I want to modify itemscontrol template to modify not how each item apears but the actual itemscontrol
<ItemsControl
ItemsSource="{Binding RB}" Grid.Row="1"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource myBTemplate}">
<ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<StackPanel></StackPanel>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
I have this and it's works fine, I get a stackpanel behaviour of items and my custom data template for each item but I can't find a way to modify the container. Let's say to put the title into my items list without doing so outside itemscontrol. and if i do set ControlTemplate items no longer get displayed. (This Itemscontrol is part of an upper level DataTemplate)
After Clemens comment i searched more on Items presenter rather that ControlTemplate.
Found i just needed to add items presenter somewhere in the ControlTemplate with no special tag just respecting tree format.
<ItemsControl
ItemsSource="{Binding RB}" Grid.Row="1"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource myBTemplate}">
<ItemsControl.Template>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ItemsControl}">
<StackPanel>
<Grid Margin="5" Height="50">
<Ellipse Stroke="DarkBlue" StrokeThickness="2">
<Ellipse.Fill>
<RadialGradientBrush Center="0.3,0.2" RadiusX="0.5" RadiusY="0.5">
<GradientStop Color="Azure" Offset="0.1" />
<GradientStop Color="CornflowerBlue" Offset="1.1" />
</RadialGradientBrush>
</Ellipse.Fill>
</Ellipse>
</Grid>
<StackPanel >
<ItemsPresenter Margin="2,0,0,0"/>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</ItemsControl.Template>
</ItemsControl>
