dialog window

Question

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding dialog windows...

I have a few windows in xaml which I call using window.ShowDialog()... however It opens a new "item" in the operating system (in this case windows vista) status bar.. What do I have to do to make it appear as a dialog window and NOT appear in the OS status bar?

I Can't seem to make a window which can be resized and not have the minimize and maximize buttons (similar to WindowStyle=ToolWindow but without being a toolwindow)..

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Window has a separate property AppearInTaskBar that you can set.

Answer 2

I can't seem to find it...

Can you provide some sample code?

Thanks in advance

Answer 3

Sorry, it is ShowInTaskbar right after the ResizeMode.

Also you might want to give it a parent. Here is the sample . . .

You could use PopUp. PopUp do not appear in the status bar.

I think you mean TaskBar.

You could set the Window's ShowInTaskbar property to false.

For example:

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.Window2"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
         WindowState="Normal" WindowStyle="ToolWindow"
         ShowInTaskbar="False"
    Title="Window2" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>
       
    </Grid>
</Window>
