Re: SmartTag

Jan,

By SmartTag do you mean the little box that shows up in the corner of the
control at design time and drops down a menu-like control with properties?
If this is what you meant then I'm afraid that this feature is not supported
in Cider anymore. However Cider has pretty powerfull extensibility model
based on adornments that can be used to implement this feature.
Download the latest CTP of Cider and look at the docs to see how the new
extensibility model works.

Re: SmartTag

Hi Stoitcho,
yes this is the thing. However, instead of looking for that in Cider, I
would like to write my own application in WPF which could display smart
tags... but I have no idea how to write such smart tag using code...

Re: SmartTag

Jan,

You can create and adorner control (derived form the Adorner WPF class -
this is different than Cider adorners) and have a context menu to drop when
the adorner is clicked or hovered. Ofcourse there is going to be more logic
to that.

What part exactly bothers you?

Re: SmartTag

Well actually I was afraid of drawing or animating not persistent graphics
on the surface. But if I use a control I expect this is not my problem now.
;-)
Thanks for replies.
