RadDesktopAlert

[Jai]

Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadDesktopAlert doesn't seem to have a global click event AND also does not have a PopUp property to achieve that. Currently It gets fired only When the user clicks the Content of the RadDesktopAlert . Requirement says  for setting where the user can click anywhere on the DesktopAlert and get fired the click event. I tried looking for Hwnd or Handle so I could manually register a click event in this manner, but even those properties don't exist.

I have a requirement where I need a global event, how to achieve global Click event ?

Hi Jai,

By design only the Content is click-able - this way the alert can be dragged from anywhere else. However you could achieve the desired, but you would loose the drag drop functionality. What you need to do is to hook to the Loaded event RadDesktopAlert and set the CaptionHeight property of the parent WindowBase to 0:

void alert_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var parentWindow = (sender as RadDesktopAlert).ParentOfType<WindowBase>();
    if (parentWindow != null)
    {
        parentWindow.CaptionHeight = 0;
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Hi Kalin,

I need your quick suggestion on the below requirement for our reputed Client (Transportation domain).
We are using the RaddesktopAlert and have an immediate requirement to have some buttons  on RaddesktopAlert to perform some functionalities. I came across that RaddesktopAlert for Winforms supports this but don't have any idea how to achieve the same on RaddesktopAlert for WPF.

Any help on this one will be grateful :)
