flotable Window demo

In Silverlight beta Microsoft provide us a Control called Childwindow.

Childwindow it just like we use Midi form in Desktop Windows Application or child form in base form window or you can say that Multiple form in one page but when we use silver-light ChildWindow Control it disable the parent Form. thats mean`s you can not work on parent form before close child-windows and you can not open Multiple child window in parent page to use them like flotable Windows or panels.ChildWindow has to be the top-most element in the Xaml. thats why its always on top and disable all parent controls .silverlight provide us another control for popup its called Popup Control so i just add ChildWindow in Popup as Child and open and close the popup thats i got base and beautiful functionality Childwindow like Floating ,dialog and i can interact with parent form as well or open Multiple childwindows in one form
