i searched the whole Weekend for examples to handle more than One window in a wpf Application.
All Samples work only with One window. I don’t understand to switch like in Big .Net forms.
Pyxis is to much Code to study, have anyone a Link or example how this is solved ?

I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for but I modified the GHI Cobra graphical demo to show a touch screen calibration window then show the main desktop window once calibration is complete.
It seems all you do is change the mainWindow value of the app.
Basically, when the select button is held, ShowCalibrationWindow is called to display the calibration window. When the calibration is complete, the calibration window calls CalibrationComplete in the Program which then invokes ShowDemo.
Hopefully this shows you how to switch windows:

Zoomer please use the code tag.
One thing which was recently released and works fine for multiple windows is glide and you can find it here:
http://www.ghielectronics.com/glide
Ahhh, yes that is much better…
You can download the modified demo which uses my sample code here: [url]http://wiki.tinyclr.com/index.php?title=File:GHI_Cobra_Graphical_Demo_7inch_and_Calibration.zip[/url]
thanks, this is exactly what i’m searching for!
Glide is interesting too, but also no example code to find 
To get started with this only on api code is to hard for me. No feeling for the structure or building of a glide application.

You may also try this; it comes with sample apps: [url]http://skewworks.com/products/Pyxis%202[/url]
perfect !!
thank you very much!
