RadWindow.Confirm disappearing after clicking window behind

[Wilfred]

Hi,

I've implemented a RadWindow.Confirm() box with custom 'Ok' functionality and it works fine. However, I'm having a problem with the confirmation box disappearing behind the main application window when I click to any window behind the main application window. To be more clear, say I have windows A and B. B is the main application window, A is Outlook (nothing to do with my application). When I display a confirmation box in window B, it shows fine. Now, if I click on window A, without making a selection in the confirmation box, both window B and the confirmation box disappear. Good so far. Now, if I select window B from the task bar, window B is displayed, but the confirmation box is not. Window B is no longer responsive until I action the confirmation box which I have to ALT-TAB to get to.

Is this a bug or is there some configuration I can use to ensure it always stays on top of my application window?

Thanks

Hi Wilfred,

Try setting the Owner of the RadWindow to be the Window that invoked it and when you activate it the Confirmation dialog should be brought into view as well:

private void OnOpenIcon2Clicked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var owner = (sender as UIElement).ParentOfType<Window>();
            RadWindow.Confirm(new DialogParameters
            {
                ContentStyle = Application.Current.Resources["Icon2AlertStyle"] as Style,
                Owner = owner,
                Content = "Dialog with Icon 2.",
                Header = "Dialog with Icon 2" });
        }

If you would like to keep the confirmation dialog always visible when switching between the application, you can create a custom RadWindow and set its IsTopmost property to true.

Hi,

I posted a reply in the other forum thread, where you have commented: Radwindow appearing behind child window. May I ask you to continue the discussion there in order to avoid duplicating replies? 

Thank you in advance for your understanding.
