Hi, I'm trying to create an application.

1. When will Vista UI shapes become available?

2. How can I edit the container window "blank form" from the XP library? It won't let me ungroup to see how they set up the controls.

3. How can I create my own container window for an application that can resize without distorting the header?

I've been looking for these answers everywhere. If you have any info, that would be great!

To further clarity, I am creating a shape library so that others can prototype using the shapes i create for them.

Hey,

is it possible to import the XP UI Shapes into the Visio Standard 2003 Version or do i have to bye the Professional Version.

Thanks for your answer.

I'm also looking for information about Visio Shapes. If you are building a download pack or know when Microsoft will have these, I'd love to hear about it.

Nice use of windows dialogs. But I tend to use powerpoint for prototypes, why? because of masterpages and mouseover and mouseout.

Can visio do these?

Visio uses Background and Foreground layers, much like Powerpoint's masterpages. You can also move a clickable shape into the stencil and use it whenever you need it.
