RadWindow Prompt, Alert, Confirm theme/style

[Jason McNair]

I'm using the RadWindow static methods for Prompt, Alert, and Confirm.  Everything works great, but since they are static methods, I don't see any way to change the window's theme or style.  I can see in the WPF RadWindow demo that it is being done, but I can't find any code that seems to reflect how the theme is set.  How is this being done?  Is it some application level setting that is being changed?  If so, what if I don't want to apply the theme that I want for my RadWindow to the rest of my application?

Hello Jason,

 These methods have overloads that allow you to provide an object of type DialogParameters, which allows you to specify a Theme to be used.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the response.  I just got around to trying it, and setting the theme in the DialogParameters doesn't appear to change anything.  I'm going about it like this:

RadWindow.Prompt(new DialogParameters
   {
      Content = "Prompt Content",
      Closed = Test_Method,
      DefaultPromptResultValue = "default name",
      Theme = new Windows7Theme()
   });

Am I doing something wrong?  The prompt is still using the default theme.

Any word on this?  I think you have a bug.  It was reported in this thread also:

http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/window/prompt-can-t-change-theme.aspx

That user was able to find a work around by applying a theme to his entire application to get a theme applied to his radwindow.  That workaround does not work for me, because applying a theme at the application level makes broad and unintended changes.

Eagerly awaiting your response,
Jason

Hello Jason,

Can you try the attached project with the latest officially released dlls? It does open Window7 alert here.
