    I know it's not a finished product, but they are calling it RC, so it should be close to finished. Anyway, in the .NET 2 framework, a main window was separated into well known areas such as status bar area, toolbar area, document area, etc. I see nothing of that now. Have I totally missed something, or am I supposed to sit and tweak stuff like that "by hand"??

      Hi Jorgen I'm not too familiar with WPF just yet, but a quick search turned up this post[^] that talks about the different positioning techniques available in the WPF toolkit.

      Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit. I'm currently blogging about: And in this corner, the Party of Allah The apostle Paul, modernly speaking: Epistles of Paul Judah Himango

        Thanks for the link! I'm sure there must be some "idioms" for creating "old school" GUIs. I tried using some of the layout stuff, but buttons and whatnot I put in it, just wouldn't render. I admit it's late, I'm tired, and have a fever. Maybe I'm just delerious? :-D

          Believe me, it's not easy. I've been 'playing' trying to create a user control that mimics an Outlook navigation pane and so far it's taken me 2 weeks to just get the layout 75% right. Trying to do layout in code (C# or XAML) is long winded and error prone. Which leaves the VS Designer which seems far from finished.
