Owner property

[Xin]

Hi:

I tried to set RadWindow.Owner to a Widnow,

this

 

 

.Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow;

 

but it is said
Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Windows.Window' to 'System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl'.

Is there a way to set Owner property to a Window?
Could anyone help me with this one?

Thanks
Xin

Hi,

The Owner property should be set to a ContentControl, for example:

this.Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow.Content as ContentControl;

Kind regards,

Hi Konstantina:
 
Thanks for your reply.
But when I tried your code, it said:
'System.Windows.Window' do not contain a definition for 'Content' and no extension method accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Window' could be found.

How can I correct it?

Regards

Hi Xin,

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The Owner property in Silverlight is not designed to point which out-of-browser Window will be the owner, but which RadWindow will be owner of the newly created one. Also, even if set to a RadWindow it will only close the owned window, but not set its Z index. This is how the property is designed. This issue is logged in PITS - you could view it here, vote for it and track its status. It is logged under the RadDocking control, but the concern is the same.

Hope this information helps.

All the best,
