Syntax
Remarks

The FrameworkApplication object is the central object in the Framework API. Its main purpose is to pull together all of the extensions and add-ins into one application. The FrameworkApplication encapsulates application-specific functionality, including the following::

  • Access to the modules, commands, backstage, panes, and dock panes.
  • The application state.
  • The event aggregator.
  • Customization filters.
  • Custom drop handlers.
  • Notifications.
  • The help system.

The FrameworkApplication class follows the singleton pattern to provide easy access to its functionality.

Example
Get the Application main window
System.Windows.Window window = FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow;

// center it
Rect rect = System.Windows.SystemParameters.WorkArea;
FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow.Left = rect.Left + (rect.Width - FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow.ActualWidth) / 2;
FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow.Top = rect.Top + (rect.Height - FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow.ActualHeight) / 2;
