Feature Background

Status: In-progress
Tracking Issue: #12

This tool is available on the Quick Access Toolbar #38, and is the little rectangular icon within the segmented control. Whichever element is selected via the editor caret or the live visual tree will then be highlighted with its boundaries and metrics shown.

Technical Info

PR #42 needs to close first before further work can continue. This may involve some further improvements to the base WCT Labs Adorners found here: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/tree/main/components/Adorners

You can also look at Document.Design.xaml.cs within the main XamlStudio project to learn more.
