教你如何制作Silverlight Visual Tree Inspector

Silverlight中有Logic Tree和Visual Tree之分。比如在Xaml中定义了所有UI的logic结构，相当于模型。而运行时，显示的是UI的实际的物理结构。举个例子Button实际上是由更细粒度的UI如border和rectangle绘制成的。这里教大家制作一个 Inspector来动态检查Visual Tree的结构。先看一下实际效果(请按Inspect按钮)：

效果不错，感觉有firebug的风范 :) 接下来看看关键技术。

高亮显示。很简单就是一个红色的Rectangle，当鼠标移动时把它放在当前UI Element的位置，设置相应的Position和Size就OK了。
如何获得UI的Visual Tree。使用VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(DependencyObject)可以获得所有Child Visual UI，通过VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(int)一一提取出来。最后递归调用所有子节点就可以反应出层次结构。
如何获得UI的坐标值。网上搜了一下发现UIElement.TransformToVisual可以办到。

感觉没啥更深奥的东西了，实际代码也就50行不到，你可以将左边栏换成自己的UserControl，检查一下他的Visual Tree是什么样子的（秉承个人博客的作风就是要精简巧妙，希望大家喜欢）
