You may want to try using VisualTreeHelper. The properties on ItemsControl itself will only allow you to get the data its bound to, not the template instances used to visualize the data, while VisualTreeHelper allows you to browse around the visual tree as WPF has rendered it.

If you iterate through the parent ItemControl's visual children (recursively), you shouldn't have any difficulty locating the text boxes you are seeing on screen.
