Silverlight Prism + MDI windows

I'm trying to figure out how to make a customizable stock trading platform with Prism and MVVM.

Trading platforms normally look something like this:

This kind of layout allows you to select which windows to display in MDI region. I'm not sure how to build this with Prism and Silverlight. I suppose I have to use childwindows, but Prism seems kinda rigid for this kind of design. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Any help is greatly appreciated

Solution

  • I'm not sure how well MDI would work in terms of usability in a Sivlerlight app. You might find that the blacklight dragdrop panel dashboard (under interactive controls) would be much more suitable for a silverlight app. It should give you some MDI style features, you could also have multiple tabs with the dashboards in.
