Inline editing TextBlock in a ListBox with Data Template (WPF)

Question

Using WPF, I have a ListBox control with a DataTemplate inside it. The relevant XAML code is shown below:

What I've done in these situations is used the XAML hierarchy to determine which element to show/hide. Something along the lines of:

with the code:

protected void txtblk_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    TextBox txt = (TextBox)((Grid)((TextBlock)sender).Parent).Children[1];
    txt.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
    ((TextBlock)sender).Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

protected void txtbox_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    TextBlock tb = (TextBlock)((Grid)((TextBox)sender).Parent).Children[0];
    tb.Text = ((TextBox)sender).Text;
    tb.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
    ((TextBox)sender).Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

I always turn stuff like this that I'm going to reuse into a UserControl, which I can add additional error handling to, and guarantee that the Grid will only contain two items, and the order of them will never change.

EDIT: Additionally, turning this into a UserControl allows you to create a Text property for each instantiation, so you can name each one and reference the text directly without fishing for the current value through the ((TextBox)myGrid.Children[1]).Text casting. This will make your code much more efficient and clean. If you make it into a UserControl, you can also name the TextBlock and TextBox elements, so no casting is needed at all.
