Visual Studio 2015 introduced many tools for debugging and diagnostic. We have seen excellent feature for inspecting and debugging XAML UI, which enables great capability for developers to Visualize and modify the XAML UI within a running application and review the dynamic changes. We have also seen the In-App XAML Inspection Toolbar , that allow access to the Live Visual Tree and Live Property Explorer directly from the App.

In the recent updates of Visual studio also introduced “Track focused elements” that track the changes in your app, and select the element in the Live Visual Tree automatically.

It has three following options

Go To Live Visual Tree.
Enable Selection
Display Layout Adorners
Track Focused Element
When the “’Track focused element” is selected, whenever you change the selection in control inside the App, the Live Visual Tree reflects that.
