Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Retrieves a set of objects that are located within a specified point of a window's coordinate space.
Namespace: System.Windows.Media
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function FindElementsInHostCoordinates ( _
intersectingPoint As Point, _
window As Window _
) As IEnumerable(Of UIElement)
public static IEnumerable<UIElement> FindElementsInHostCoordinates(
Point intersectingPoint,
Window window
)
Parameters
- intersectingPoint
Type: System.Windows.Point
The point to use as the determination point.
- window
Type: System.Windows.Window
The window to search within.
Return Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<UIElement>
An enumerable set of UIElement objects that are determined to be located in the visual tree composition at the specified point and within the specified window.
Remarks
You must specify some window for the window value to specify a frame of reference.
For most operations, you will generally be interested only in the first UIElement in the set, which is the element that is visually the topmost rendered element for the visual composition. Any other objects in the collection do not correspond to what would be reported as the source if the user clicked that point area (for instance the user clicked on an enabled and focusable control).
FindElementsInHostCoordinates is fundamentally similar to the HitTest methods in previous versions of Silverlight and in WPF.
