MessageBox with two buttons

[Giuseppe]

Hi,
I'd like to show a MessageBox with just two buttons with a short description, something like the one in your sample app. I'm facing with a strange behaviour: the two buttons are shown side-by-side (picture no. 1) instead of top-down (see picture no. 2, photoshopped). How can I force the vertical alignment of the buttons?

TIA, ciao

Hi Giuseppe,

Thanks for writing.
This behavior is hardcoded in RadMessageBox. When three or more buttons are to be displayed, they are arranged in a column. If only two buttons are to be displayed, they are arranged in a row.

If you need a custom dialog, I suggest implementing on using RadModalWindow.
Please write again if you have other questions.

Hi Victor,
thanks for answering.

I think MessageBox is derived from RadModalWindow, isn't it? Can you please give me a template or something else to mimic the MessageBox in the sample app?

TIA, ciao

Hi Giuseppe,

Thanks for the question.
The message box uses RadModalWindow internally, they are not in a class hierarchy. You can see a sample message box template in this help article.

Hey, I'm currently doing a trial integration of WP8 controls for my client, and I basically want to +1 this request. You could at least support it for custom control templates. I've added an idea here: http://feedback.telerik.com/Project/112/Feedback/Details/40637-messagebox

Will now look at RadModalWindow.

Hi and thanks for the feedback.

Indeed, currently providing your own template is the way to go for this task -- this is shown in the help article, pointed by Victor. We will fix the problem with buttons being resized in a vertical stack panel, so that you can get larger buttons.

Hi,

Yes, I tried using custom template, with a stack panel, but unfortunately, the buttons don't take all the screen width. If you will have a fix for it soon, it is a good news ! ;)

Best regards,
