Remarks

You can use this class to programmatically manipulate an out-of-browser application window at run time. However, in Silverlight 4, an application can have only one window, which is created automatically. To retrieve this Window instance, use the Application.MainWindow property. You can use this instance only if the application is currently running outside the browser. The properties of this instance are initialized from the corresponding WindowSettings properties in the application manifest.

You can set the properties of this class only in response to user-initiated actions unless the current application is a trusted application. For example, you can change the window size in a button Click event handler.

In trusted applications, you can remove the window title bar and border, and optionally, use rounded corners. For more information, see How to: Configure an Application for Out-of-Browser Support.

Without a title bar and border, however, there are no Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons; and users cannot drag the window or its edges. You can replace the missing functionality by using the WindowState property and the Close, DragMove, and DragResize methods.

In Silverlight 5, trusted, out-of-browser applications can create multiple Window instances and manipulate them programmatically. This is useful to support flexible, multi-monitor layouts and to create features such as non-modal dialog boxes and tear-off windows.

To create and display a new window, you must programmatically call the Window() constructor, configure the instance, and then set its Visibility property to Visible, as shown in the Example section below. At a minimum, you must configure the instance by setting its Height, Width, and Content properties.

You cannot create a Window instance in XAML, nor create a Window subclass. However, you will typically set the Content property to a new instance of a user control that you define in XAML, as shown in the example.

On creation, a Window instance is automatically added to the Application.Windows collection, where you can access it later. This includes the Application.MainWindow instance, which is always the first item in the collection.

When a window is closed either by the user or by the Close method, the instance is removed from the Windows collection and the instance becomes invalid. If you want to reuse a Window instance, handle the Closing event, set Cancel to true, and then hide the window by setting its Visibility property to Collapsed.

The Application.MainWindow value differs from additional Window instances in the following ways:

  • The main window is created automatically and configured using settings in the application manifest.

  • The main window controls the lifetime of all other windows. When the main window closes, all additional windows close automatically.

  • The Visibility property has a default value of Visible for the main window and Collapsed for all other windows.

  • The TopMost property is meaningful only for the main window.

  • Only the main window can have a WindowStyle property value of BorderlessRoundCornersWindow.

Examples

The following Silverlight 5 code examples show how a trusted, out-of-browser application can display an arbitrary user control in a separate window. These examples require a UserControl subclass named DemoUserControl.

The following code example shows how to create a window that will be used one time. Each time you create a new window with this code, it is added to the Application.Windows collection and given a unique Title based on the number of windows currently in the collection.

If (Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser AndAlso _ 
    Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions)

    Dim newWindow As New Window With
    {
        .Title = "Demo Window # " &
            Application.Current.Windows.Count.ToString(),
        .Height = 300,
        .Width = 300,
        .Top = 0,
        .Left = 0,
        .Content = New DemoUserControl(),
        .Visibility = Visibility.Visible
    }
End If
if (Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser && 
    Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions)
{
    var newWindow = new Window()
    {
        Title = "Demo Window # " + 
            Application.Current.Windows.Count.ToString(),
        Height = 300, 
        Width = 300, 
        Top = 0, 
        Left = 0,
        Content = new DemoUserControl(),
        Visibility = Visibility.Visible
    };
}

By default, you cannot reuse a window after it is closed. To display and hide a single window multiple times, you must set its Visibility property and cancel its Closing event, as shown in the following code example.

Private Sub ShowHideDemoWindowButton_Click(
    sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)

    If (Not Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser OrElse _ 
        Not Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) Then Return

    DemoWindow.Visibility = If(DemoWindow.IsVisible,
        Visibility.Collapsed, Visibility.Visible)

End Sub

Private _demoWindow As Window
Private ReadOnly Property DemoWindow As Window
    Get
        If (Not Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser OrElse
            Not Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) Then Return Nothing

        If _demoWindow Is Nothing Then
            _demoWindow = New Window With
            {
                .Title = "Demo Window",
                .Content = New DemoUserControl(),
                .Height = 300, .Width = 300, .Top = 0, .Left = 0
            }

            AddHandler _demoWindow.Closing,
                Sub(sender As Object,
                    e As System.ComponentModel.ClosingEventArgs)
                    If (e.IsCancelable) Then
                        e.Cancel = True
                        _demoWindow.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed
                    End If
                End Sub
        End If

        Return _demoWindow
    End Get
End Property
private void ShowHideDemoWindowButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (!Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser || 
        !Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) return;
    DemoWindow.Visibility = DemoWindow.IsVisible ?
        Visibility.Collapsed : Visibility.Visible;
}

private Window _demoWindow;
private Window DemoWindow
{
    get
    {
        if (!Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser || 
            !Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) return null;

        if (_demoWindow == null)
        {
            _demoWindow = new Window()
            {
                Title = "Demo Window",
                Content = new DemoUserControl(),
                Height = 300, Width = 300, Top = 0, Left = 0
            };

            _demoWindow.Closing += (sender, e) =>
            {
                if (e.IsCancelable)
                {
                    e.Cancel = true;
                    _demoWindow.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
                }
            };
        }

        return _demoWindow;
    }
}
