If you've been struggling with hosting the WF designer outside of Visual Studio then
there is a new document available on MSDN from Vihang that describes the process in
a little more detail.
I've been doing a lot of work with this over the past couple of weeks. Between the
following sources, I've managed to do pretty much everything I've wanted so should
help you too:
The monitoring application is useful to see how you can adorn the surface with new
glyphs which is pretty cool and used to good effect in that app. (By the way, if you
don't see the monitoring working when you try it, it's probably because the tracking
service is set to 'batch'. The SDK docs mention that the default for batch mode is
false, but it actually seems to be set to true).
I'm looking forward to seeing a straightforward 'readonly' control that visualises
a workflow running and statuses from the tracking database as I don't necessarily
need all of the features of the designer for some applications. (I'd really like to
see a cool WPF control for this...)
