Drill down in free form designer or sequential workflow designer

Hello,

When using the State Machine workflow designer, after you add a supported activity (e.g. EventDriven) to a State activity, you can double click on the child activity and the State Machine workflow designer will update; all the top level states will be hidden and the user sees just those activities that are children of the selected activity (e.g. EventDriven). For example, if you have a State Machine workflow with five State activities, and the first state Activity contains a StateInitialization and an EventDriven activity, if you double click the EventDriven activity, the workflow designer will change, showing just the EventDriven activity and all of its children activites. This effectively provides a way to drill down on activities, as an alternative to the sequential workflow designer's notion of expanding and collapsing composite activities.

Is this ability possibile in the Sequential Workflow designer, if I extend the SequentialWorkflow class with my own class, and attribute this class with a DesignerAttribute of another class that extends SequentialWorkflowWithDataContextDesigner? Or is there any other way to achieve this? What about when the free form designer infrastructure is available in Beta 2; will it be possible to create similiar designer behaviour as what's availabe in the State Machine workflow designer?

Thanks,

Notre
