RemarksThe Palette control represents a tool palette that displays DiagramItem objects grouped into categories. It implements Accordion user interface that displays ItemListView components as its child panels, and category icon, title and collapse/expand button in pane headers. Each child ItemListView displays the items added to its corresponding category.
Call the AddCategory method to define a category and create its respective accordion pane. Call AddItem to add an item to specified category. The control can also be populated by setting ItemsSource to a list of PaletteCategory objects.
Palette provides same behavior and appearance properties as the ItemListView class.
Drag-and-drop operations create a copy of the dragged item, and set its size to NewInstanceSize. The copy is created by calling item's Clone method. You can override Clone to copy property values of custom item subclasses.
