Rename ControlTemplate in Expression Blend


We are working at training some of our Flash animators in Expression Blend.

One thing that has caught them up is that there is no way to rename a ControlTemplate from the UI once you have created it--I only see how to do it in code and XML freaks them out.

Here is a screenshot:

New Template

Once you go past this screen, the name you choose can't seem to be changed in Blend's UI.

We are using the VS 2012 Blend+Sketchflow preview, but I can't see how to do it in the copy of Blend that comes with VS 2012 or Blend 4 either.

Does anyone know if it's possible? If not, are there any cool extensions out there for Blend?


Solution

  • Have a look on the Resources tab. It will list all resources in scope of the currently open document and you can rename from there.

    Either right-click > edit, or double click the name of the resource.
