我根据@Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen的建议改编了@Bryce Kahle的回答，并使用了LogicalTreeHelper。

看起来还行。；）

public static IEnumerable<T> FindLogicalChildren<T> ( DependencyObject depObj ) where T : DependencyObject
{
    if( depObj != null )
    {
        foreach( object rawChild in LogicalTreeHelper.GetChildren( depObj ) )
        {
            if( rawChild is DependencyObject )
            {
                DependencyObject child = (DependencyObject)rawChild;
                if( child is T )
                {
                    yield return (T)child;
                }

                foreach( T childOfChild in FindLogicalChildren<T>( child ) ) 
                {
                    yield return childOfChild;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

(它仍然不会检查@Benjamin Berry和@David R分别提到的组框中的选项卡控件或网格。) (也遵循@noonand的建议&删除多余的子!= null)

我的c++ /CLI版本

template < class T, class U >
bool Isinst(U u) 
{
    return dynamic_cast< T >(u) != nullptr;
}

template <typename T>
    T FindVisualChildByType(Windows::UI::Xaml::DependencyObject^ element, Platform::String^ name)
    {
        if (Isinst<T>(element) && dynamic_cast<Windows::UI::Xaml::FrameworkElement^>(element)->Name == name)
        {
            return dynamic_cast<T>(element);
        }
        int childcount = Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::VisualTreeHelper::GetChildrenCount(element);
        for (int i = 0; i < childcount; ++i)
        {
            auto childElement = FindVisualChildByType<T>(Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::VisualTreeHelper::GetChild(element, i), name);
            if (childElement != nullptr)
            {
                return childElement;
            }
        }
        return nullptr;
    };

要获得特定类型的所有子元素的列表，您可以使用:

private static IEnumerable<DependencyObject> FindInVisualTreeDown(DependencyObject obj, Type type)
{
    if (obj != null)
    {
        if (obj.GetType() == type)
        {
            yield return obj;
        }

        for (var i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(obj); i++)
        {
            foreach (var child in FindInVisualTreeDown(VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(obj, i), type))
            {
                if (child != null)
                {
                    yield return child;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    yield break;
}

这就是它向上的工作原理

    private T FindParent<T>(DependencyObject item, Type StopAt) where T : class
    {
        if (item is T)
        {
            return item as T;
        }
        else
        {
            DependencyObject _parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(item);
            if (_parent == null)
            {
                return default(T);
            }
            else
            {
                Type _type = _parent.GetType();
                if (StopAt != null)
                {
                    if ((_type.IsSubclassOf(StopAt) == true) || (_type == StopAt))
                    {
                        return null;
                    }
                }

                if ((_type.IsSubclassOf(typeof(T)) == true) || (_type == typeof(T)))
                {
                    return _parent as T;
                }
                else
                {
                    return FindParent<T>(_parent, StopAt);
                }
            }
        }
    }

对于这个和更多的用例，你可以添加流动扩展方法到你的库:

 public static List<DependencyObject> FindAllChildren(this DependencyObject dpo, Predicate<DependencyObject> predicate)
    {
        var results = new List<DependencyObject>();
        if (predicate == null)
            return results;


        for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(dpo); i++)
        {
            var child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(dpo, i);
            if (predicate(child))
                results.Add(child);

            var subChildren = child.FindAllChildren(predicate);
            results.AddRange(subChildren);
        }
        return results;
    }

举个例子:

 var children = dpObject.FindAllChildren(child => child is TextBox);

接受的答案返回发现的元素或多或少是无序的，方法是尽可能深入地跟随第一个子分支，同时在返回和重复尚未解析的树枝的步骤之前，沿途生成发现的元素。

如果你需要按降序排列的后代元素，其中直接的子元素将首先产生，然后是它们的子元素，依此类推，下面的算法将工作:

public static IEnumerable<T> GetVisualDescendants<T>(DependencyObject parent, bool applyTemplates = false)
    where T : DependencyObject
{
    if (parent == null || !(child is Visual || child is Visual3D))
        yield break;

    var descendants = new Queue<DependencyObject>();
    descendants.Enqueue(parent);

    while (descendants.Count > 0)
    {
        var currentDescendant = descendants.Dequeue();

        if (applyTemplates)
            (currentDescendant as FrameworkElement)?.ApplyTemplate();

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

            if (child is Visual || child is Visual3D)
                descendants.Enqueue(child);

            if (child is T foundObject)
                yield return foundObject;
        }
    }
}

生成的元素将从最近到最远进行排序。 这将是有用的，例如，如果你正在寻找某种类型和条件的最近的子元素:

var foundElement = GetDescendants<StackPanel>(someElement)
                       .FirstOrDefault(o => o.SomeProperty == SomeState);
