WPF Set Window Title from Child

Question

If I have a UserControl hosted in a Window that looks like:

<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
>
    <Grid>
        <ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

How do I set the Window.Title from the UserControl?

An additional requirement is that the UserControl can pull and set the window title from a static resx file such, i.e. {x:Static p:Resources.MyViewTitle}

Edit

After doing some more research, I think Attached Properties might be the answer. How might I go about implementing a Window.Title property that I can place on any child UserControl, allowing me to set the Window title?

Answer 1

You could create an event for the UserControl that the parent window subscribes to.

Answer 2

(Untested): Use VisualTreeHelper.GetParent to traverse the visual tree upwards until you reach an object of type Window. Then set the Title to Resources.ResxFileName.MyViewTitle (should be available in Code due to the auto-generated Resource classes).

Answer 3

The answer is to create an attached property. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2176655/creating-a-window-title-attached-property/
