Working with multiple wpf windows using c#

I'm sorry to post this question because there's a lot of relative subjects with this one but unfortunately none of them couldn't helped me !! so I have an application that contains two wpf windows (MainWindow() and Window1()), what i exactly want to achieve is to control the window1 properties from the MainWindow().. for example i want to clear a listbox items from window1 every time i click on Button1 from the MainWindow !! I also want to have a full access to the methods, fields and properties that exits in the MainWindow from window1.

Where is the problem ? I dont see any question.

Maybe you want to start by saving a ref of Window1 in MainWindow. 

Window1 window1 = new Window1();
window1.show();

From there do what you need done : 

window1.foo();
window1.bar();
window1.foobar = "Title";

Edit : some clarification, because OP seems to be a beginner : 

public class MainWindow
{

    private Window1 window1;

    public void CreateWindow()
    {
         window1 = new Window1();
         window1.show();
    }

    private void DoStuffWithWindow1()
    {
         window1.foo();
         window1.bar();
         window1.foobar = "Title";
    }
}

What you could do is to add public properties/method that allows access to your Window1 class from MainWindow.

For instance, if you want to clear a list in Window1 from MainWindow, add the following method to Window1:

public void ClearList()
{
    // Clear your list here
}

Of course you'll need your MainWindow to know about Window1, but as the name suggests, I assume MainWindow is the main window so it creates the Window1 instance.

So you should have a reference to Window1 in MainWindow. In MainWindow, just call:

this.myWindow1.ClearList();
