Live Visual Tree

[michael-hawker]

Feature Background

Status: Stable

The Visual Tree selector is at the top of the Live Properties panel #44. It can be used to navigate up and down the visual tree easily with a small preview of the parent and children of the currently selected element.

Selecting a parent/child will cause that element to be "selected" within the context of other editor systems. Moving the caret to another part of the XAML Document in the editor though will then re-change this selection to that element instead.

Technical Info

If you're looking to help improve this feature, the code for the visual tree can be found in the XamlStudio project's Properties.xaml.
