    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;
