I have a set of controls that I want to share between two different containers, one ViewStack and one Repeater. I create the controls inline as children of the ViewStack and then I pass their references to a custom ItemRenderer in the Repeater. In the custom ItemRenderer I add them as a child.
When I inspect the parent property in the debugger I see that it is the itemRendererer and not their original parent. Is that to be expected? Can a control be a child of more than one parent?
