RadModalWindow

[Derek]

edit: apparently I just needed to set the Background for the window.

Using SilverlightSpy I'm trying to figure out why creating a RadModalWindow programmaticly vs in xaml is causing problems.  I'm assume the missing Fill is the problem.  From another thread I've tried setting the PlacementTarget.  What sort of things should I be looking at that would cause the background items to not be disabled?
popup.PlacementTarget = Application.Current.RootVisual;

Hi Derek,

 Thank you for writing.
This happens because when you create an instance of RadWindow in code, it's default style is not applied. The reason for this is that the window object itself is never inserted in the Silverlight element tree, only its content. You have to set the background manually.

Please write again if you have other questions.

Is there a way to apply the default style in code or is the background the only thing that is set?

Hello Derek,

 As far as I know the default style can not be applied manually through code. You could extract the default style with the Reflector tool by opening the primitives assembly and browsing the assembly resources. In this case you can avoid doing that because the modal window style is very simple. Here is what is looks like:

<telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation x:Key="RadWindow_DefaultOpenAnimation" Axes="X" StartAngleX="-90" EndAngleX="0" Duration="0:0:.2">
    <telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation.Easing>
        <ExponentialEase Exponent="4" EasingMode="EaseOut"/>
    </telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation.Easing>
</telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation>

<telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation x:Key="RadWindow_DefaultCloseAnimation" Axes="X" StartAngleX="0" EndAngleX="90" Duration="0:0:.2">
    <telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation.Easing>
        <ExponentialEase Exponent="4" EasingMode="EaseIn"/>
    </telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation.Easing>
</telerikCore:RadPlaneProjectionAnimation>

<Style TargetType="telerikPrimitives:RadModalWindow">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource PhoneSemitransparentBrush}"/>
    <Setter Property="OpenAnimation" Value="{StaticResource RadWindow_DefaultOpenAnimation}"/>
    <Setter Property="CloseAnimation" Value="{StaticResource RadWindow_DefaultCloseAnimation}"/>
</Style>
