It would be best to create a property in window B through which you pass the create window. Something like that. I have a window named MainWindow and a second window named Window2.
Main window
namespace WpfApplication1
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
Window2 secondForm;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
secondForm = new Window2();
secondForm.setCreatingForm =this;
secondForm.Show();
}
}
}
Window2
namespace WpfApplication1
{
public partial class Window2 : Window
{
Window creatingForm;
public Window2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public Window setCreatingForm
{
get { return creatingForm; }
set { creatingForm = value; }
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (creatingForm != null)
creatingForm.Close();
}
}
}
In response to your comment, closing a window that was created by another form is as simple as calling the Close method on the created form:
namespace WpfApplication1
{
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
Window2 secondForm;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (secondForm == null)
{
secondForm = new Window2();
secondForm.Show();
}
else
secondForm.Activate();
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (secondForm != null)
{
secondForm.Close();
secondForm = new Window2();
secondForm.Show();
}
}
}
}
