Blend 3 Make Into Control

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:28:13 Z

Im trying to use the new feature in Blend that allows you to make a couplem items on an artboard tand thens elect them and make them into a pre defined control (slide/button..whatever) I cant however seem to find the second satge of the process. I can select my items -> right click -> Select "Make into Control". However I cannot select "Make into Part" where I can select each object I want to become a certain object ion each control (Thumb, track etc).

Im curious what I'm doing wrong, ort is that faeture just not in Blend 3 Preview yet?

Thanks!

Are you working on a WPF or Silverlight project?

The concept of "parts" / VSM is only available for Silverlight project, and WPF if the WPF toolkit is installed.

The answer above is partly correct. In Blend 3 this feature is only available in Silverlight projects and NOT for WPF projects, even if you have the WPF Toolkit installed. We plan to add more support in future versions.

Thanks!
