I don't believe it'll work. Unless something has changed recently,
you can't have a positioner without a box. I tried doing something
similar to this a while ago and the crosshairs smeared themselves all
over the image every time the got moved. You can force things to
redraw but then you lose preformance.

I finally ended up using a Canvas object and drawing my own
crosshairs.
