I asked this question also on the MSDN forum and got a good answer :
private bool IsUserVisible(FrameworkElement element, FrameworkElement container) {
if (!element.IsVisible)
return false;
Rect bounds = element.TransformToAncestor(container).TransformBounds(new Rect(0.0, 0.0, element.ActualWidth, element.ActualHeight));
Rect rect = new Rect(0.0, 0.0, container.ActualWidth, container.ActualHeight);
return rect.Contains(bounds.TopLeft) || rect.Contains(bounds.BottomRight);
}
