Access a Flyout inside a DataTemplate

Question

Hi, can you tell me please how to access a Flyout inside a DataTemplate (Windows 8.1) ?

Answer 1

Hi Mnaouar,

To access into to the DataTemplate, you need the help of VisualTreeHelper.

Jerry Nixon has a blog named How to access a named control inside a XAML DataTemplate (using CSharp) , should help you find the target control. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I have seen this blog before and i have based on his solution to find mine . Well, in my case i need first to find the control wich the flyout is attached by using VisualTreeHelper , after that i can access the flyout by using this method FlyoutBase.GetAttachedFlyout(myControl) and finally i can access any control inside the flyout by using the VisualTreeHelper and the content of the flyout.

Thank you James :)
