Hi Sajesh, you can use the following helper function that uses the VisualTreeHelper.GetChild() method:

private void GetChildren(UIElement parent, Type targetType, ref List<UIElement> children)
        {
            int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
            if (count > 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
                {
                    UIElement child = (UIElement)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
                    if (child.GetType() == targetType)
                    {
                        children.Add(child);
                    }
                    GetChildren(child, targetType, ref children);
                }
            }
        }

Then call this method like this:

List<UIElement> result = new List<UIElement>();
GetChildren(nameofYourListBox, typeof(ListBoxItem), ref result);

"result" will have the result :). Now you have all the ListBoxItems in a List.

Try using the VisualTreeHelper.GetChild() method in a loop: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.media.visualtreehelper.getchild(VS.95).aspx
