Configuring FastWPF

After successful installation, you will be able to use FastWPF. Open any XAML file and FastWPF will automatically load the preview.

It is recommended that you check the FastWPF settings once for the project.

Application Resources

The first selection box specifies which application resources are to be used. Usually the App.xaml of the application is to be specified here. This will load application styles and resources automatically.

64 Bit or 32 Bit

FastWPF automatically tries to select the correct platform for your application. Make sure that the correct platform is active for your project.

Language

If your project works with different cultures and languages, you are able to select a desired language for the interface thread. this way, the texts used will appear in the desired language.

DesignerProperties

WPF has long had the feature built in that code can be checked to see if the code itself is currently running in design mode. With this option you can determine how the designer should behave. You can also react in the code whether you are in designer mode.

DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(this);

Enable Designer

If you currently do not want to preview your xaml file, you can quickly disable the preview without further ado. If desired, this can quickly reactivate the preview.
