It shows some bugs.

ShowWindow(new WindowInteropHelper (childWindow).Handle, SW_RESTORE);

The bug is


The type or namespace name 'WindowInteropHelper' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This is My Menu Control Coding

Menu.xaml

<Window x:Class="Flyking.FlykingCourierOperations"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Flyking Courier Operation Manager" Topmost="True" Height="768" Width="1020" WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" Background="#f7f4e9" ResizeMode="CanResize" WindowState="Maximized" >
<Grid Background="White">
<Menu Height="40" Margin="0,40,0,0" Name="menu1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Background="#434a48">
<MenuItem Header="Branch" FontSize="13" Foreground="White" Click="MenuItem_Click_4" ToolTip="Open Branch Window" />
</Menu>
</Window>

Menu.xaml.cs
private void MenuItem_Click_4(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{ Branch bran = new Branch();
bran.ShowInTaskbar = false;
bran.Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow;
bran.Show();
}

My Second form name is Branch.xaml

Now the question is when i open Branch menu from menuitem(Branch.xaml window) it should be opened within that Menu.xaml window, it should maximize within that Menu.xaml window rather it should not maximize fully as equal to Menu.xaml window. How could i do that.

Thank u for your sample but it doest not fulfill my requirement because when i maximize the child window it goes same measurement as parent window. But my requirement it should come within that parent window even if i maximize the child window.

Child Window should maximize within Parent window without overlapping all items including taskbar and parent window.
