I am tasked to develop a Tab control which would dynamically load another xbap. The only way I see possible is that add a WebBrowser object to the tab, and make that browser navigate to the 2nd xbap. So the structure will be a browser contains xbap which contains another browser with another xbap.
Is it the best practice with that structure?
Thanks!

I wrote an ExtJS application like this:
the sub menu is dynamic added by clicking the button on the left.
The question is :
as the sub panel is created dynamically, so if I refresh the whole page, the panel will go away.
What I expected is it could still display the same content before refresh pages.
So, my question is how to handle this in ExtJS?
Do I need to record the current panel information into Ext.App?
ExtJS is a framework to build Web Applications that run inside the browser.
With Web Applications, just like normal applications, you don't close the program and start it anew (like a browser refresh does) just because someone wants to switch to a different toolbar or look at different data. You work with multiple panels, switch between them, and/or open windows.
You could for instance generate multiple panels inside a container with card layout, and bring to front the panel that you want to show right now.
If you have a license that allows you to use Sencha Architect, there is a nice "navigation" sample available in Architect from where you can start and look at how it's done.
I have a Silverlight application and I am trying to make each step of a wizard in XAML files, instead of hard-coded C#.
The problem is that I don't understand how I am going to switch between them after click on next button of each screen.
What is the best way to do this? I saw some tutorials on the internet about XAML dynamically loaded but none of them seem to work with me :/
Use a ChildWindow as your parent window. Then create multiple UserControls which will be framed in the content of the parent window. In the code-behind of the parent window, load the user controls into a list and set the visibility to 'Collapsed' for all of them but the first. When the user presses the Next/Prev buttons, pull the appropriate UserControl from the list (keep track of the current index) and make it 'Visible' while making the current control 'Collapsed'.
All of your navigation code will be in the parent window, but the parent window won't be concerned about the content of the wizard steps itself.
Each UserControl can be coded in XAML as a separate control so you still maintain a separation of the control from your wizards navigation logic.
You can then create a class type that will hold all of the options for the various wizard controls. Pass a reference to an object instance to each of the controls for them to update. When you get to the end of the wizard, your option object should maintain the state of all the wizard steps and the parent window can return that to the application.
I would suggest looking into the Silverlight Navigation Framework. It allows you to use "urls" to navigate between "pages" (which are your XAML user controls). It also also users to use the back and forth buttons in the browser, which may or may not be something you want to allow.
There is a VS 2010 template when you choose New Project, Silverlight, "Silverlight Navigation Application" that will help get you started.
I am new to silverlight. I'm trying to convert a jquery tabcontrol page to a SL 4. on my previous page each tab was containing an iframe with its URL to an external page. Let's say, the first one is http://Google.com, the second one is http://Microsoft.com etc.How can i make in SL.
SL 4 introduced a Web browser control which used to be available only in 3rd party offers previously (ComponentOne for instance)
So you just have to add two tabs to your tab control, define a web browser control as the content of each tab and call Navigate to go to a specific Url
Is this possible?
I used a Frame control and:
show(ex:showwindow.xaml)
But I get this error:
root element is not valid for navigation
sure you can navigate (show) a window by using:
YourFrame.Navigate(YourWindow);
However I don't like much this multi-window approach, better create some user controls for segmenting your application.
It is more common to use the Page class with the Frame control. Windows, in WPF are the top level items, with their own titlebar, chrome etc. Also, the Page can tap into the NavigationService provide by the framework.

I would like place a silverlight contol on an HTML page --- something about the size of a typical calendar control. However when the user selects a day on the control a bigger canvas opens up on top of the containing page --- something like a modal dialog box that you might find with the AJAX.
I'm wondering if this is even possible with Silverlight, or is the silverlight content limited in size to the DIV element on the host page?
UPDATE: after doing some poking around, I think the answer will involve using the ChildWindow control introduced with Silverlight 3. However I'm still at a loss how to have the ChildWindow display ontop of the existing content
I know one way, you will need javascript event on the page itself to expand a silverlight object to fit the whole page then build you silverlight event accordingly.
