Hi Everyone,

I have used main window which is having employee details and also having one child window. In parent window i have one button for employee achievements. when i click the button the achievements descriptions opened in child window. It works fine. But when i minimized the child window i need to access my parent window. Child window is used only for reference.

Can anyone please suggest me the solution.

Regards,
Arunkumar M

instead of

fullView.ShowDialog();

You can have App.Current.Windows with you,with the help of this, you can find out your mainWindow(based on name or based on window name)and get it activated or get it shown by below mentioned code in your child window

C#

foreach (Window win in App.Current.Windows)
            {
                //In case of "Mainwindow" here you can set your respective Mainwindow object in wpf
                if (win.GetType() == typeof(MainWindow))
                {
                    win.Activate();
                    break;
                }
            }
