When using ItemsControl ItemsControl.ItemsPanel is set to Canvas, ContenPresenter comes in and break my Canvas properties on the children [WPF]

Question

I am using an ItemsControl where the ItemsPanel is set to Canvas (see this question for more background information). The ItemsControl is performing as I want, and it works

Answer 1

there are several solutions coming to my mind:

1. use a layout/rendertransform instead of the attached property
2. use margin instead of the attached property
3. derive from ItemsControl, and override the behavior how the child containers are generated. (GetContainerForItemOverride, IsItemItsOwnContainerOverride). This article is explaining quite nicely how it works: http://drwpf.com/blog/2008/07/20/itemscontrol-g-is-for-generator/
