Wpf panel layout - one child, several positions

I am working on a WPF panel derivative with custom layout logic and sometimes it might be that component should be visible in two places, when following that layouting logic. Both instances of the same component will be partially cropped. Is it possible to do this - lay out a child component in two different places during the arrange pass?

I think that the panels behaviors are for arrange items in a view, and not for copy the items. I think this is not possible. If you copy a visual element then it will not be the same. If you want get this effect you may use a VisualBrush and paint some region with that, and set to the brush the control that you may want to copy. Using VisualBursh you will see a control copy, but you will not be able to modify it. The other way is using a custom control for making this effect. Other way could be using two different custom panels, both with the same items source (in the case that be the ItemsPanel for some collection).

Hope this answer helps to you...
