Add controls to the toolbox in Visual Studio

Open steskalja opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

When will the controls be added to the toolbox for drag and drop support like WPF and Xamarin? This would be huge for users that are inexperienced with the AvaloniaUI control set.

Agreed, I would love to see this!

I've been having a play with how this might be possible and have a simple WIP that kind of works but its nowhere near ready.

Right now it's very hacky with hard-coded toolbox items, but I'd like to use reflection to find any type in the solution that inherit from IControl. I'm going to dig into the WPF source to find out where they define control categories as I'd like to support something similar.
