You can modify an element by using the element handles that appear on the artboard when you move the pointer over the corners of the blue box that surrounds an element. When a margin adorner is closed, a margin adorner displays an unbroken chain, and elements move with the margin as the layout container is resized at run time (the margin remains fixed). When the margin is not set, elements remain in place when the layout container is resized at run time. When a margin adorner is open, a margin is not set and the margin adorner displays a broken chain. Use margin adorners to change the margins of an element relative to its layout container.

You can set the margins of a control by using the Margin properties under Layout in the Properties window. Margins represent the amount of fixed space between the edge of a control and the edge of its container. For more information about manipulating controls in Design view, see Work with elements in XAML Designer. When you resize a control, width and height values typically appear to help you size the control. Resize handles appear on selected controls and enable you to resize the control. The mini-toolbar enables you to set sizing options for Grid rows and columns.

When you add a new row or column line for a Grid panel that has two or more columns or rows, a mini-toolbar appears outside of the rail that enables you to set width and height explicitly. You can add a new column or row by clicking in the Grid rails. Grid adorners are used to control the width and height of a Grid's rows and columns.

When you drag a Grid adorner, the widths or heights of adjacent columns or rows update as you move the mouse. The vertical Grid rail, which appears on the left of the artboard, is used for rows, and the horizontal line, which appears at the top, is used for columns.Ī Grid adorner appears as a triangle that has a vertical or horizontal line attached to it on the Grid rail. You can create and delete rows and columns, and you can adjust their relative widths and heights. Grid rails are used to manage rows and columns in a Grid panel. Alignment boundaries appear only when snapping to snaplines is enabled. Snaplines are alignment boundaries that appear as red-dashed lines to show when the edges of controls are aligned or when text baselines are aligned. These features are available in the artboard: This illustration shows the artboard in Design view. For more information, see Work with elements in XAML Designer. You can use it to visually design a page in your app by adding, drawing, or modifying elements. In Design view, the window containing the artboard is the active window and you can use it as a primary work surface. You can use the Swap Panes button to switch which window appears on top: either the artboard or the XAML editor. With a XAML file open in Visual Studio or Blend for Visual Studio, you can switch between Design view and XAML view by using the Design and XAML tabs. XAML Designer provides a XAML view and a synchronized Design view of your app's rendered XAML markup. To open the XAML Designer, right-click a XAML file in Solution Explorer and choose View Designer. These include the artboard (which is the visual design surface), XAML editor, Document Outline window (Objects and Timeline window in Blend for Visual Studio), and Properties window.

The workspace in XAML Designer consists of several visual interface elements. For more information, see the XAML Hot Reload page. NET MAUI XAML UIs and edit them while the app is running, use XAML Hot Reload for WinUI 3 /. NET MAUI XAML designer is not supported in Visual Studio 2022.
