Remarks

UXWindow is a full-featured windowing control that provides all the user interface elements required in a window such as title bar, control box, option buttons, chrome border, content area and more. It gives you complete customization over its look and feel, allowing you to create commercial-class user interface applications.  

The following illustration shows the user interface overview of a window control.

As seen in the above illustration, UXWindow does not only provide the user interface and styles, but also implement the behaviors and user experience aspects such as 8-edge resizing mode, active and inactive state, drag and drop, and context menu.

For more information about user experience implementation in windowing and other ClientUI controls, see User Experiences Overview.

To show a window, you set its IsClientVisible property to true. If you use MVVM pattern development, you can bind this property to control the window's visibility in your ViewModel. For more information about MVVM pattern, see MVVM Pattern Overview.

The following example shows how to show a window when the desktop control is loaded.
