Hi,
I want to create a project (basically a Suite) with different applications created in WPF.
So the question is I have tiles called Project1, Project2, Project3.
I want to have a Click button so that when i Click the Launch in the Maximized Tile of Project1 (created in WPF), to actually run that project1 in that Maximized tile, is it possible.
Any Suggestions or help appreciated.
Thanks,
AK
Hi AK,
The only thing you can put inside the tiles are FrameworkElements. If your projects are actual EXE applications then it won't be possible to run them inside the tile. I don't think it's possible with WPF in general to be able to run an application directly inside a UI control that is part of a different application. Your projects will need to be UserControls or some kind of custom control that would contain the UI for the project. Then when you click on the button you can just create an instance of the UserControl/custom control and set it to the tiles content.
Hopefully I understood what you are asking for. If not let me know.
Thanks Rob, so the tile cannot start the instance in it, though it can be launched using diagnostics or like you suggested the Custom Controls.
Thanks Again,
There's nothing stopping you from making the tile start a new application on a button click. You just can't run that application directly inside the tile. The application will run inside it's own window. You can only display objects that derive from the Control class inside the tile.
