dialogresult

EDIT: This method actually works great and I asked it then found the solution later. I added the correct call in the overloaded ShowDialog() method (it's not exacly an overload, or even an override, but it works just the same. My new question is the one at the bottom. I have a form in which you click one of three buttons. I have defined an enum for the returned results. I want to make the call: MyFormResults res = MyForm.ShowDialog(); I can add a new ShowDialog method with this code: public new MyFormResults ShowDialog() { //Show modal dialog base.ShowDialog(); //This works and somehow I

I show a WPF window using ShowDialog() from the calling window. The window opens and is modal as expected. However, in my OK and Cancel button's click events in the dialog window I set this.DialogResult = true (or false) respectively, and the value does not get set. The window closes as expected, but DialogResult is still null. Is this a bug in WPF? Or is there a reason the DialogResult property cannot be set yet does not throw an exception? The window is not hosted in a browser. Code in the calling window: Window2 win = new Window2(); bool? result = win.ShowDialog(); if (result.HasValue &&

I can't find a solution for the following problem: I open a Dialog with the WindowManager from caliburn micro: public void UserNew() { this._windowManager.ShowDialog(new UserViewModel(this._windowManager)); } Now I need a DialogResult when the user close the dialog with the OK button. The ShowDialog method of WindowManager don't return a DialogResult... Can anyone help me? I tend to use the View Model to handle determining what happened in the dialog. For instance, you can have an IsCancelled property on your UserViewModel that you can interrogate after returning from the ShowDialog call.

Trying to retrieve a DialogResult from a window in a MVVM app, I stumbled on this previous question . After implementing the suggested changes, the sample looks like: type DialogCloser() = static let DialogResultProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("DialogResult", typeof<bool>, typeof<DialogCloser>, new PropertyMetadata(DialogResultChanged)) static member GetDialogResult (a:DependencyObject) = a.GetValue(DialogResultProperty) :?> bool static member SetDialogResult (a:DependencyObject) (value:string) = a.SetValue(DialogResultProperty, value) member this.DialogResultChanged (a

Can anyone think of a good explanation for the fact that result of a dialog is a nullable bool in WPF? This has always baffled me. In WinForms it was an enum type and that made a lot more sense to me. In my opinion this was done because in most cases you don't need the generalized specialized options like Retry or Ignore. If you need more than OK/Cancel, you are supposed to use some kind of task dialog, e.g. with written-out answers. That way, you're not limited to the few enum values someone thought of some decades ago, and the DialogResult is just positive/negative for basic use and you can
