Hi,@Leon NG. Welcome Microsoft Q&A.

If you want to nested Windows, this is not allowed. You could set UserControl to SubWindow instead of Window

Take the following example.

MainWindow.xaml:

 <Grid>
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <ToolBar Grid.Row="0">
                <ToolBar.Items>
                <Button x:Name="AddSubWindow" Content=" AddSubWindow" Width="100" Height="50" Click="AddSubWindow_Click"/>
                <Button x:Name="MoveOutSubWindow" Content=" AddSubWindow" Width="100" Height="50" Click="MoveOutSubWindow_Click" />
            </ToolBar.Items>
            </ToolBar>
        <Border Name="MainBorder" Grid.Row="1">
            <Grid x:Name="grid">
                
            </Grid>
        </Border>
        </Grid>

MainWindow.xaml.cs:

 SubWindow sw = new SubWindow();
        private void AddSubWindow_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            grid.Children.Add (sw);
        }

        private void MoveOutSubWindow_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            grid.Children.Remove(sw);
        }

SubWindow.xaml:

<Grid>
        <Label Content="sub Window"   FontSize="40" Name="label1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="254" />

    </Grid>

The result:
