I'd typically go with the flow but i needed to force a different approach to
the bootstrap, in that I'm building a ChromeConsole for a customer at the
moment and i need to take over the way the first "MainPage" ignites but in a
way that's passive to their existing framework. Eg:
App.xaml.cs
private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
MainPage mainpage = new MainPage();
this.RootVisual = new ConsoleWindow(mainpage);
}
Then in ConsoleWindow.cs
public ConsoleWindow(UserControl innerContent)
{
this.InnerContent = innerContent;
InitializeConsole();
CreateChildren();
}
private void CreateChildren()
{
// Inject the base plate (aka Chrome) for this Window.
this.chrome = new ConsoleWindowChrome();
// Inject the InnerContent into the Chrome.
Panel pnl = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(chrome, 0) as Panel;
pnl.Children.Add(InnerContent);
}
This will ensure I can bootstrap a unique console window and then using a
ConsoleWindowHelper class can enable their developers to interact with various
moving parts of how the screen orchestration can flow.

Subject: RE: Create a child for a UserControl?
Hi Scott,
I did try this once, and while I still think it's possible I failed.
In the end I created a new UserControl using the template, and copied my code
across. It was relatively simple.

Subject: Create a child for a UserControl?
Q. Does anyone know if you can instantiate a Control into a raw UserControl
class, in that if you File->New->MyClass and then inherit UserControl. How does
one new-up a Grid/Panel etc within the construct of that class? (Given it has
no MyClass.Children)
I know you can do it if do MyClass.xaml.cs via that approach, but interested to
know of an alternative approach?
Scott.
