I am new to WPF. I want to do something like this:
I have multiple dialogs in an application. I have created one theme with the required background, title bar and close button I want for all dialogs. Whereas, all dialogs size, and controls for them will differ.
For example: DialogWindow is a theme I have created for Window control.

On MainWindow (where I apply this DialogTheme), I can see this theme.
But when I try to add controls on it, they do not show up on the theme.

<Window x:Class="Example.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Height="391" Width="616"
    Style="{DynamicResource DialogWindow}">
    <Window.Resources>        
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="Themes/DialogsTheme.xaml" />
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Window.Resources>
</Window>

I am not sure, what is going wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

    Finally got an answer, ContentPresenter is a thing required, which works as client area for window theme.

    <ContentPresenter Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" x:Name="ClientArea" />
