title: How Can I Use the Visual State Manager in Blend for WPF Applications?
body: <p>When creating a control style &amp; template in Blend for a <strong>WPF</strong> application, I want to take advantage of the Visual State Manager. How do I do this?</p>
  
  <p>Whenever I right-click over the button and select Edit Template, Create Empty ... nothing shows up in the States panel.</p>
  
  <p>When I do the same for <strong>Silverlight</strong> application, the typical states show up in the States panel.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible in Blend somehow? Or do I have to add all of this xaml manually?</p>
