How to get the Style set by a StyleSelector in a GridViewCell

[George]

I have a GridViewCell whose style has been set by a StyleSelector.

The style is a ControlTemplate that contains a Border which wraps a VisualStateManager (actually an attached property on the Border), a ContentPresenter, and a ToolTipService.ToopTip (which is also an attached property on the border).  The Border has a name, PART_CellBorder.

The ToolTip within the ToolTipService contains a collection of InteractionBehaviors which contains a single behavior, LoadToolTipTextBehavior, I'm after.

In the RadGrid's RowUnloaded event handler I need to invoke the Detach() method of the LoadToopTipTextBehavior.  I've done this in other cases with xaml defined behaviors, but not when the style has been set by a StyleSelector.  How can I get a reference to the Border? 

In the past I've drilled down into a ControlTemplate to get a reference to one of its named elements, but in this case the StyleSelector has set the Style and I have not been able to find how to get access to the style, and thus the ControlTemplate.

Thanks in advance,

George

Hello George,

In this case setting a style utilizing style selectors is not  different from setting the Style property manually, so you can access it by checking the property. However, I wouldn't advise you to do this, because getting the setter that sets this control template wouldn't help you very much. You'd better try iterating the visual tree to find the element you are seeking for and access it from there. Please, refer to the attached example property.

All the best,
