How to access control inside a TitleTemplate of RadPane - silverlight

Question

How can I get a handle for the GridSplitter inside the TitleTemplate of RadPane
<telerik:RadPane TitleTemplate="{StaticResource radPaneHeaderFormat}" ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}" CanDockInDocumentHost="False" x:Name="radPane" Header="HeaderTitle" CanUserClose="False" CanFloat="False" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<DataTemplate x:Key="radPaneHeaderFormat}" ">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" >
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="670" MaxWidth="678"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.1*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button x:Name="ViewButton" Margin="0,0,5,0" Style="{StaticResource LeftArrowButtonStyle}" Click="ViewButton_Click" />
<TextBlock Text="Summary" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.Column="1" />
<sdk:GridSplitter Height="Auto" Grid.Column="2" Name="HeaderSplitter" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Style="{StaticResource newGridSplitterStyle}" />
<TextBlock Text="Note" Grid.Column="3" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="3,0,0,0"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
Can any one help me with this issue.

I don't know from where you want to access the GridSplitter, but, given that you have a Button with a Click event handler, I'll show you how you can access it in there:
private void ViewButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var button = sender as Button;
var panel = button.Parent as Panel;
if (panel != null)
{
GridSplitter splitter = panel.Children.OfType<GridSplitter>().First();
// do stuff with the GridSplitter...
}
}
You will need to add a line using System.Linq; if you don't already have one.
In this case I'm making use of the fact that the button's Click event handler passes us the button that was clicked, and that the Button and the GridSplitter have the same parent.
