How do I access the UI elements within an ItemsControl?

I have subclassed a Silverlight ItemsControl into a SlideShow control. This works fine when I hard-code the item elements in the XAML directly. But if I use a DataTemplate, how do I access the UI elements for each item?

Parse through it with a foreach statement?

eg:

foreach (ChildObject c in ParentObject.Children)

The ItemsControl may create new items for them as items come and go, so you have to use ItemsControl.Items to get each data item, then use ItemsControl.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem (or other methods on the ItemContainerGenerator to find the UI element for that item that was created by the DataTemplate
