# Property Grid Template Parts

## Content



In Microsoft Expression Blend, you can view and edit template parts by creating a new template (for example, click the [C1PropertyGrid](/componentone/api/wpf/online-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1PropertyGrid.html) control to select it and choose **Object** **| Edit Template** **| Edit a Copy**). Once you've created a new template, the parts of the template will appear in the **Parts** window:

Note that you may have to select the **ControlTemplate** for its parts to be visible in the **Parts** window. In the Parts window, you can double-click any element to create that part in the template.

Template parts available in the **C1PropertyGrid** control include:
