Multiple windows, but also multiple items on the task bar


I'm setting up a program that has three different windows. I'm just using ..

Window1 win1 = new Window1(); win1.show();

...for each of the extra windows. The problem is that each window opens up a new tab on the taskbar. Is there anyway that I can still have my three windows with only one related item on the taskbar?

If possible, I would not like to make them all child forms and have to sit inside of another box.

Thank you


Solution

  • Set the ShowInTaskbar to false

    <Window ShowInTaskbar="False" ... />
    

    If you want to make the windows related together, like when you click one of them it brings them all, set the Owner before showing the window (assuming this is your main window)

    Window1 w = new Window1();
    w.Owner = this;
