I'm trying to close my Main Window from a child window in my WPF application. The problem is, once I try to 'close' the main window, my whole application closes.
Here is my coding from my main window(pgLogin):
Window nextWindow = null;
nextWindow = new pgDashboard();
nextWindow.Owner = this;
this.Hide();
nextWindow.Show();
And my child window(pgDashboard):
public static T IsWindowOpen<T>(string name = null) where T : Window
{
var windows = Application.Current.Windows.OfType<T>();
return string.IsNullOrEmpty(name) ? windows.FirstOrDefault() : windows.FirstOrDefault(w => w.Name.Equals(name));
}
private void HAZEDashboard_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var credentials = this.Owner as pgLogin;
credentials.txtEmailAddress.Text.ToString();
var window = IsWindowOpen<pgLogin>();
if (window != null)
{
window.Close();
}
}
Is there a way to close the main window without hiding it and still keeping open my child window?
Goto to the Applications App.xaml and Change the "ShutdownMode", for example to "OnExplicitShutdown". The default is ShutdownMode="OnMainWindowClose" which results in the behaviour you described.
