This error occurs: - System.InvalidOperationException: 'Window must be the root of the tree. Cannot add Window as a child of Visual.' I want to open another WPF window inside the stack panel. If WPF window can't open, then give some other good option. 


What I have tried:

C#
private ObjectPlacement objectPlacement;



private void Button_Click_4(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
 {
    ObjectPlacement W = new ObjectPlacement();// other WPF window
    settingpanel.Children.Add(objectPlacement);//setting panel is stack panel.
    W.Show();
 }

You can't; the closest thing is a user control (that looks like a window).

WPF does not have Windforms MDI. You can use a Frame with Pages or ContentControl with UserControls (easiest).

Here, watch this. This will show you how to do what you want: WPF Switching Views With Navigation Using MVVM And Dependency Injection - YouTube[^]

           UserControl1 newFormControl = new UserControl1();
           settingpanel.Children.Add(newFormControl);
