DesktopAlert not visible/not show

[Jan]

Hello,

I'd like to use a DesktopAlert in a WPF MVVM app.

I copy the code from the Telerik WPF app - DesktopAlert Examples - First Look app (email example).

Code:

public class AlertViewModel : BaseViewModel
{
private RadDesktopAlertManager desktopAlertManager;

public AlertViewModel()
{
this.desktopAlertManager = new RadDesktopAlertManager(AlertScreenPosition.BottomRight, 5d);
}

public Action ActivateMainWindowAction { get; set; }
private void OnAlertCommandExecuted(object param)
{            
if (this.ActivateMainWindowAction != null)
{
this.ActivateMainWindowAction.Invoke();
}            
}

public void TestAlert()
{
BitmapImage b = new BitmapImage();
b.BeginInit();
b.UriSource = new Uri("C:\\...\\error.png");
b.EndInit();

this.desktopAlertManager.ShowAlert(new DesktopAlertParameters
{
Header = "Header",
Content = "Content",
Icon = new Image { Source = b, Width = 48, Height = 48 },
IconColumnWidth = 48,
IconMargin = new Thickness(10, 0, 20, 0),
Command = new DelegateCommand(this.OnAlertCommandExecuted),
CommandParameter = "ABC"
});
}
}

public partial class Alert : UserControl
{
public Alert()
{
InitializeComponent();
AlertViewModel vm = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<AlertViewModel>();
vm.ActivateMainWindowAction = new Action(this.ActivateMainWindow);
DataContext = vm;
}

private void ActivateMainWindow()
{
var mainWindow = Application.Current.MainWindow;

if (mainWindow != null)
{
if (mainWindow.WindowState == WindowState.Minimized)
{
mainWindow.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
}

if (!mainWindow.IsActive)
{
mainWindow.Activate();
}
}
}
}

 

The DesktopAlertParameters command never execute and the alert never show.

Is there something i miss? If i try desktop alert on a new classic WPF app (no mvvm) works withuot problems.

 

Thanks.

Hi Jan,

In order to show the DesktopAlert the "TestAlert" method should be called. Please, check the attached sample that demonstrates how to show the DesktopAlert as expected.

Hope this helps.

Hello Jan,

Please, check the attached sample that demonstrates how to visualize RadDesktopAlert using Prism.
