loop through the all controls in a window in WPF?

Answer 1

I've used the following to get all controls.

    public static IList GetControls(this DependencyObject parent)
    {            
        var result = new List();
        for (int x = 0; x < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent); x++)
        {
            DependencyObject child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, x);
            var instance = child as Control;

            if (null != instance)
                result.Add(instance);

            result.AddRange(child.GetControls());
        } 
        return result;
    }
