I want to access the text box inside the selected items as a textbox.(in code behind ) how can i do this?

i used this article by beth massi.

how do you want to access the textbox? in code or in XAML? you should provide more info on that, such as your purpose of doing so... — Hopeless

you can acces to textbox ui element (if your texblock is clicked)

     TextBlock content = ((FrameworkElement)e.OriginalSource) as TextBlock;

else if your texblock is inside a grid use

      Grid c = ((FrameworkElement)e.OriginalSource) as Grid;

and search for the grid(c) children.

Because you are using IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" you should be able to access the current item of your list 'Lines'. Your text box is bound to Context so I would assume in your view model you would be able to call 'Lines.CurrentItem.Context'

i want to access that text box as TextBox object like normal textbox. Context (in my Line Object is a string) . pleas help me

Chris Over a year ago

for what purpose exactly? because you shouldn't couple your view with your view model however in the xaml.cs if you gave your textbox a name or an x:name then you would be able to access it there.
