Silverlight ChildWindow is centered over the parent control. I have extended ChildWindow to open it at a specific position.

public partial class ChildWindowEx : ChildWindow
{
Point _pt = new Point(0,0);
public ChildWindowEx()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public ChildWindowEx(Point pt) : this()
{
_pt = pt;
}
protected override Size ArrangeOverride(Size finalSize)
{
Grid grid = Utils.FindChild(this, "ContentRoot");
if (grid != null)
{
grid.Arrange(new Rect(_pt.X, _pt.Y, grid.DesiredSize.Width, grid.DesiredSize.Height));
return finalSize;
}
return base.ArrangeOverride(finalSize);
}
}
