如何在数据网格组扩展器头中获取父节点

Question

I have a datagrid with grouped data in a WPF application. For the group header, I have a context menu to delete the group. The item source of the datagrid is bind with my object. How to detect the parent/ parents group of the expander header? I have tried to do like this but it returns null.

private void buttonDeleteHeader_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MenuItem menuItem = sender as MenuItem;
    TextBlock header = menuItem.Parent as TextBlock;
}

Grouping of Data

m_infoList = new ObservableCollection<MyDataObject>();
m_infoList .Add(new MyDataObject
        { ID = 1, Attr1 = "Level1",  Attr2 = "Level2", Attr3 ="Level3", Attr4 = "Child1"});
 m_infoList .Add(new MyDataObject
        { ID = 2, Attr1 = "Level1",  Attr2 = "Level2", Attr3 ="Level3", Attr4 = "Child2"});
CollectionView collectionView = (CollectionView)CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(m_infoList);
            PropertyGroupDescription groupDescription1 = new PropertyGroupDescription("Attr1");
            PropertyGroupDescription groupDescription2 = new PropertyGroupDescription("Attr2");
            PropertyGroupDescription groupDescription3 = new PropertyGroupDescription("Attr3");
            collectionView.GroupDescriptions.Clear();
            collectionView.GroupDescriptions.Add(groupDescription1);
            collectionView.GroupDescriptions.Add(groupDescription2);
            collectionView.GroupDescriptions.Add(groupDescription3);

Do this :

MenuItem item = sender as MenuItem;
ContextMenu ctxMenu = (ContextMenu) item.Parent;

// ctxMenu.Parent will give you `Popup` 

TextBlock tb = (TextBlock) ctxMenu.PlacementTarget;

To traverse the levels, you can use RelativeSource and its AncestorLevel property if you are using Binding , and programmatically you can use VisualTreeHelper class and traverse up like this :

 DependencyObject parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(tb);
 while (parent.GetType() != typeof(Expander))
        parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(parent);

Use Snoop tool to inspect the visual tree, and traverse accordingly.
