Adding Custom Control to Cider Toolbox - Is it possible?

Hello-
Is it possible to add a custom WPF control to the Cider toolbox I have tried creating a WPF custom control library and then pointing the toolbox "Choose Items..." wizard at the compiled dll, but it just reports that there are no control that can be added. Is this feature supported in Cider Beta 2 (May) If so, how are custom controls added I have done a lot of searching on the web, but no luck.
Thanks for any help,
Bill

    Hi Mark,
    I was wondering if there is a way to extend Cider to be able to draw basic graphic primitives(line/arc/rectangle)
    Also I was going through Visual Studio Extenstions where I came across samples for adding controls to Toolbox by creating VS Packages. Can Cider be extended in similar fashion
    Thanks,
    Nir.

    Yes it is. I'm sorry I haven't scheduled the work yet so I can't tell you exactly when but we are definitely planning to do it - mark

  • paulconstantine

    I'm afraid this isn't possible at present. You have to add the control in XAML view

    This will be possible once you can add controls to the toolbox, until then it isn't - mark
