    Remarks

    Starting with version 2.0, MessageBox (and ChildWindow) is derived from WindowControl and no longer manages its parent’s background or the positioning of itself based on its parent’s size.

    A WindowContainer should now be used to contain these controls. It provides an area where WindowControl-derived controls (ChildWindow or MessageBox controls) can be displayed. This is particularly interesting in an XBAP application where windows can't be popped up. In this case the WindowContainer can be sized to fit the application and the window-like control can be moved around in the WindowContainer.

    The WindowContainer derives from Canvas and positions its children according to its size. Many actions performed on its children are managed by the WindowContainer (movement and positioning, resizing, visibility, modal, and mouse click). This will restrict the WindowControl movements and resizing to the WindowContainer’s size.

    When no Width and Height are specified in the WindowContainer, its DesiredSize will be the size of its biggest child.

    Example
    The following example shows how to use a MessageBox and a ChildWindow.
    <xctk:WindowContainer>
  <xctk:ChildWindow WindowBackground="Blue"
                    Left="75"
                    Top="50"
                    Width="275"
                    Height="125"
                    WindowState="Open">
    <TextBlock Text="This is a Child Window" Padding="10"/>
  </xctk:ChildWindow>

  <xctk:ChildWindow WindowBackground="Green"
                    Left="175"
                    Top="125"
                    Width="275"
                    Height="125"
                    WindowState="Open">
    <TextBlock Text="This is another Child Window" Padding="10"/>
  </xctk:ChildWindow>

  <xctk:MessageBox Caption="MessageBox"
                   Text="This is a MessageBox"/>
</xctk:WindowContainer>
