I work in a company where they use a system that is very reminiscent of Windows 8, even though I am on Windows 7 machine.

What I needed to do is to develop a desktop system on my computer (Windows 7) but I needed to leave it with the same face, similar to Windows 8

Example:

Instead of using the - MessageBox.Show. I would like the MessageDialog

You can only do this by creating a style of your own or using one that someone else did. It doesn’t mean that it will be perfect but it is very close. Some examples:

There are other paid.

Other than that, ask who made the system the way it was made. It’s the only way to make it look the same.

  • Friend, if I want to use one of these ready, how can I use it? need to install...? If you have any tutorial or video, I would appreciate... ^^

  • Yes, you need to install it. One of them is full of information on how to use it, just read there. Probably take a course, buy a book to understand the nuances of what needs to be done. It is not something simple to learn overnight, it takes a lot of effort. Only with tutorials you can not do such complex things. The tutorials are ready recipes, any different comma you will not know how to solve. Need to acquire the foundation.

    Then you have a big problem on hand! WPF does not learn to use overnight.

  • I’m gonna run behind to learn how to use that WPF, I need!
