Loop through items created by datatemplate by a listbox

Question

In my wpf project I'm using a datatemplate (which consists of a textblock) as an itemtemplate to my listbox. The itemsource is a List of which there are 6 items. How can I loop through the 6 textblock's that are created at runtime?

Thanks

Why do you need to access the controls? Wouldn't you be able to modify them as required using binding against the data source? — ZombieSheep
What are you trying to accomplish by looping over those textblocks? — Nuffin

Do not do it.

Bind everything you need to change to your items and then just change the bound properties, messing with template controls is never a good idea, especially with virtualizing items controls where they may not even exist for all items.

(What you should not use: ItemsControl.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem)
