This seems like an easy solution, but I spend too much time trying to figure it out. Perhaps I am not building the application correctly (which may be so), so please help me if you have a better solution.
I am developing an enterprise-level WPF application that looks like Outlook with Ribbon instead of a toolbar. I have many different modules that load into the frame when the user clicks on the RibbonButton . Keep in mind that his tape is shared across all modules.
So, I have a shell with a ribbon and a frame. When the user clicks the Ribbon button, he loads the appropriate module (usercontrol) into the frame. Things are good. However, if I move to another module (by clicking on another RibbonButton) and then on the original RibbonButton , now I have two instances of the same module ... but only one is displayed in the frame ... the other module is on the frame stack .
So my question is, how can I tell the frame to close usercontrol when I switch to another module? I tried setting JournalEntry.KeepAlive="False" , but it still didn't work. Any thoughts? There is really not much code to publish, but I can do it if it helps you.
