Is there a datagrid mouse down hit test to get the row and column index of the click?

With Winforms' DataGridView, one could use HitTest to determine the column and row index of the mouse down (and other events). 

Dim hti As DataGridView.HitTestInfo = sender.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)

Is there something similar with WPF's DataGrid? I need to get the row and column indexes for the MouseLeftButtonDown event.

    You will have to use the VisualTreeHelper class to traverse the Visual elements that make up the DataGrid as explained above.
