Name	Value	Summary
FindChild<T>(DependencyObject, string)	T	Finds a Child of a given item in the visual tree. static

GetAncestors(DependencyObject)	IEnumerable<DependencyObject>	Finds all Ancestors of a given item on the visual tree. static
GetChildObjects(DependencyObject, bool)	IEnumerable<DependencyObject>	This method is an alternative to WPF's `VisualTreeHelper.GetChild` method, which also supports content elements. Keep in mind that for content elements, this method falls back to the logical tree of the element. static

GetVisualAncestor<T>(DependencyObject?)	T	Tries to find and returns a visual ancestor, starting at the leaf. If element is not of `Visual` or `Visual3D` the logical ancestry is used. static
GetVisualAncestry(DependencyObject?)	IEnumerable<DependencyObject>	Returns full visual ancestry, starting at the leaf. If element is not of `Visual` or `Visual3D` the logical ancestry is used. static
IsDescendantOf(DependencyObject, DependencyObject)	bool	static
TryFindFromPoint<T>(UIElement, Point)	T	Tries to locate a given item within the visual tree, starting with the dependency object at a given position. static
