Question

I thought i’d try out some WPF Metro using Mahapps.Metro and have come across the error:

The attachable property WindowCommands was not found in type MetroWindow

I have included the packages from nuget and have the following xaml:

<Controls:MetroWindow x:Class="WpfApplication1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:MahApps.Metro.Controls;assembly=MahApps.Metro"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Window.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Colours.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Fonts.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Controls.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Accents/Blue.xaml" />
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Accents/BaseLight.xaml" />
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Controls:MetroWindow.WindowCommands>
        <Controls:WindowCommands>
            <Button Content="settings" />
        </Controls:WindowCommands>
    </Controls:MetroWindow.WindowCommands>


    <Controls:MetroContentControl>
        <Button Content="Blah" Height="20" Width="150" />
    </Controls:MetroContentControl>
</Controls:MetroWindow>

and the code behind:

using MahApps.Metro.Controls;

namespace WpfApplication1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : MetroWindow 
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

I am attempting to get the title bar like the one on the documentation here.

Any ideas?

Build your project.

Your code seems OK. It seems you might have not build your project after the references were added.
Does this error still persist?
