WindowStartupLocation

[david]

Hi,

I have installed the 2009-q1 controls for silverlight and after a few adjustments to the code
I have the following strange behaviour with my radWindow,

I have a window which is set at WindowStartupLocation.CenterParent, it works fine with the
default and vista themes, but when I use the summer theme the window is located at the top left
of the screen.

the only change in the code for this to achieve is to change of the theme name

I'm having a similar issue with RadAlert.  Using default theme, from code-behind, places the radAlert in the top left corner of the screen.  Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.  Here is the simple code from code-behind.

RadWindow.Alert("test");

I am having similar problems with the new release. I have noticed the things noted above~2c but I also am having problems with CenterScreen which worked fine before. Now anything I set to CenterScreen actually shows up in the lower right hand corner. So I have a weird mix of windows opening to the top left and bottom right when I actually want them all in the center.

I am having the same problem and it was driving me nuts! Anyways, I came up with a temporary work-around. First off, I always display a custom control inside of a dialog so you may have to modify a bit if you have code inline.

Set the WindowStartupLocation to Manual and then hook into the custom control's Loaded event and add the following code:

private void Dialog_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{    var window = RadWindow.GetParentRadWindow(this);

window.Left = Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth / 2 - this.ActualWidth / 2;

window.Top = Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualHeight / 2 - this.ActualHeight / 2;

}

A real fix will be nice but this works ok for now.

Hello to all,

We are appologizing for the caused inconvenience, it turns out that we have introduced a bug with the latest changes in our RadWindow. Currently, you can set the ModalBackground of any dialog windows using the ModalBackground property of DialogParameters like this:

 RadWindow.Alert(new DialogParameters() { ModalBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black) });

We will response with a hotfix in a couple of days, which will not require you to set any locations or brushesh. Please excuses for this bug again, and we hope that issue will not be a show stopper for you until we provide you with a hot fix.

I like your solution better.  The following below "almost" worked but since I did not specify a size on the window directly, the width was too "narrow".   Explicitly setting a size on the window and then using CenterParent did the trick.

RadWindow window = new RadWindow()

 

{

 

};

 

Page p = new Page();

 

window.Content = p;

window.WindowStartupLocation =

WindowStartupLocation.CenterParent;

 

window.Header =

"RadWindow";

 

window.Top = 0;

window.Left =0;

window.LeftOffset = 0;

window.TopOffset =0;

p.SizeChanged +=

new SizeChangedEventHandler(mySizeChange);

 

window.ShowDialog();
.....

 

private

 

void mySizeChange(object o, SizeChangedEventArgs e)

 

{

 

  int i = 0;

 

 

  if (e.PreviousSize == new Size(0, 0))

 

  {

 

   Page p = o as Page;

 

 

   RadWindow w = p.Parent as RadWindow;

 

   w.Height = e.NewSize.Height;

  w.Width = e.NewSize.Width;

  }

}

Hi Hristo,

I experience issues using the modal option and defining the WindowStartupLocation:

...

<RadWindow>.WindowStartupLocation =WindowStartupLocation.CenterScreen;

<RadWindow>.ShowDialog();

The window opens to the upper left corner of theapplication each time.

 

Though using <RadWindow>.Show() works asexpected, displaying it in the center.

 

I am using version: 2009.1.526.1020

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Vic
