I noticed you can rearrange Controls in the outline window of Visual Studio 2010 like this:
However if you select a Component there is no way to move it up or down:
Those buttons get disabled.
I am wondering how you could rearrange them and maybe sort them alphabetically?
Thanks in advance.

So in the past when I clicked on the XAML on a Popup, Visual Studio would show me the Visual layout of the Popup's contents. And I could move elements around just like a normal Window.
I can no longer get this to happen. It was about 5 years since I tried and last time I was using Framework and a different version of Visual Studio.
I'm on Visual Studio 2022, using .NET 6.
Is this no longer supported or am I missing something? In the past if I recall correctly your popup had to have a Height and Width for it to appear in the visual designer, but after trying it, that doesn't work.
I've tried Blend as well with no luck. No options on the Right-Click menu.
I can edit by hand but that takes so much longer than using a visual editor for positioning.
Any ideas?
Is it useful, and how can I toggle it on/off? I would just google it, unfortunately "thing at top of screen in WPF" doesn't really turn up anything useful.
It is a new WPF debugger tool found in Visual Studio 2015 Update 2. It shows the live visual tree which can be very helpful for debugging WPF applications.
You can find the feature in this changelog: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2015-update2-vs.aspx
Edit: To disable this, click the left-most button in the dropdown, and then click the left-most button on the resulting live visual tree panel.
This is driving me crazy. I right clicked on the toolbox and selected all the components under WPF components tab and there are still components missing, such as LinearGradientBrush, RadialGradientBrush etc. Where are the missing components and where can I find their dlls?
This ain't a direct answer to your question but maybe this might help you : Why are you not writing them directly in the XAML rather than using the designer? You'll eventually end up having to write the attributes of it anyway
I'm new to Visual Studio and Blend and i'm trying to see their difference. I thought that Blend was ideal for adding more design and interactivity into your app so i chose to use this in order to create an app about a virtual museum (which i wanted to include design and 3d elements).
So far i have created 2 Grids. The 1st Grid contains a sign in or sign up option(along with its design for which i used Blend tools). The 2nd Grid is the registation form which i wanted the user to be redirected to after the user has clicked the sign up button. I'm trying to make the transition from grid 1 to grid 2 like if i had two windows forms, but i can't seem to find how i can do that. Any ideas on how to do it?
I tried to open it into Visual studio and it doesn't seem to respond that well.I suppose i must do something wrong.
So taken the previous difficulties, i'm wondering whether Blend is not necessary to use to create this kind of app and i could simply use standard Visual Studio's windows form without having problem adding design elements.
Thanks in advance
Visual Studio has all that you need to be able to do your interfaces as you want them to be. As Glen Thomas said, you should learn how to code in xaml to create your interface. Visual studio gives you a render of what it looks like in real-time while coding it so it might be helpful to do it this way.
I'm stuck on crosshairs and can't figure out how to get to an arrow cursor so I can select items on the design surface. I think there used to be a white arrow at the top of every category in the Toolbox, but that doesn't seem to be available in VS 2010.
Please help!
Okay. Turns, out I needed to reset my toolbox. I think Blend may have done something weird to it.
