I'm using ModernUI for WPF (MUI) available on codeplex here.
It's a nice framework and I have no issues using it as a container for my pages.
I'm now trying to add a custom modal dialog, but declaring as a simple Window doesn't keep the nice style MUI has. I've been trying to understand the source code but I can't figure out how to create a window like it does.
Can someone please give me a couple of guidelines on how to achieve a custom modal dialog with this framework?
EDIT: This is the solution I've found with the help of XAMlMAX:
<mui:ModernWindow
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
xmlns:lex="http://wpflocalizeextension.codeplex.com"
xmlns:SysClient="clr-namespace:SysClient"
xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
x:Class="SysClient.Pages.GenericWindow"
xmlns:mui="http://firstfloorsoftware.com/ModernUI"
mc:Ignorable="d" Width="800" Height="520" Activated="Window_Activated" Margin="0,0,0,0">
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/FirstFloor.ModernUI;component/Themes/ModernWindowPopUp.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
<Window.Style>
<StaticResource ResourceKey="ModernWindowPopUp"></StaticResource>
</Window.Style>
And this is how I use it:
GenericWindow w = new GenericWindow()
{
Title = "Add Order",
ShowInTaskbar = false, // don't show the dialog on the taskbar
//Topmost = true, // ensure we're Always On Top
ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize, // remove excess caption bar buttons
Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow,
Tag = new ParametersClass(OrderTypeId),
ContentSource = new Uri("/Windows/AddOrderWindow.xaml", UriKind.Relative)
};
w.ShowDialog();
