Large ChildWindow from small Silverlight control? -

i have developed silverlight control shows list of documents. takes or little space integrating developer likes.

however, when users adds documents use childwindow bunch of metadata before document uploaded. dialog can large.

we've found way go full-screen think surprise users (and not in sense of surprise , delight!). there better way allow dialog use more screen space parent silverlight container?

interesting question. moment, thought circumvent issue opening true or fake html popup calling host page's javascript. popup silverlight instance big necessary.

however, solution has several challenges:

1. list item
2. you need fake 'modalness' of original sl instance and/or host page
3. you need fiddle javascript, though largely alleviated using jquery
4. the target sl instance should sized childwindow covers entire surface in order hide fact there instance here
5. you'll need establish way communicate data acquired in childwindow original sl instance; can either storing in host's dom or using sl's built in local messaging

while neither of challenges deal-breaking, might bit work, out of comfort zone, or impossible due other external limitations imposed.

but neat little workaround, isn't it?
