Device panel disabled in Visual Studio 2012

Question

Hello,

I've got a stupid issue with Visual Studio 2012, am developing an application for Win8 Metro but when I try to use the device panel on the left, all buttons and combos are disabled.

Suggestions :

• I'm editing a Xaml document
• I'm not in debug mode
• Already close/opened
• Already flagged all kind of supported rotation possibilities in the Package.appxmanifest

--------------------------------------- edit

Ops, I forgot the question.. Can anyone help me find a way to enable items in panel?

All helps will be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Device Panel is only available while in Split or Full Design View Mode.

I was already in split and full design, I compiled the solution, closed, re-opened today and it was all okey.. O_o

Really strange, thanks anyway
