Defining the WPF Window Properties

Every window and control has a style that determines how it appears to the user. Define a window's style by choosing settings in the Window painter's Properties view.

A window's style encompasses its:

Type
Basic appearance
Initial position on the screen
Icon when minimized
Pointer

Note: As in PowerBuilder Classic, use the Properties view to define window properties. You can edit the properties in the XAML view as well, but editing the name in the XAML view may cause object corruption.

Select the window object to display the window's properties in the Properties view.

Choose the category appropriate to the property you want to specify.
