Is there a way to get the cells out of a ListView?

My ListView is bound to a data source, and it works. But, I need to programmatically set a selection. I can certainly do this with the ListView.

BUT

I'm using ViewCells. Upon selection I change the appearance of the cell on WinPhone via the Cell.Tapped event to make it look selected. I could do this programmatically, if I could find the correct ViewCell in the ListView...but I don't see a Children or Items property, or something like that.

Is there a way to get the cells?
