I’ve read articles that Child Windows in SL3 cannot be set to non-moveable, without creating your own custom window. Was this fixed in SL4? This is a problem, because the user is able to drag windows off the silverlight stage, which seems like an awkard UI design. On my first try I moved it offscreen and was not able to move it back or close it. I do not understand the logic behind leaving out the option to make the window non-moveable.

Is there any other way to prevent the user from dragging a child window off the screen? Or is creating my own custom window the only way.

    I created my own custom Style which gets rid of the close button in the header and stops the moving.
    In your control set: <controls:ChildWindow ... Style="{StaticResource themeChildWindowStyle}"

    You can create the style with Blend pretty easy.

    Here’s a discussion on this topic which has another solution from “friendy1108″ ~”My solution right now is to hide the title bar and make a button to close the child window.
    From the link you sent, I can do this: title.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;” That would do it, but I prefer the style override.
