QuestionClosing a static WPF Window from other Window instances. Pin
Stephen Holdorf23-Aug-16 3:23

My problem is very difficult to describe but this is what I am trying to do. See all code below. What I have is a parent WPF Window that has a child View, created as a UserControl, added to the parent Window in it's markup. Now the problem is this. When a row, on the child UserControl View's GridView is clicked I want to close the child view's parent (Window) then navigate to an entirely new Window and open it. When I click the row I get the error 'Invalid cast exception". See below:

Static class defined in the same namespace:

C#
public static class closeWindow
{
    public static object WinObject;

    public static void CloseParent()
    {
        using ((System.IDisposable)closeWindow.WinObject)
        {
            ((Window)WinObject).Close();
        }
    }
}


Markup in the XAML parent Window page:

<v:savedraftview>


C#
public partial class SavedDrafts : Window
{
    public SavedDrafts()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        LoadMe();

    }

    public void loadMe()
    {
        closeWindow.WinObject = this;
    }

}


Code in the Event contained the child view.

// From me the child view, open a new window and close my parent Window.//


                Intake1 window = new Intake1();
                window.Show();

                closeWindow.CloseParent();
