WPF: How to dynamically Add Controls in dynamically created WPF Window

Question

I want to add a WPF Input Box in my Project in C#. I got a WinForm one from InputBox in C# but it has Winform look and feel. So i was recreating it in WPF. I have created all the controls (Label, Button, Textbox) but i am unable to add them to my window.

static Window winInputDialog

The Window is showing through ShowDialog but without controls.

How are you calling this window to show itself? Window.ShowDialog()? — Vinit Sankhe

There are two ways to get controls in your window:

Do the whole designing stuff in the Designer of VisualStudio

Add the controls by code. Here is a short, simple sample of creating a window and putting controls in it:

var window = new Window();
var stackPanel = new StackPanel { Orientation = Orientation.Vertical };
stackPanel.Children.Add(new Label { Content = "Label" });
stackPanel.Children.Add(new Button { Content = "Button" });
window.Content = stackPanel;
