Some of you already know I have this weird fascination about extending applications. In the past I’ve worked with many customer extending things like Sharepoint, Office, Visual Studio, Operating Systems functionality, that sort of things (yeah, I know, I’m a web guy, but hey, I can have fun sometimes too!). Well, one of the last thing I was played for some months was the very unknown and unsupported Microsoft Expression Extensibility Model. Yes, those programs used by User Experience designers, Web designers and even Video maniacs. There are a few of tutorials and blog posts about how to do it (and I’ll mention them as a contribution for their hard work and help through my nights understanding how all of this work), well, I will try to detail some specific extension points through Expression Blend 4.
- The basics
- The first extension
- Commands
- Menu and Logging
- Panels
- Windows
- Configuration and Options
I hope you enjoy reading this small set of blog posts as much as I enjoyed writing it. As usual I’m open to suggestions and feedback, feel free to write a comment.
