This guide shows how to do that using Blend: http://www.designerwpf.com/2008/02/07/the-wpf-designers-guide-to-styling-the-com... I hope that helps, Stoyan I tried working on the textbox and combobox using the Blend app, but man oh man, is it me or is that thing the most convoluted thing ever made? I have no idea how it works and I am fairly savvy and have used complex authoring tools such as Maya and Softimage for years.

	8) You can always define the template in plain XAML. You can find a sample template here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFBusinessAppsPartTwo.aspx Stoyan

I think that Blend was just so overhwelmingly confusing and poorly designed that it's quite a put off. You can tell that whomever designed Blend really thought they were clever, it uses so many UI constructs that are almost nice, and borrowed heavily from apps like Houdini, Maya, Softimage and many other 3D Modelling suites that came out a decade ago. Yet somehow MS managed to butcher these things and throw them all into one giant and muddled interface without providing a clean and obvious way to use them. Oh well, XAMLPad will have to do for now.

With them, the InteractiveTable sample looks like this Code private void diagram_CellClicked(object sender, CellEventArgs e) { _comboBox.SelectedIndex = 0; _row = e.Row; _col = e.Column; _table = e.Table; diagramView.BeginEdit(e.Cell); } private void diagramView_CreateEditControl(object sender, InPlaceEditEventArgs e) { TableNode.Cell cell = e.Item as TableNode.Cell; if (cell != null) { RectangleF docRect = e.Item.GetEditRect(PointF.Empty); _comboBox.Bounds = diagramView.DocToClient(docRect); _comboBox.Visible = true; e.EditControl = _comboBox; for (int i = 0; i < _comboBox.Items.Count; i++) { if (_comboBox.Items[i].ToString() == cell.Text) { _comboBox.SelectedIndex = i; break; } } } } private void diagramView_DestroyEditControl(object sender, InPlaceEditEventArgs e) { if (_col != -1 && _row != -1 && _table != null) { _table[_col, _row].Text = _comboBox.Items[_comboBox.SelectedIndex].ToString(); } _comboBox.Visible = false; } The events let you use any Windows Forms control as an editor for nodes, links and table cells. I'm afraid we don't have plans to develop combo and edit controls ourselves, so you still need to find some 3rd party controls to use as editors. Stoyan This has worked out quite well. The only problem i am having is that once you're in edit mode, TAB no longer takes you out of edit mode. It seems to take focus off the control but the edit mode remains and the Destroy event doesn't get fired until you click outside the cell area.

	Well I handled it by handling the lostfocus event and calling EndEdit on the diagram View. Works, but requires some extra code for every control being used. not a biggy, just something I wanted to mention. Thanks again!!!!

	We can enable this as the default behavior. But then the user might want to copy/paste some text from a different control on the form without closing the editor, or you might use a composite control as an editor and let TAB move between the child controls there.

Great point! You thought through it more than I did. It's fine as is then.
