Remarks

UXDesktop is an innovative control featuring sophisticated windows management and powerful application management capabilities. UXDesktop can host a collection of window controls ranging from normal window, modal dialog box, window chrome, and other window UI controls that implement IWindow interface.

With built-in windows management features, UXDesktop maintains the consistency of active window, such as seamlessly deactivates the other windows while a new window becomes active. It also provides numerous industry-standards windowing features such as automatic existing instances detection which enables existing window instance to be activated instead of launching a new window for the same object.

The UXDesktop manages the lifetime of all window instances, which includes the window arrangement, the window state management, the window events and command management.

For more information about using UXDesktop in details, see Window and Dialog Boxes Overview. For more information about advanced windowing topics, see Advanced Window Features.

Example
