Is it possible to make custom control draw its controls dynamically?

I want to create a custom control by which the control can draw controls in it by a dependency property value.
To make it clear, we have a custom control like in the following:

XML

<mycustomcontrol mypropery="TextBox"></mycustomcontrol>

My expectation is to draw a control(here is textbox) inside MyCustomControl according to the value of "myproperty".
Is something like this is posibble guys?
Thanks!

Of course it is possible. What have you tried so far?
Only "to draw" sounds incorrect. You either insert UI elements into a logical tree, or do direct graohics rendering, but it has nothing to do with "its controls".

It is possible, but you shouldn't do it. In your particular case you should add textbox to your custom control controls collection, not draw it from nothing.
