Public class CommandValues A commanding interface that is used for integration of workflow designer actions (e.g., context menu) with custom provided implementation - i.e. property browser service, debugging service, etc.
Public class ContextItem Represents a base class from which all context items must derive. This class is abstract.
Public class ContextItemManager Represents a class that maintains a set of context items. Each context item represents a piece of transient state in a designer. This class is abstract.

Public class DragDropHelper Represents a helper class to assist dragging and dropping inside the workflow designer.
Public class EditingContext The EditingContext class contains contextual state information about a designer. This includes permanent state information such as the list of services running in the designer.

Public class WindowHelperService Provides functionalities to register and unregister delegates for event notifications, as well as set ownership for windows.
Public class WorkflowCommandExtensionItem Provides functions to update each workflow's designer command (that is, input gestures collection). You should provide an IWorkflowCommandExtensionCallback implementation to receive notifications.
