Examples
By default, you cannot reuse a window after it is closed. To display and hide a window multiple times, you must set its Visibility property and cancel its Closing event, as shown in the following code example. This example requires a UserControl subclass named DemoUserControl. Additionally, this example will work only in a trusted, out-of-browser application targeting Silverlight 5.
Private Sub ShowHideDemoWindowButton_Click(
sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
If (Not Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser OrElse _
Not Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) Then Return
DemoWindow.Visibility = If(DemoWindow.IsVisible,
Visibility.Collapsed, Visibility.Visible)
End Sub
Private _demoWindow As Window
Private ReadOnly Property DemoWindow As Window
Get
If (Not Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser OrElse
Not Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) Then Return Nothing
If _demoWindow Is Nothing Then
_demoWindow = New Window With
{
.Title = "Demo Window",
.Content = New DemoUserControl(),
.Height = 300, .Width = 300, .Top = 0, .Left = 0
}
AddHandler _demoWindow.Closing,
Sub(sender As Object,
e As System.ComponentModel.ClosingEventArgs)
If (e.IsCancelable) Then
e.Cancel = True
_demoWindow.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed
End If
End Sub
End If
Return _demoWindow
End Get
End Property
private void ShowHideDemoWindowButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (!Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser ||
!Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) return;
DemoWindow.Visibility = DemoWindow.IsVisible ?
Visibility.Collapsed : Visibility.Visible;
}
private Window _demoWindow;
private Window DemoWindow
{
get
{
if (!Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser ||
!Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions) return null;
if (_demoWindow == null)
{
_demoWindow = new Window()
{
Title = "Demo Window",
Content = new DemoUserControl(),
Height = 300, Width = 300, Top = 0, Left = 0
};
_demoWindow.Closing += (sender, e) =>
{
if (e.IsCancelable)
{
e.Cancel = true;
_demoWindow.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
};
}
return _demoWindow;
}
}
