Silverlight ChildWindow for WPF

Question

is it possible to make a ChildWindow like ChildWindow in Silverlight, but for WPF? I tried to adapt the Silverlight ChildWindow to WPF but ran into issues with Transformations and not being able to set the Popup's Parent. I'm trying to make something that works simular so I do not have to add code to the XAML for popups. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Just derive from Window and call ShowDialog from the parent window.

Answer 2

Have a look at the BubbleBurst Sourcecode. The GameOverView does exactly what you are looking for.

Answer 3

See the ChildWindow control thats available in the Extended WPF Toolkit here http://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=ChildWindow&referringTitle=Home
