Wizard-set properties for a target created from an existing target

When you create a WPF Window Application target from an existing target, most of the wizard fields are the same as those for creating a target from scratch, but a few fields are added or changed. This table describes only the new or changed fields.

Added wizard fields for a WPF Window Application target created from an existing target
Wizard field	Description
Target	Location of the existing Win32 or Windows Forms target (PBT) file. Example: `C:\pb12apps\myapp.pbt` When you enter the target, the library list displays the names and locations of its library (PBL) files.
New location and target file	By default, the wizard specifies a target with the same name as the existing target but with a PBTX extension. The default location is a wpf subfolder within the existing target's folder. Example: `C:\pb12apps\wpf\myapp.pbtx` If you prefer a different target, change the default value.

Modify target properties in the Properties dialog box for the target. Enter and modify properties for projects in the Project painter.
