I've been playing with customizing a combobox in Visual Studio 2019 preview.
I place a combobox in the xaml with:
<Combobox x:Name="ComboBoxAddNew" Width="200"/>
Then in the Designer, Right-Click on Combobox, Edit Template, Edit Copy.
Choosing "This:Document" UserControl:root.
I'm not seeing the PART_EditableTextBox in the generated code.
Help Please.
All WPF styles and templates can be found in (VisualStudioInstallDir)\DesignTools\SystemThemes\Wpf. For example you can open aero2.normalcolor.xaml and search for ComboBox.

I created a UI by dragging and dropping controls from the toolbox in Visual Studio and got the following as I expected.
And then I modified the XAML to embedded within a proper grid hierarchy. Now all the controls except the menu are not visible in the UI. But I can still select them in the designer as below.
How can I resolve this?
When the WPF window is opened in design view in Visual Studio, the Toolbox pane automatically loads WPF controls into "Common WPF Controls" tab and "All WPF Controls" tab.
Does anyone know how Visual Studio does this?
Seems like they would be loaded through either the Project References or the (more likely) user options saved when you rightclick on the tookbox and choose "Choose Items...".
I would imagine that somewhere, there is a setting where by default when a XAML page is open, it loads a bunch of items in System.Windows.Controls into the Toolbox. If you want, you can deselect those items you dont want, and put different items in the toolbox

You can find it at the Common WPF Controls section in your Toolbox as you can see below. Just drag-and-drop it into your window designer and everything will be okay:
Update
Then do the following steps:
Right click on your Toolbox and click on Choose Items...
Filter the long list on the opened form by typing DataGrid as you can see on the image below:
Is it possible to edit (in design mode) DataTemplate in Visual Studio WPF Designer?.
I know its possible to edit DataTemplate in Blend throug Resources Tab.
But I couldn't find a way to open a DataTemplate in Visual Studio.
Thanks in advance for any hint.
I know it's an old question, but (in VS2015, at least) if you put your DataTemplate in Control.Resources and use "Go to Definition" from the context menu on a StaticResource/DynamicResource ResourceKey it will show that DataTemplate in the designer pane. The only problem is that I haven't figured out how to get back to the main control designer without closing and re-opening the document.
in VS Express 2012, select your ListView or GridView, then click the property marker for "ItemTemplate" and select "Edit Resource"
this worked for me
In VS Express 2012 it works like this:
Right click in the VS designer on your custom control/control template and select from the context menu "Edit Template" -> "Edit copy". This will copy the xaml of the control as a ressource in your active window. There you can easily edit it and e.g. see the grid lines etc.
