Is it possible to find element in <ContentView.ControlTemplate> by FindByName in this example:

<ContentView.ControlTemplate>
    <ControlTemplate x:Name="ControlTemplateName">
        <Grid>
            <Border x:Name="Scrollbar"/>
        </Grid>
    </ControlTemplate>
</ContentView.ControlTemplate>

Everytime I received null when I try to get Scrollbar reference by this.FindByName<Border>("Scrollbar"), but I can get reference to ControlTemplate by this.FindByName<ControlTemplate>("ControlTemplateName")

Edit: I am using maui 9.0

• What is your end goal with this, what are you trying to achieve with FindByName – FreakyAli Commented Mar 25 at 13:25
• I need to get the Border reference and set its TranslationY. – infinitesimal Commented Mar 25 at 13:27
• Why can you not use a Binding for this? – FreakyAli Commented Mar 26 at 2:00

I think I get it from OnApplyTemplate, in the code behind like this one:

protected override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
    base.OnApplyTemplate();
    scrollbar = GetTemplateChild("Scrollbar") as Border;   
}
