I'm trying to figure out how to make a customizable stock trading platform with Prism and MVVM.

Trading platforms normally look something like this:

This kind of layout allows you to select which windows to display in MDI region. I'm not sure how to build this with Prism and Silverlight. I suppose I have to use childwindows, but Prism seems kinda rigid for this kind of design. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Any help is greatly appreciated

I think this link might provide some help here.

Telerik provide the mechanism for a dockable window system in Silverlight.

  • Seems like a good solution. Are there any free alternatives to this? I'm working on my hobby project so I'd like to avoid any commercial solutions though. –  Feb 13 '11 at 20:35

I'm not sure how well MDI would work in terms of usability in a Sivlerlight app. You might find that the blacklight dragdrop panel dashboard (under interactive controls) would be much more suitable for a silverlight app. It should give you some MDI style features, you could also have multiple tabs with the dashboards in.
