[Solved] RadWindow.ShowDialog doesn't stay on top

[Alex]

Hi,

I'm using this code to show a modal RadWindow:

private void SendCommandExecuted(object parameter)
{
    PopupDeviceView popupDeviceView = new PopupDeviceView();
    PopupDeviceViewModel popupDeviceViewModel = (PopupDeviceViewModel)popupDeviceView.DataContext;

    RadWindow radWindow = new RadWindow();
    radWindow.Content = popupDeviceView;
    radWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;
    radWindow.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;
    radWindow.CanClose = false;
    radWindow.CanMove = false;

    radWindow.ShowDialog();
}

it opens a RadWindow as modal, in the main window, but when I minimize that main window - my modal RadWindow dissapears, its only available with Alt+Tab windows keys - and only the main window is shown. And the worst - main window's button, that opened my RadWindow - can be hit with Enter key (not with mouse tho).

What should I do to make it trully 'modal'? TIA

Hello Alex,

I would suggest setting the RadWindow.Owner property to the MainWindow before opening:

...
radWindow.Owner = this;

radWindow.ShowDialog();

Please give it a try and let me know if this helps.

Hi George,

thanks for your reply,
added what you suggested - but it doesn't help:
radWindow.Owner = ((UserControl)(((Button)(parameter)).ParentOfType<UserControl>()));

private void CommandRegisterEdit_Execute(object parameter)
{
    RadWindow radWindow = new RadWindow();
    radWindow.Owner = ((UserControl)(((Button)(parameter)).ParentOfType<UserControl>()));
    radWindow.Header = "Edit Register";
    radWindow.Content = popupRegisterView;
    radWindow.WindowStartupLocation = WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;
    radWindow.ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize;
    radWindow.CanClose = false;
    radWindow.CanMove = false;

    radWindow.ShowDialog();
}

one more thing that possibly matters - the View that uses this ViewModel, is displayed in another, ShellView, like

<Window.Resources>
    <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:RegisterViewModel}">
        <v:RegisterView/>
    </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>

...

<DockPanel Grid.Row="1">
    <ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentPageViewModel}"/>
</DockPanel>
