DialogBox

Namespace: Toolkit.UI.WPF.Controls.DialogBox.[XAML]

The DialogBox is a way to notify the user about an event occurring in the application, or to request permission for an action. Unlike the standard MessageDialog provided in WPF, this implementation contains many design improvements, as well as the variability of the information contained within the dialog.

It is assumed that the configuration of the dialog box will come from code. Configuration example (* Standard value is the default value if no option was specified):

• Settings

    Toolkit.UI.WPF.Controls.DialogBox box = new Toolkit.UI.WPF.Controls.DialogBox()
    {
        // Positioning the title within the top block vertically. Default value is Center
        HeaderVerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
        // Positioning the title within the top block horizontally. Default value is Left
        HeaderHorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left,
        // Whole window background color. Default value is White
        Background = Brushes.White,
        // The content of the header can contain any control. Default font size is 28
        Header = new TextBlock() { Text = "The header!" },
        // Header content color. Default value is Black
        HeaderForeground = Brushes.Black,
        // Padding of the header from edges. Default value is 0
        HeaderMargin = new Thickness(20, 0, 20, 0),
        // The main content of the message. Can contain any control
        Content = new TextBlock() { Text = "It's content!", FontSize = 20 },
        // Main content color. Default value is Black
        ContentForeground = Brushes.Red,
        // Padding content from edges. Default value is 0
        ContentMargin = new Thickness(20),
        // The color of the dialog box border. Default value is Black
        // Attention, the frame is implemented as a symmetrical shadow on all sides.
        BorderBrush = Brushes.YellowGreen.Color,
        // The color of all buttons located on the dialog box. Default value is White
        ButtonsBackground = Brushes.Black,
        // The color of the contents of the buttons located on the dialog box. Default value is Black
        ButtonsForeground = Brushes.BlueViolet,
        // A variation of the buttons to be placed on the dialog box.
        // Implemented as flags so can be configured based on preference.
        // However, there are predefined options such as DialogBoxButtons.PrimaryAndClose and DialogBoxButtons.All.
        // Default value is DialogBoxButtons.PrimaryAndClose
        ButtonsConfiguration = DialogBoxButtons.Close | DialogBoxButtons.Primary,
        // A way of putting content on a button. Likewise for the Close and Secondary buttons.
        // Default value for primary is "Apply";
        // Default value for secondary is "Secondary";
        // Default value for primary is "Close"
        PrimaryButtonContent = "Apply",
        // Font size for buttons. Default value is 12
        ButtonsFontSize = 15,
        // The font family used for the buttons. Default value is "Segoe UI"
        ButtonsFontFamily = new FontFamily("Arial")
    };
    
    // Show the window and wait for the exit from the dialog.
    // The result is a DialogBoxResult enum, and can be Primary, Secondary, or Close
    var result = box.ShowDialog();
    
    // Simple display of a dialog box without waiting for the user's decision.
    box.Show();
