Make child windows resizable

[Levvy055]

Make it available to change size of Child Window.
By:
-grabbing borders
-using grip in corner

[Levvy055]

Using for example:

Height = ActualHeight * 20;
UpdateLayout();

is not changing anything

Sorry, I know this was 8 years ago, but is it possible now?

It is possible but not out of the box. You will need to add the logic to you UserControl you want to show.

I know you from Avalonia, how are you doing? =D

My UserControl in that case is a Window. I just take the Window Content and put this in the ChildWindow content. The idea is to open a ChildWindow instead a Window as ShowDialog. Is it still possible to resize?

PS: I know it is not the best place to ask, but... MahApps/SimpleChildWindow is avaliable on Avalonia via XPF?

Hi @marcosgerene

I'm fine, thx. Yeah I started using WPF and MahApps back than and it is and was a pleasure. But when M$ decided to not really invest in it anymore, I looked into alternatives for it.

You could create a control named ResizeContainer (or what ever), add it as first child and your window content goes into resizeContainer.Content. Should be possible.

Oh I don't know this. Reach out to the team to get a demo license to test. But I maybe this is not so easy as it requires the Window to be MahApps style iirc. So probably easier to adopt the code to make it a real Avalonia control.
