WPF: how to find an element in a datatemplate from an itemscontrol?

In Code Behind of ToolboxItem call the method like his.

In Code Behind of ToolboxItem call the method like his: FindVisualChild(this); This works fine for me and returns me the expected Image Object.

Thanks a lot, viky. But the datatemplate is "inside" the toolboxm not the toolboxitem. Should I add it to a toolbox or a toolboxitem?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
