In my WPF app, I sometimes being up a System.Windows.MessageBox
. When it is initially displayed, it is shown on top of my main application window, as I would li
This is a quick way of putting the Message Box on top of the application windows.
MessageBox.Show(this ,"Output text"));
Use the version of MessageBox.Show
that takes a Window "owner" and pass your window.
MessageBox.Show(Application.Current.MainWindow, "Im always on top - of the main window");
If your possibly not on the UI thread try:
string msg="Hello!";
if (Application.Current.Dispatcher.CheckAccess()) {
MessageBox.Show(Application.Current.MainWindow, msg);
}
else {
Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, new Action(()=>{
MessageBox.Show(Application.Current.MainWindow, msg);
}));
}
You can:
1. Invoke
to block your thread until MessageBox
is dismissed OR
2. BeginInvoke
in which case your thread code will continue to execute but UI thread will block on MessageBox
until its dismissed).
Inside your "public partial class MainWindow : Window
" place the following code. So the Invoke will run your code inside UI thread.
void ShowErrorMessage(ERROR err)
{
this.Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() =>
{
MessageBox.Show(err.description, err.code.ToString(), MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
}));
}
