How do I create a window from which other windows inherit?

I have a window like this

<Window x:Class="pharmacy_Concept.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>

        <Button Content="Login" Height="34" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,241,0,0" Name="loginbutton" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="129" Click="loginbutton_Click" />
        <Button Content="Exit" Height="34" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="362,241,0,0" Name="Exitbutton" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="129" Click="Exitbutton_Click" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

I want every new window I create for this layout. I need to use a resource dictionary for this. If so, how? Or do I need to do something else

It's easy to understand the concept. I will be using images and palettes later.

You must declare ControlTemplate

which you usually define in ResourceDictionary

. For example:

<ResourceDictionary
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" >

<Style x:Key="{x:Type Window}" TargetType="{x:Type Window}">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Window}">
                <Grid Background="Red">
                    <Button Content="Login" Height="34" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,241,0,0" Name="loginbutton" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="129" Click="loginbutton_Click" />
                    <Button Content="Exit" Height="34" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="362,241,0,0" Name="Exitbutton" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="129" Click="Exitbutton_Click" />
                </Grid>

            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

Then you have to add this to your application resources in app.xaml

:



<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="Window.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

And in your window, use it like this:

 Style="{StaticResource {x:Type Window}}"
