How to open existing WPF windows as DocumentWindows in the standard MDI interface programmatically? In a QuickStart Samples "Custom Docking Windows" it is made in XAML, but not shown how to do it programmatically. Please, give an example of the method "var doc = new DocumentWindow (...)" to open an existing WPF window (file XAML in application). Thanks.

Hi Sergey,

The WPF Window class is intended to be used as a top-level window and not a child control within another Window.  I would recomment that you instead put your window's content in a UserControl and add that as the child of your DocumentWindow.

Thanks!

Is it possible to programmatically put WPF window's content in a UserControl and add that as the child of DocumentWindow?

Hi Sergey,

If you remove the Content from the Window and then put it as the DocumentWindow's Content, that might work.  Both are ContentControls.

Thanks, will try.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
