I'm looking into creating custom controls for WPF and I've found some reasonably useful blogs and such that vaguely go into enough detail but I'm still struggling a bit.

Basically, what I'm trying to create is something akin to the infamous 'Coda Slider' but i just don't know enough to get started properly. Can anyone either point me in the direction of someone/somewhere to give me the low-down on creating custom ItemControls or provide me with the basic information like what ItemsControl members i need to override?

All help would be graciously received.
