If you are using a DataTemplate to display the items in the GridView, I have found the simplest way is to capture Tapped, Hold, etc.. event on the DataTemplate's control that holds all the item.

In the event you can code

private void ItemTapped(object sender, TappedRoutedEventArgs e)
{       
    var clickedItem = (sender as FrameworkElement).DataContext;
}

That will give you the object within the item that was clicked.

Assuming you're using ItemsSource with your GridView, you can use e.ClickedItem to get the DataContext of the GridViewItem you clicked. If you want the actual GridViewItem you can use

GridViewItem item = (sender as GridView).ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(e.ClickedItem) as GridViewItem;

Then you can use VisualTreeHelper.GetChild to dig down as necessary (like to find a TextBox).

Try this code.

<GridView x:Name="gv" SelectionChanged="gvSelectionChanged">
    <GridViewItem>
        <TextBox x:Name="txtOne" />
    </GridViewItem>
    <GridViewItem>
        <TextBox x:Name="txtTwo" />
    </GridViewItem>
</GridView>

private void gvSelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    var SelectedText = ((TextBox)((GridViewItem)gv.SelectedItem).Content).Text;
}
