How can I close a childwindow when I click outside of it?
if you are using the default silverlight child window style, when it opens, the outside part (the transparent grey part) is actually a Grid (called Overlay) that is within the child window style.
So what you need to do is to handle its MouseLeftButtonDown event,
<Grid x:Name="Overlay" Background="{TemplateBinding OverlayBrush}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0" Opacity="{TemplateBinding OverlayOpacity}" VerticalAlignment="Top" MouseLeftButtonDown="Overlay_MouseLeftButtonDown"/>
and in the code behind, you do
private void Overlay_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
I also copied the style here just in case. :)
