Can anyone recommend a Silverlight way of simulating the effect of a Windows model dialog? Or perhaps it's not wise to attempt this at all and use some other UI technique.
I have seen a few demos over the last year or so, including one by Stephan Dekker last January on the SL weekend where put a semi-transparent canvas over the main app window to create a dialog illusion. I think I've seen Jordan Knight do the same thing at a demo last year. I heard discussion that these techniques are not watertight because they're not really modal and don't block keystrokes. I'm using the Liquid controls, and they seem to contain a Dialog class. I'm going to take a couple of hours to play with the Liquid Dialog, but in the meantime I thought I'd ask about this subject in general. Cheers, Greg Ps. I've put the context menu into the too-hard-basket for now. I'll return to it later when I have more hobby time, or SL4 arrives with one.
