• Windows Live Developer Forums Shape editing in VE SDK

  I do not see the WLL shape editing (scratchpad, polygon draw and edit) functionality in the VE SDK... 1. Is it somewhere else or not yet available 2. If not yet available - is this something we can expect in the VE SDK Cheers! Your code is helping me to do the same. Little bit changes & things r going on. But the drawing mode never stops.

So, how do u come out of the drawing & do other work & the polygon just resides on its location. In ...Show All
