Window Designer video

You can follow any one of the links below to see a video on working with the new Designer and some of the more interesting features. I had intended to post the video on Friday, but Camtasia 3.x decided it would no longer run on my machine, instant crash as soon as the splash screen appeared. Somewhat odd because Camtasia had run fine the day before and the only changes to the machine were some "critical" security updates from MS. But then again that wouldn't be the first time that an MS critical update interfered with another unrelated program. Rather then fool with it I just upgraded Camtasia to the latest version and crossed my fingers, luckily for me MS must like version 4.x. I apologize that the audio has a few bumps in it. I lost my preferred microphone while in Australia for DevCon, and so I reverted back to another one that is missing the little acoustic sock that's supposed to minimize unwanted sounds.

I found that Camtasia couldn't record the little blue positioning indicators that you'll see in the screen shots below (hence the screen shots).

The video was recorded in 1024x768 resolution, and was output in a few formats/sizes:

. at 1024x768 in Flash format at 100% original quality
. at 800x600 in Flash format at 75% original quality
. at 1024x768 in WMV format at 100% original quality

Bob,

You might try ticking the "Capture layered windows" box on the Capture tab in the Camtasia Tools Options window.

Thanks for the tip Jane. I should have guessed it could record those as I used its' sister product SnagIt to get the screenshots I posted.

Bob,

Thanks for the post. It really looks good. One idea for your consideration (like you don't get engough of these <g>). When you were showing the drop down list of controls on the properties window, it would be helpful if as you run down the list the highlighted control could get selected (or emphasized) in the design window, of visa versa, the selected control(s) would be emphasized in the drop down.
