Using the XAML-Designer from VS2012, I need to implement custom visual designers for our WFP-Controls. We're now working with .NET framework 4.0.
We are looking for the following functionalities:
- Drag the custom container from the toolbox inside a XAML ContentControl.
- Inside the container, add our custom controls from Toolbox, and have acces to context-specitif information (Custom container's properties).
- Have our own data-representation-window (sort of additional tool window), with availability to comunicate with the previously created container and controls.
I've been reading through the documentation for a couple of days, all samples and Walk-thoughts refer to the System.Windows.Forms, and not to the Systems.Widows.Controls that I need. I could not find any XAML-related documentation.
A sample control + designer would be more than welcome, same for toolbox and control's interraction.
(We had something similar, but with less funtionality, for VS 2010, but the code does not work anymore. Classes have moved inside packages, and the whole extensibility concept seems to have changed).
