XAML Spy Preview 3

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

XAML Spy Preview 3 is here. An overview of the changes in this release below.

Property grid

This release adds property sorting and filtering to the property grid. Sorting enables sorting the properties in the grid alphabetically or categorized. Use the property filter to reduce the amount of displayed properties, for quick access to the properties you are interested in. The filter is applied to property names and supports multiple properties, separated by a comma. The following image demonstrates filtering on width and height properties of a visual element.

The content view has been updated to display a preview of text and image content. Use the mouse wheel to zoom images in and out.
