Accessing Avalonia Features

Overview

Sometimes WPF APIs may not provide the specific features you need. In these cases, there is often an Avalonia API that you can use to fill that gap.

Getting the Avalonia Window

Many Avalonia features are exposed via the top-level Window class. Because an XPF Window is also an Avalonia Window, you can use the following pattern to get a reference to the underlying Avalonia Window:

if (XpfWpfAbstraction.GetAvaloniaWindowForWindow(xpfWindow) is { } avaloniaWindow)
{
    // You now have an Avalonia Window.
}
