I'm trying to develop Custom Window, which i can reuse in other applications.

I tried with code-behind to set the ControlTemplate, but as i read FrameworkElementFactory is deprecated...

I've pieced together code from this youtube video [this video] , this article [LINK] , this SO question [LINK] and Microsoft's documentation [LINK] and I've come up with the following code. Note : The code below is all considered relevant since the application cannot run with either of these parts (yes I know it can run without the code-behind, but it's annoying having to stop the application from Visual Studio instead of the close button - which is also what I'm trying to accomplish). I've actually slimmed down the code below so that it's ea
