Just as you design your own user interface (UI), or look and feel, for WPF or Silverlight applications, you can provide your own UI for data managed by <b>DockControl for WPF and Silverlight</b>. Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML; pronounced "Zammel"), an XML-based declarative language, offers a simple approach to designing your UI without having to write code.</p> <p><strong>Accessing Templates</strong></p> <p>You can access templates in Microsoft Expression Blend by selecting the <a href="C1.WPF.Docking.4~C1.WPF.Docking.C1DockControl.html">C1DockControl</a> and, in the <b>Object</b> menu, selecting <b>Edit Template</b>. Select <b>Edit a Copy</b> to create an editable copy of the current template or select <b>Create</b> <b>Empty</b> to create a new blank template.</p> <div style="WIDTH: 100%"> <table class="hs-box"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="hs-box-icon" valign="top"><img src="images/hs-note.gif"></td> <td class="hs-box-content" valign="top"><b>Note:</b> If you create a new template through the menu, the template will automatically be linked to that template's property. If you manually create a template in XAML you will have to link the appropriate template property to the template you've created.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p> </p> <p>Note that you can use the <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms592524" target="_blank">Template</a> property to customize the template.</p> <p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="" text/javascript""=""> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
