Add Window to DocumentContainer

[Uwe Porsch]

Hi,

I saw the sample how to open CustomControls via code into a MD DocumentContainer within this thread:

https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/166896/wpf-documentcontainer-mdi (sample WpfApp28_a013ba-958063303)

I tried to open Windows in this way, but ever get an error message.

Is there a way to open Windows via c# code (not embedded within the XAML code) ?

Thanks and regards

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

We have prepared sample to meet your requirement “Adding controls as a document to the DocumentContainer via code behind”, please check the sample and let us know whether it is helpful.

Code snippet :

ContentControl contentcontrol = new ContentControl();

            contentcontrol.Content = "Content of ContentControl";

            DocumentContainer.SetHeader(contentcontrol, "Document");

            documentContainer.Items.Add(contentcontrol);

If we have misunderstood your query, please share more details about your requirement.

Regards,

Durga

Thanks Durga,

it should that my request was not clear.

In the sample I found in https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/166896/wpf-documentcontainer-mdi (sample WpfApp28_a013ba-958063303)  customcontrols where added (UserControl which looked the same as a window).

            UserControl1 user = new UserControl1();

            documentContainer.Items.Add(user);

My question is, is it also possible to add a window direcly.

I added the orginal sample, where I tried to add the sales window and end in an exception.

Hi Uwe,

We checked the shared sample that “Adding the Window to Document Container” that exception throws at the end. We have tried the same with the MS TabControl by adding another window to the control as child. It also throws the exception in MS TabControl. Please find the MSDN link for the same.

Please let us know if you any concerns on this.

Hi Sudharsan,

thanks for the information. So I will create my Windows as UserControls and then it should work.

I will try it.

Hi Sudharsan,

it is okay for me. It is not what I expected. MDI should be better in Winforms (what I did before).

Thanks for your help.
