# Windows

## Content

Replace standard browser dialog windows with **Windows for WPF and Silverlight**. The [C1Window](/componentone/api/wpf/online-basiclibrary/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Window.html) control shows content in a floating window. Experience enhanced performance and ease-of-use with a rich object model and time-saving customization.

Make the most of **Windows for WPF and Silverlight** by taking advantage of the following key features:

* **Modal and Modeless Dialog Windows**

Decide whether users can interact with other windows while the dialog window is present through modal and modeless dialog windows.

* **Separate XAML Files to Define Window Objects**

**C1Window** objects are not children of any elements on the page. Because of this, they are defined in separate XAML files whose root element is a **C1Window** object.

* **Resizable Windows**

You can easily determine whether or not the window should be resized. Scroll bars are automatically added when the window becomes too small to show all of the content.

* **Window State**

**Windows for WPF and Silverlight** can be minimized and restored to its original size; the developer can set the current state of the window. The developer can also configure the window so it cannot be maximized.

* **Window Elements**

You can edit the XAML file and add any elements you want. With **Windows for WPF and Silverlight**, creating and maintaining **C1Window** objects is very easy.

* **XBAP Support**

XBAPs are WPF Applications built for the Web. **Windows for WPF and Silverlight** are supported in XBAP scenarios for both modal and modeless windows.
