How to reference another element in the same XAML file?

Say, MyControl is a custom control which have a property of type
Button. How could I set this property to myButton? I think is maybe
like this:

<Button name="myButton">ClickMe</Button>
<MyControl buttonProp="myButton"/>

Re: How to reference another element in the same XAML file?

If buttonProp is a dependency proprty you can use Data Binding:

<Button Name="myButton">ClickMe</Button>
<MyControl buttonProp="{Binding ElementName=myButton}"/>

If its an ordinary CLR property, I think even in this case you'll have to do
it from code-behind.

<Button Name="myButton">ClickMe</Button>
<MyControl Name="myControl" />

myControl.buttonProp = myButton;
