Ordinary XP-style dialog box in Sketchflow?
I see the value of the sketchy-style prototypes at various points in a project, but I need to develop a higher-fidelity prototype at this time. I am trying to use Sketchflow WPF to simulate a button in a desktop application that pops up just a regular old XP-style dialog box, with the blue header at the top containing a window title, and a close button and help button at the top right. Preferably with the standard associated behaviors, though that's not essential.
This does not seem like it should be hard. However, the assets library includes a sketchy-style window title but not a realistic XP-look dialog title bar. I tried creating a regular window in Blend, which gave me the normal window title stuff, but then that window won't integrate with the rest of my Sketchflow prototype. What am I missing here?The closest I was able to come was along these lines, but it's really not the same:
<UserControl
x:Name="Screen_1_Name"
BorderThickness="3,20,3,3" BorderBrush="FF004E98" Background="White">
Thanks!

- The whole point of Skecthflow is to not do things like this. It is supposed to separate the look and feel from the proposed organization and structure.
- The proposed organization and structure has already been validated. Now we need to communicate a realistic portrayal of the look and feel, preferably allowing somewhat real-looking interaction, but before we are deep into the actual coding. Is Sketchflow the wrong tool for this? We're still evaluating tools and there are certainly others out there.
