How to Access the TextBlock of TitleBar in WPF Ribbon?

Overview:

This guide explains how to access the TextBlock within the TitleBar of Syncfusion’s WPF Ribbon Window. This is useful for scenarios where you need direct control over the TextBlock to apply customizations or retrieve information.

Implementation Steps:

Define the RibbonWindow in XAML:

<syncfusion:RibbonWindow x:Class="MyApplication.MainWindow"
                          xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                          xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                          xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"
                          Title="Default Title"
                          Loaded="MainWindow_Loaded">
    <Grid>
        <!-- Ribbon content goes here -->
    </Grid>
</syncfusion:RibbonWindow> 

Access the TextBlock in the TitleBar using this code:

private void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     TitleBar bar = this.Template.FindName("PART_TitleBar", this) as TitleBar;
     if (bar != null)
     {
         // Accessing the textblock maintained in titlebar. 
         TextBlock textblock = Syncfusion.Windows.Shared.VisualUtils.FindDescendant(bar, typeof(TextBlock)) as TextBlock;
         // Modify the properties of the TextBlock to highlight the text.
            textblock.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Yellow); 
      }  
}

Code Explanation:

Template.FindName: This method locates the PART_TitleBar element defined in the RibbonWindow’s control template.
VisualUtils.FindDescendant: Searches recursively for a TextBlock within the TitleBar hierarchy.
Customization: You can now modify properties of the TextBlock, such as Text, FontSize, Foreground, etc.

Conclusion:

Accessing the TextBlock in the TitleBar of a RibbonWindow gives you control over its content and style. This method is particularly useful when default customization options are insufficient.
