[Solved] About RadWindow.Alert FontFamily

[Kelley Wong]

using version 2011.1.0419 ,when i set the usercontrol's fontfamily ,the fontfamily of the RadWindow.Alert() is the same as that set in the usercontrol .
today i update to version 2011.2.0920 , the fontfamily set in the usercontrol is not usefull to RadWindow.Alert() !

the same problem is also in the RadChart Control

public partial class Login : UserControl
 {
        public Login()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            FontFamily = new System.Windows.Media.FontFamily(BSC.Resources.CommonResource.ResourceManager.GetString("FontFamilyString", System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture));

           CheckState();
        }


       internal void CheckState()
      {
             RadWindow.Alert("Pass!");
      }
}

Hello Kelley,

Introducing Q2 version of RadControls for Silverlight there were major changes in RadWindow control. We moved the RadWindow's popups out of the VisualTree, because placing it into the VisualTree was a work-around intended for internal use only which we don't need anymore.

That's why your code is not working properly now. I would suggest you use the DialogParameters parameter of RadWindow.Alert(). Here is sample code:

var dialogParameters = new DialogParameters();
dialogParameters.WindowStyle = new System.Windows.Style(typeof(RadWindow));
var setter = new Setter(RadWindow.FontFamilyProperty, this.FontFamily);
dialogParameters.WindowStyle.Setters.Add(setter);
dialogParameters.Content = "Pass!";

RadWindow.Alert(dialogParameters);

or using static defined style in XAML:

var dialogParameters = new DialogParameters();
var style = App.Current.Resources["RadWindowStyle"] as Style;
dialogParameters.WindowStyle = style;
dialogParameters.Content = "Pass!";

RadWindow.Alert(dialogParameters);

Hope this helps.

All the best,
