I am using Telerik in a WPF app and am using their Drag/drop manager. Everything is fine, except I want to get rid of that pesky arrow that appears before the rendering of the template view.
I am attaching a screen grab using their WPF demo on the drag/drop demo. The area that's highlighted with the red rectangle is NOT part of the template you specify in telerik - and I want to hide it.
Any help would be, of course, very greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Visual Studio's Live Visual Tree is great for inspecting UI elements. But how can I inspect a tooltip in my application?
I turn on "Enable Selection" in the mini-toolbar that appears that the top of my WPF application's window, but with that turned on, tooltips no longer appear.
If you make the tooltip visible first, it will disappear when you move the mouse to the mini-toolbar.
So this is a Catch-22. Any thoughts appreciated.
Live Visual Tree is a new feature in Visual Studio 2015, I'd say they are very late in catching up for giving tools for WPF Developers.
Please send a bug in Microsoft Connect.
I would recommend to look at Snoop The WPF Spy Utility. It will give you the ability to inspect the tooltip and it's well tested working tool.
I agree with the Snoop recommendation.
If you are new to Snoop, I would add that a valuable hidden feature is to hold down Shift+Ctrl as you hover over your app. This will allow your Snoop window to zero in on the exact element quickly, without the need to manually navigate your visual tree.
You will actually want to snoop the element that has the ToolTip property set, not the ToolTip itself. For example, if the ToolTip is on a TextBlock, simply navigate the Tree on the left (or use the Shift+Ctrl tip) to that particular TextBlock. The ToolTip itself does not need to be showing on the screen. Then on the right side in the Properties Tab, you can filter down to the ToolTip property. If the ToolTip property happens to have a binding, you can see the binding from Snoop as well.
I have some addin for VS2010 which displays window with some many panels. I'm using Avalon docking manager to handle all panels manipulation.
My problem is that all items (listboxs or items control) within the my window can't get focus, even when I'm clicking on them directly. this problem is expressed when i'm trying to use mouse wheel in order to scroll the scrollViews in my window.
Just want to mention that when I'm using my window in a stand alone application (not as VS2010 addin) everything works.
Any idea? Is this Avalon problem?
It's seems to be bug of Avalon.
Updating to latest version fix the problem.
I'm a WPF newbie and, unlike WinForms, I have a hard time to setup things in the design window.
My first obstacle is the Image control. After I drag it in the Design window it disappears and there's no way for me to edit its properties (like with the button control for example). The only way to make changes is via the XAML code which isn't very visual and intuitive.
Is there a way to keep editing the Image control in design mode? (example, move it around, select it to view its property panel, etc.)
All you should need to do is give the image control a fixed height and width and it should stay in the designer.
The best thing about the XAML is which separated from code for better re usability like asp.net. It's best you to learn different layouts such as grid, wrappanel, stackpanel etc. Then, you will feel the power of xaml. Else, you can choose the XAML building tools.

Am looking to implement a detach and popup UI behaviour in my applcation.
It basically means that I will be displaying say, a stackpanel with lot elements on the right side of my page. And on a button click, I want the stackpanel part to popup(removing its allocated space in the UI) and should be able to move it above the underlying wpf UI.
What am trying to do is that remove the stackpanel from its parent grid on button click and add it as the child of wpf popup control. But I am facing some issues doing this way. However I just want to know whether I am doing it in the correct way or do anyone have a good alternative for implementing this pin out functionality am specified here?
Thanks,

How about using this kinda nice control, AvalonDock, which is simulating Visual Studio's dockable components behaviors?

It will spare you the pain of developing such a specific functionality, and will have a great reusability anyway
I have a need to create an interaction in wrap panel to allow drag and drop functionality of items. I generate content in wrap panel dynamically with XMLDataprovider. I was not able to find any similar interaction online. How can this be achieved?
Check out the work done by Martin Grayson. It is an open source project on CodePlex titled Blacklight. There should be both an SL version and WPF version doing what you need to do via the Drag Dock Panel, with source available to get a better understanding on how it is implemented.
To see the sample from above, click WPF then click Drag Dock Panel on the lower left.
EDIT: It appears that default WPF support was stripped in 4.3, however jump back to 4.2 and both the binaries and source have their respective WPF offerings.
