  • Article

Provides types for implementing the user interface (UI) for a control's custom design time.

The Microsoft.Windows.Design.Interaction namespace provides classes for creating custom context menu items, adorners, and user gestures. Derive from PrimarySelectionAdornerProvider to implement an adorner provider for the selected element on the design surface. Derive from PrimarySelectionContextMenuProvider to implement a MenuGroup for a context menu. Derive from the Task class to implement gestures like drag-and-drop.
