I would like to perform a rectangual hit test on WPF Canvas component in order to get Controls that are overlapped by a Rectangle framework element. I found a Silverlight’s VisualTreeHelper.FindElementsInHostCoordinates method, but apparently it’s not available in WPF.
What’s the best method to achieve such functionality?
The closest equivalent is VisualTreeHelper.HitTest. It works significantly differently to Silverlight’s
FindElementsInHostCoordinates, but you should be able to use it for your needs.
