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 DeleteHelper Represents a class that can be used to delete an [System.Activities.Design.EditingContext] object.
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. It also includes transient state consisting of context items including the set of currently selected objects as well as the editing tool being used to manipulate objects on the design surface.
Public class ErrorReporting Represents a class that can be used to generate error messages. This class cannot be inherited.

Public class TypeCollectionPropertyEditor Represents a dialog editor that enables editing type collection properties. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class UndoEngine Provides undo and redo operation implementations for designers.
Public class UndoUnit Represents a single unit of undoable work. Such a unit is added to an undo stack, and methods are provided to traverse the stack and perform an undo action on each unit.
Public class UndoUnitEventArgs Represents the argument that is passed to the UndoUnitAddedevent() event.
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.
Public class WorkflowDesigner Provides a designer canvas which renders the visual representation of a workflow model as it is being designed.

Enumerations

  Enumeration Description
Public enumeration BreakpointTypes An enumeration that represents types of breakpoints.
Public enumeration OrderTokenConflictResolution An enumeration that is used to specify the winner of ordering ties. A winning ConflictResolution marker should be used only on predefined, default OrderToken instances to ensure their correct placement in more complex chains of order dependencies.
