Hi I have a WPF application with various UserControls that contain key functionality. I want to be able to show say a FileManager UserControl in a tab on the main application, or have a dialog pop up when required, that contains the same UserControl.

It seemed like a good idea to create a modal Window and set its Content to the FileManager Usercontrol. But when I am finished with it, I am not sure how to close the containing Window, using a button on the UserControl. Is there an elegant way of doing this without having to store a reference to the Window in the UserControl?

Thanks for any advice!

    Is closing a window something that is integral to the functionality of the control in all the contexts where the control is hosted? E.g Does closing a window apply to the case where the control is hosted in a tab of the main app?

    If not then you might be better off separating window closing code out of the UserControl in into the window/dialog that is hosting it – using events or whatever to tie the two together.
