Item counts in PivotViewer

As much as I like the PivotViewer control, displaying a total count of filtered items is a useful feature that does not exist in the current control, which is why a while ago I added it as part of the breadcrumb at http://pivot.lobsterpot.com.au.

Today I saw this post on the forums http://forums.silverlight.net/t/247694.aspx/1?Get+the+information+that+are+currently+on+the+filter+panel and it reminded me about a feature I never got around to finishing, but I thought I might post here. This function drills through all the controls to return the count displayed next the to facet item name:

/// <summary> /// Gets the current count of a facet item /// </summary>
private int GetFacetItemCount(string facetName, string facetItemName)
{
	int count = 0;
	Grid partContainer = (Grid)this.GetTemplateChild("PART_Container");
	var GridFilter = ControlHelper.GetChildObject(partContainer, "FilterPaneRoot");
	var categories = ControlHelper.GetChildObject(GridFilter, "PART_CategoriesContainer");
	var accordionItems = ControlHelper.GetChildObjects(GridFilter);
	foreach (var accordionItem in accordionItems)
	{
		//facet name
		var categoryText = ControlHelper.GetChildObjects(accordionItem, "m_categoryName");
		foreach (var cTxt in categoryText)
		{
			var facetTextBlock = ControlHelper.GetChildObject(cTxt, "PART_MainTextBlock");
			if (facetTextBlock.Text == facetName)
			{
				var itemsControl = ControlHelper.GetChildObjects(accordionItem, "m_facetItemsControl");
				foreach (var item in itemsControl)
				{
					var btns = ControlHelper.GetChildObjects<button>(item, "PART_FacetSelectorButton"); foreach (var b in btns) { var textBlocks = ControlHelper.GetChildObjects(b, "PART_MainTextBlock"); foreach (var textBlock in textBlocks) { if (textBlock.Text == facetItemName) { var cardinalityCount = ControlHelper.GetChildObject(b, "PART_CardinalityCount"); Int32.TryParse(cardinalityCount.Text, out count); return count; } } } } } } } return count; }</button>
