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?

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

see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.itemcontainergenerator(v=vs.95).aspx

Parse through it with a foreach statement?

eg:

foreach (ChildObject c in ParentObject.Children)
