Hello, I was wondering how a window opened through ShowDialog is treated in the Visual Tree. For example, Window A opens Window B through a ShowDialog. When firing a routed command on Window B, Window A does not receieve the command (even though it is listening for it). Is there any way to make this work? Thanks! Jon ...
I hope I can explain this clearly enough. I have my main form (A) and it opens 1 child form (B) using form.Show() and a second child form (C) using form.Show(). Now I want child form B to open a form (D) using form.ShowDialog(). When I do this, it blocks form A and form C as well. Is there a way to open a modal dialog and only have it bl...

Expected behaviour is that LoginForm will capture login details and pass them back to Form1. What is th...

Is there a way I can set a ShowDialog() to not be topmost? I've looked at all the related SO questions, and none quite matched my situation. What I do is open a new WinForm from a datagridview button column. This new form pulls information from a few SQLite tables and allows the user to add information to the row the button was clicked....
WPF's Window.ShowDialog method returns a nullable boolean. So does CommonDialog.ShowDialog. Now, I understand cases where these would return false (user clicked Cancel or pressed Esc), and when they would return true (code sets Window.DialogResult to true, probably in response to OK being clicked). But null? My first thought is that cl...

Hello, is it possible to display a Modal Window from a WPF User Control, that is a child of an ElementHost, and set the owner/parent of the Modal Window to the containing Form control?

The thing is that WPF Window doesn't implement IDisposable interface which led me to believe, that I don't have to manually dispose of it when I open it by calling ShowDialog() but the first comment on this MSDN page states differently. Does anybody know what's the truth? ...

It appears that ShowDialog() invokes the Dispatcher message handling loop within. Thus, you have a stack that looks something like: Outer-most Dispatcher message loop ... x.ShowDialog() Inner Dispatcher message loop ... I am using the Dispatcher.UnhandledException to catch exceptions not handled by my code. However, it appears that ...
