Is there anyway I can create a Windows WPF form with custom design of the Close, Minimize, Maximize Button?
Thank you
It'll require pretty much code but you might want to have a look at GlassWindow in FluidKit at CodePlex: http://fluidkit.codeplex.com/
The source code has a custom Window Style looking like this. I've used it once and it works good
Yes you can.

I'm trying to add a "walk-through" mode to my existing WPF project which will guide the user through the process of using my application. Trying to look this up is difficult, because every Google search for "WPF walk through" returns a walk-through on how to use WPF!
I've thought of something like using tooltips and programmatically controlling when they are visible for each control in the GUI ("Press this button next, etc") but I'm hoping for suggestions on a better way as I'm still pretty new to WPF.
Thanks,
Mike
I would use Popup.
Just show same popup with different content near to interested controls
What you appear to be looking for is a wizard... check this one out:

I have created an application which has one window. Click of a button in this window should open another dockable window. Is there a simple way to do this? I found a CodeProject which does this, but this seems a lot of functionality for me.

Are you looking for something like AvalonDock ?

I follow MVVM pattern in one of my silverlight pages.
I am trying to add validations for one of my usercontrols which should look like those which work with the Silverlight native controls. Is it possible for me to do that? Do I need to add special code to handle this?
if you could post your code then i might be able to help. But as per your question i think there are available user-validation controls for Silverlight that you can just drag and drop and then use.
They are available in most of the new IDE's.
Make sure your ViewModel implements IDataErrorInfo and then you can hook them up to the controls.
You can look at a good article here:

What is the difference between "Window" and "page" in silverlight? If I want to embed a page/ window inside another page/ window. How can I do that? For example, when an "Expand" button is clicked, if I dont want it to link to a totally new page, instead, I just want it to show a form embedded in the page / window.
Thanks :)
The simplest solution to this question would be to handle the click event and set the visibility property on the elements you want to show/hide in the event handler.
The link that #Robert provided is about "navigation" in silverlight, you can achieve your end goal using it and if you're planing a large application i'd say it's definately something you should look at but it'is a fairly complex subject.
Depending on your current level of silverlight knowledge and the scale of what you're trying to achieve with your silverlight application it might or might be better to take the simpler button click approach.
Take a look at this article. I think it will help you achive what you're trying to do.

I am looking for information on how to put a calendar/datepicker control into a WPF Ribbon. Has anyone done this before? What is the best way to implement this?
MS didn't think it was worth adding a calendar in the ribbon. I don't think it was much advantageous anyway. Having said that, it is good to have such a control. This should help

There is no DatePicker or Calendar control available with Ribbon controlset.
But you can add the WPF dataPicker control to it, but it will look odd there. I dont know why you need to add a Calendar or DatePicker control there.
Ribbons are generally suited for commands.
