XamRibbonWindow and Prism4 Shell
posted

Hi,

I am using the Prism4 framework for my project and upon creating the base shell window I wanted to use the shell window as the xamRibbonWindow. This is because I wanted to have the ribbon in the caption area like office 2007 and not just have it as a "Menu" as it is now.

When using the xamRibbonWindow visual studio reports an issue stating:

Base class 'Infragistics.Windows.Ribbon.XamRibbonWindow' specified for class 'Shell' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Window' of one of its other partial types.

Is there anyway around this? Can I overcome this by setting the shell window style to None (not display the normal window chrome)? if so how would you suggest adding the max/min/close buttons on the top right corner?

Thanks

    Here is an example how it should look like:

    **XAML:

    <igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow x:Class="WPF_XamRibbonWindow_Header.Window1"
     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"  
     xmlns:igRibbon="http://infragistics.com/Ribbon"
     Title="Window1" Height="200" Width="400"
     >
        <igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost>
            <igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.Ribbon>
                <igRibbon:XamRibbon Name="XamRibbon1">
      .
      .
      .
                </igRibbon:XamRibbon>
            </igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost.Ribbon>
        </igRibbon:RibbonWindowContentHost>
    </igRibbon:XamRibbonWindow>


    **Code behind:

    public partial class Window1 : XamRibbonWindow
    {...}

    Thank you,
    Sam
