I'm working on a C# WPF application, based on some XAMLs. As I'm trying to do some modifications on the layout, I've decided to work with the Live Visual Tree.
As you can imagine, this is rubbish: which Grid
stands for what?
Now, after giving each Grid
its x:Name
, this is what I have:
This is far more readable and proves that customising the Live Visual Tree is possible.
Now I would like to customise "a bit" further: I would like to display the RowDefinitions
and ColumnDefinitions
in the Live Visual Tree too.
Is this possible and how can I do this? I'm thinking about something like this:
<Grid x:Name="Grd_Headers">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"><!-- flag_show_in_Live_Visual_Tree--></RowDefinition>
As mentioned in the URL concerning Blend, I have observed that the "Blend"-related checkbox was checked in Visual Studio installer:
However, when opening a XAML file while designing, I don't see the corresponding image of the Tools
panel: my "Toolbox" looks as follows:
... which looks like a regular toolbox.
When checking the menu "View", "Other windows", I don't see anything called "Blend" or something.
What do I need to do in order to see any "Blend"-related tools?
Even after having downloaded and installed Blend, it looks like a simple Visual Studio in a dark mode, but the typical Blend GUI is not present, as can be seen from the following screenshot:

It seems that you have not opened the correct Blend for Visual Studio.
Please search for Blend for Visual Studio in the search bar of the taskbar first.
Then create wpf to see if it meets your requirements:
