虽然我一般喜欢递归，但在c#中编程时，它不如迭代有效，所以也许下面的解决方案比John Myczek建议的更整洁?这将从给定控件搜索层次结构，以查找特定类型的祖先控件。

public static T FindVisualAncestorOfType<T>(this DependencyObject Elt)
    where T : DependencyObject
{
    for (DependencyObject parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(Elt);
        parent != null; parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(parent))
    {
        T result = parent as T;
        if (result != null)
            return result;
    }
    return null;
}

像这样调用它来找到包含一个名为ExampleTextBox的控件的窗口:

Window window = ExampleTextBox.FindVisualAncestorOfType<Window>();

下面是一个使用灵活谓词的解决方案:

public static DependencyObject FindChild(DependencyObject parent, Func<DependencyObject, bool> predicate)
{
    if (parent == null) return null;

    int childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
    for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
    {
        var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);

        if (predicate(child))
        {
            return child;
        }
        else
        {
            var foundChild = FindChild(child, predicate);
            if (foundChild != null)
                return foundChild;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

例如，你可以这样称呼它:

var child = FindChild(parent, child =>
{
    var textBlock = child as TextBlock;
    if (textBlock != null && textBlock.Name == "MyTextBlock")
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}) as TextBlock;

如果您希望找到特定类型的ALL控件，那么您可能也会对这个代码段感兴趣

    public static IEnumerable<T> FindVisualChildren<T>(DependencyObject parent) 
        where T : DependencyObject
    {
        int childrenCount = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
        for (int i = 0; i < childrenCount; i++)
        {
            var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);

            var childType = child as T;
            if (childType != null)
            {
                yield return (T)child;
            }

            foreach (var other in FindVisualChildren<T>(child))
            {
                yield return other;
            }
        }
    }

我找不到@CrimsonX或@Drew Noakes方法的控件，因为我的ControlTemplate位于一个单独的XAML文件中。 我用下面的方法找到了控件:

private Image backImage;
private void Diagram_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // here is the example of the ControlTemplate declaration
    //<ControlTemplate x:Key="DiagramControlTemplate1" TargetType="{x:Type Diagram}">
    var ctrlTemplate = (ControlTemplate)FindResource("DiagramControlTemplate1");
    // diagram is the x:Name of TemplatedControl and, "backImage" is the name of control that I want to find.
    var imageControl = ctrlTemplate.FindName("backImage", diagram);
    if (imageControl != null)
    {
        this.backImage = (Image)imageControl;
    }
}

这对我很有用。

您可以使用VisualTreeHelper来查找控件。下面是一个使用VisualTreeHelper查找指定类型的父控件的方法。您也可以使用VisualTreeHelper以其他方式查找控件。

public static class UIHelper
{
   /// <summary>
   /// Finds a parent of a given item on the visual tree.
   /// </summary>
   /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the queried item.</typeparam>
   /// <param name="child">A direct or indirect child of the queried item.</param>
   /// <returns>The first parent item that matches the submitted type parameter. 
   /// If not matching item can be found, a null reference is being returned.</returns>
   public static T FindVisualParent<T>(DependencyObject child)
     where T : DependencyObject
   {
      // get parent item
      DependencyObject parentObject = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(child);

      // we’ve reached the end of the tree
      if (parentObject == null) return null;

      // check if the parent matches the type we’re looking for
      T parent = parentObject as T;
      if (parent != null)
      {
         return parent;
      }
      else
      {
         // use recursion to proceed with next level
         return FindVisualParent<T>(parentObject);
      }
   }
}

这样叫它:

Window owner = UIHelper.FindVisualParent<Window>(myControl);

我将John Myczek使用的模板格式和Tri Q上面的算法结合起来，创建了一个findChild算法，它可以用于任何父类。请记住，递归向下搜索树可能是一个漫长的过程。我只是在一个WPF应用程序上进行了抽查，请对您可能发现的任何错误进行评论，我会纠正我的代码。

WPF Snoop是一个查看可视化树的有用工具——我强烈建议在测试时使用它，或者使用这个算法来检查你的工作。

在Tri Q算法中有一个小错误。找到子对象后，如果childrenCount为> 1，然后再次迭代，就可以覆盖正确找到的子对象。因此，我添加了一个if (foundChild != null) break;加入我的代码来处理这种情况。

/// <summary>
/// Finds a Child of a given item in the visual tree. 
/// </summary>
/// <param name="parent">A direct parent of the queried item.</param>
/// <typeparam name="T">The type of the queried item.</typeparam>
/// <param name="childName">x:Name or Name of child. </param>
/// <returns>The first parent item that matches the submitted type parameter. 
/// If not matching item can be found, 
/// a null parent is being returned.</returns>
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
    {
      // child element found.
      foundChild = (T)child;
      break;
    }
  }

  return foundChild;
}

这样叫它:

TextBox foundTextBox = 
   UIHelper.FindChild<TextBox>(Application.Current.MainWindow, "myTextBoxName");

注意:Application.Current.MainWindow可以是任何父窗口。
