Is there a way to know when my framework tree (ancestor) has chang

I've written a control which when rendering needs to look up the tree to find
an ancestor (parent, grandparent, etc.) that holds information which the
control needs in order to render. The problem I've run into is that even
after EndInit() I still can't traverse up the tree to find this ancestor
since it appears EndInit() is called after XamlReader.Load(). However, this
loaded element has not been added to the tree yet. For example:

..
..
..
element = XamlReader.Load(stream);
this.Content = element;
..
..
..

How can the controls which are contained in the xaml which is loaded be
notified when I add that loaded element to tree?
