Modifying look/behavior of the new Popup control (ChildWindow) in Silverlight 3

Question

I would like to remove grey header of the new Popup control in Silverlight 3.

Any ideas if this is possible?

Answer 1

Pretty easy, just edit the default ChildWindow style.

1. In Blend 3 create a new Item of type ChildWindow. (Right Click on the Project --> New Item --> Select ChildWindow from the list)
2. Right click on ChildWindow in the "Objects and Timeline" pane --> Edit Template --> Edit Copy.
3. Navigate to the element named "Chrome" inside the default template and change the Background to whatever Brush you'd like.

Answer 2

Did that really work for you, vidal? I tried it and it didn't show me anything - neither chrome nor window. I don't want to use Blend, so if you come up with anything else - please let me know. TIA

Styling is the best way to do it, but you can also remove it by setting Title="" HasCloseButton="False" on your ChildWindow.
