That's in Windows Forms, but the question is about WPF.

This should do the trick

XML

public static IEnumerable<T> FindVisualChildren<T>(DependencyObject depObj) where T : DependencyObject
{
    if (depObj != null)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(depObj); i++)
        {
            DependencyObject child = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(depObj, i);
            if (child != null && child is T)
            {
                yield return (T)child;
            }

            foreach (T childOfChild in FindVisualChildren<T>(child))
            {
                yield return childOfChild;
            }
        }
    }
}

then you enumerate over the controls like so

XML

foreach (TextBlock tb in FindVisualChildren<TextBlock>(window))
{
    // do something with tb here
}

You can use this Solution:

C#

private void HideAllControl()
{
  /// casting the content into panel
  Panel mainContainer = (Panel)this.Content;

  /// GetAll UIElement
  UIElementCollection element = mainContainer.Children;

  /// casting the UIElementCollection into List
  List < FrameworkElement> lstElement = element.Cast<FrameworkElement> ().ToList();

  /// Geting all Control from list
  var lstControl = lstElement.OfType<Control>();

  foreach (Control contol in lstControl)
  {
   ///Hide all Controls
   contol.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Hidden;
  }
}
