Question

Can an user control be loaded in a child window in Silverlight 3.0?

Answer 1

so far the most you seem to be able to to do is change the color and position and size of the window. I am still searching for other sources though.

Edit*

My apologies for the long response time. I have continued searching the web for different sources hoping to find a solution to your problem. However all I have been able to find to date is:

I’ve seen a few comments/requests incoming lately that people like the ChildWindow control in the Silverlight 3 SDK. This is a great control that creates a modal dialog for you. When you use it, it disables your root layout application and shows the dialog you provide:

This is great for those true modal needs. It responds to normal windows DialogResult type responses if you have buttons, etc. – great for error dialogs, logins, etc. The request I’ve been seeing is for the same functionality, but in a ‘normal’ ChildWindow.

But most sites seem to say that the child window can have either the the size, position, color, dimensions, inner text modified and the childwindow itself can be used as a user control. but nothing definite about having user controls loaded into the window. Apart from the link I posted,

Hope this helps you out.

Answer 2

Yes it can, through the Content property of the ChildWindow. This can done in the code behind or via XAML.

Also, take a look at the Floatable Window project on CodePlex. It extends the ChildWindow by enabling it to be resized among other things.
