Linking (WPF window) button action to other (WPF window) stackpanel?

Question

4.50/5 (2 votes)

See more:

I have two windows. I am wondering if it is possible to link the action of a button in Window1 to a stackpanel which is in th MainWindow.

Such as the button in Window1 should add 1 rectangle to the MainWindow stackpanel?

Just need a hint or something to go on. Havent tried linking buttons and other stackpanels between two seperate windows before.

I am programming in C#.

eg:

this code is for button1 in Window1: (this is just part of the code):

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    string tempDisks = comboBox.Text;
    if (tempDisks == "1")
    {
        stackPanel1.Children.Add(rectangle1);
    }
}

Where stackpanel1 is in the MainWindow.

Thanx for any responses

when you initialize your other window just send the parent window as a parameter and then access it that way for example then you could do m_Parent.FunctionCall();

sorry this might make more sense to you

public partial class SecWindow : Window
{
    private MainWindow m_Parent;

    public SecWindow(MainWindow parent)
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        m_Parent = parent;
        m_Parent.FunctionCall();
    }
}

of course MainWindow would be whatever window you are trying to pass
