Advanced Features

Note

The WPF Theme Editor does not support the DevExpress WPF Controls 18.2 or later. Use the WPF Theme Designer tool instead.

In addition to its basic functionality, the XAML Editor provides advanced markup editing features aimed to boost your user experience.

The XAML Editor renders various types of bindings (like StaticResource, DynamicResource, TemplateBinding and Binding) as hyperlinks. Click a link to navigate to the referenced element.

CommonTasks_XamlEditorNavigation

Note that you can use only links located in the style or template selected in the Template Hierarchy panel.

Miscellaneous

You can expand and collapse markup elements by clicking the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons.

UI_XamlEditor_ExpandCollapseMarkup

If a code line is too long to be displayed in its entirety, the XAML Editor displays a hint containing the whole text when you hover over this line.
