What is the Silverlight's FindElementsInHostCoordinates equivalent in WPF?

c#, hittest, silverlight, visualtreehelper, wpf

Solution

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.

Problem

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?
