Do you have a specific view in mind? If so tell us which one as there is
no generic way AFAIK. See IViewPart for what you may do.

A view (being a Composite) has a getChildren method that returns an
array of Controls.

Maybe we all talk about different things here. When creating the example
view in a newly plugin project, the type SampleView is a descendent of
WorkbenchPart and not of Composite. The only SWT related thing is its
createPartControl method which gets a composite to put its children into.
But there is neither an api nor a hack to get this parent from the outside.

Am I missing something or do we speak about different things here?

When you create a view, copy the parent from
IViewPart#createPartControl(...) into a member variable.

If you mean is there a way to get the SWT controls for a view you didn't
write (like the Problems View), I'd guess no.
